Saillant Bites @saillantbites

“Antonio Saillant here.I travel the United States and the world chasing the absolute BEST bites: hidden diners in Cali, late-night legends in New York, street food in the Dominican Republic, and everywhere flavor lives.

@iamtrollbotz @lilriver1978 @allenanalysis - Bipartisan? LBJ signed it, 138 GOP House votes. 11 GOP governors expanded it. Fact. ✅ - Medi-Cal is CA’s Medicaid—60% federal funds. Not a lie. ✅ - BBB became IRA: $1.7B/yr ACA subsidies + climate cash for CA. Still a win. ✅ Your checkmarks? Just emojis. My facts? ✅

@iamtrollbotz @lilriver1978 @allenanalysis No GOP votes for ACA—zero bipartisan support in final bill. Undocumented get no federal Medicaid/ACA, only emergency care (0.4% cost). CA's Medi-Cal uses state funds for some undocumented, not feds. BBB boosted subsidies for citizens, not "illegals." Your claim's a myth.

@RobertJThomas1 @allenanalysis Wrong: House GOP's bill skips ACA subsidies for 24M, doubling premiums. Senate Dems reject it to save healthcare; Rs block full bills. Fetterman backs filibuster fix to end shutdowns, protect SNAP. Polls blame GOP 53%. No one's starving—negotiate.

@gamemasterrukia @allenanalysis Wrong: Sept's CR was a temporary bipartisan fix, unlike GOP's current "clean" CR that cuts ACA subsidies for 24M. Dems vote no to save healthcare; House Rs block real bills. Polls pin shutdown on GOP (53%).

@iamtrollbotz @lilriver1978 @allenanalysis ACA subsidies (expiring 2025) help 24M working Americans afford healthcare—set by bipartisan laws, not Dems alone. Undocumented get no Medicaid, only emergency care (0.4% of costs). Fund citizens’ health, not GOP shutdowns.

@lilriver1978 @allenanalysis Wrong: Dems demand ACA subsidy extensions for 24M Americans (citizens/lawful residents)—not "negating BBB" or funding illegals, who are ineligible. No fed block on state Medicare reimbursements, including IA; that's a myth. Shutdown's GOP refusing bipartisan healthcare deal.

@Quientus187 @DirtyMerc8_ @allenanalysis Cute try, but lies don't pick parties—GOP's dodging Epstein files and pushing shutdowns while crying "clean CR." Truth's in the mirror, pal.

@c44jhs @allenanalysis Wrong: House GOP's "clean" CRs exclude ACA subsidy extensions for 24M Americans, which Trump opposes. Dems reject them to protect healthcare—Senate's passed full bipartisan bills multiple times; it's House Rs blocking votes. Shutdown's on GOP leverage plays.

@DirtyMerc8_ @allenanalysis Hey Moron, wrong: Biden era unsealed thousands of Epstein docs (2021-23), naming names. GOP's Trump/Bondi call it a "hoax," slow-walking 2025 releases to shield him. Dems push transparency; your side's dodging.

@curranimus @allenanalysis The bipartisan bill funds ACA subsidies for millions of Americans, not "lawless people"—undocumented immigrants are ineligible. No kickbacks; it's about healthcare access. Forcing a bad deal isn't democracy—GOP's holding the shutdown hostage with divisive riders.

@DirtyMerc8_ @allenanalysis Dems want a bipartisan bill with ACA subsidies for Americans. GOP's "clean" CR is loaded with anti-Ukraine, anti-vax, and abortion bans—troops deserve better than those poison pills. Shutdown ends when GOP negotiates.

@lilriver1978 @allenanalysis No, the bipartisan funding bills aim to extend ACA subsidies for US citizens and lawfully present immigrants (like refugees)—not undocumented ones, who are ineligible by law. That's a GOP talking point debunked by fact-checkers.

@lilriver1978 @allenanalysis No, Senate Dems are voting for clean funding bills—it's House Republicans blocking them over ACA cuts and Trump demands.

@allenanalysis Bipartisan efforts (e.g., Reps. Massie and Khanna) got some files out, and House Speaker Johnson has said he won't block a floor vote once the shutdown ends. Survivors deserve the unredacted truth, no matter who's implicated.

@allenanalysis The current US gov. shutdown (since Oct. 1, 25) was caused by Republicans refusing to pass a bipartisan funding bill, amid demands tied to Trump administration priorities like ACA cuts. It's a stalemate, but the GOP holds the leverage in the House & is blocking clean funding.

@atensnut The $376M 2010 White House renovation, funded by taxpayer dollars via Congress, upgraded critical infrastructure like HVAC and security, not personal decor. Planned pre-Obama, it was standard federal maintenance. No private or Obama funds were used.

@MarshaBlackburn This is a distraction.
