How MAGA stopped 9/11 health care funding
The latest congressional fiasco — and its implications on 9/11 health care funding — is both a preview and a punctuation of the divisive MAGA-driven politics that defined D’Esposito’s time in Washington and will continue to plague New York’s battleground Republicans.

Somehow, it led D’Esposito to end up voting for a congressional spending plan that removed the 9/11 health care plan he had championed and reached across the aisle for.

On Wednesday, D’Esposito, was celebrating how the measure was poised to become law as part of an already-negotiated congressional spending plan.

But on Thursday, House Speaker Mike Johnson nixed the entire thing, placating concerns from President-elect Donald Trump and sudden congressional powerbroker Elon Musk about government waste and the debt ceiling.

The incoming politicians and those returning were given a mandate to make America great again,” he said. “We know that you cannot make America great again if you leave behind those that are sick and those that are dying that answered the call on 9/11.”

1. Just as I have said about Muslims who abandoned the Democrats

You made your bed, now it's time to lie down on it.

It is discouraging when the people who you fight for, and support turn their backs on your ability to continue to advocate for them.

I would never work against firefighters in New York, or anywhere else. But my support will have to be won back. So, I've decided, for this cycle, to sit back and watch if a large segment of Americans who voted for Trump and then are getting fucked.

Pass the popcorn.

I expect our party and us to vote the correct way. But not going to take the time to protest and get outraged as they voted for these things .

3. The only firefighters the GOP likes are dead ones.

They can't use firefighters still living as props in their speeches.

8. Nobody voted for Trump becsuse they think he will help with health care

they voted on other things. So obviously things like him being a racist, misogynist, were more important reasons to vote for him so they are getting what they voted for.

12. wait until we have martial law

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to declare a national emergency to address illegal immigration upon taking office on January 20, 2025. This declaration would enable the use of military assets to conduct mass deportations of undocumented immigrants residing in the United States.

What comes after a national emergency is.... Martial law. We will never get rid of trump
