I just got excited about the green card. No, no, but that's the reality. And that's the same energy that came the last time that President Trump was in office in 2017. They proposed cuts that, frankly, almost were exactly the same size. It was around $900 billion that time. So they haven't learned their lesson.

But at that time, and folks might remember the late Senator John McCain's thumbs down, which was when that terrible cut was saved. We were saved from that. And at that time, you had disabled people from different groups, including National Adapt, come and stage a die-in at Leader McConnell at the Times office.

That is what you have disabled advocates like folks like Alice Wong and folks like Amani and everybody else putting their bodies on the line because this is literally a life and death issue for disabled people. Disabled people who have fought for decades to get out of institutions. There are still institutions open in over 35 states.

And that's the funding shift, the magic wand thing I want to do, getting that money out of those institutions and into the community. But that's what you're going to have to see, and that's what we know that disability advocates and allies have lined up to fight against the Medicaid cuts this time around again.

Yeah, I think the threats to 504 are really about protecting the rights of people to be part of their communities in all the different ways that Zoe said.
