This post from Sen. Patty Murray is from Wednesday, so she posted it after the One Big Beautiful Bill had been signed into law. Plenty of Democrats gave speeches while the bill was being debated about how many thousands of people were going to die because the bill cut Medicaid to illegal aliens and added a work requirement for single, able-bodied people.
Murray heard Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins squash all of those amnesty rumors that were floating around on Tuesday and thought she'd weigh in:
The Trump administration thinks we should pull grandma out of the nursing home to have her work on a farm.

THAT'S who's losing Medicaid.
And I promise you, they will not fill the jobs left by immigrant farmworkers who this administration is deporting. https://t.co/DBNnHzdRm8
Illegal immigrant farmworkers. And yes, they're being deported. We're sorry you can't keep your slave labor to pick the crops.
It's not too late to delete this, Senator.

Medicaid ≠ Medicare
Grandmas are on Medicare, not Medicaid

The elderly are on Medicare not Medicaid. Learn the difference. It’s big.

Grandma is on Medicare not Medicaid.

None of this is true.

Grandma would not be considered an able bodied worker.

You think Rollins was talking about the elderly when she said "able-bodied Americans"? That seems like partisan tripe to me.

You're pathological.

You lie. Working age people have to go back to work 20 hours, volunteer or be in school. That is not difficult for people to do.

Liar...you cant be that dumb. ABLE BODIED YOUNG ADULTS. That was easy huh?

Hey Patty....I'm a grandmother and I do work on my farm. It isn't so bad. But I know older people, citizens, who can't even get Medicaid because of all the illegals you people have placed on it. Shame on you.
— Where's the Complaint Department? (@treasurebefound) July 9, 2025
None of the proposals adversely affect grandma in the nursing home. Why are you so against having a moderately low work/volunteer requirement for able-bodied adult people to get Medicaid?
— Richard S (@ras_twit2K) July 9, 2025
Your fear mongering reeks of desperation and stupidity.

Democrats have limitless contempt for the intelligence of their supporters.

The comments didn't go in quite the direction she'd planned. We'll give her credit for the colorful scenario: President Trump pulling your grandmother out of a nursing home and making her work on a farm to get health care. Let the illegals do the farm work, cheaply.
