(The Post Millennial)—An amendment that would have stripped some Medicaid funding from states that provide coverage to illegal immigrants has failed after it was unable to reach 60 votes. This comes as a marathon voting session is underway in the Senate in an effort to work through the Big Beautiful Bill.
43 Democrats and Maine Republican Susan Collins voted against the amendment, resulting in it not reaching the 60-vote threshold. Four Democrats sided with Republicans in voting for the amendment: Sens. Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Maggie Hassan.
Cornyn, who brought forth the amendment, wrote, “43 Democrats just BLOCKED my amendment to punish states that give Medicaid benefits to illegal aliens convicted or charged with crimes like murder or sex trafficking. Democrats chose to side with the worst of the worst in our society over our seniors and most vulnerable American citizens. Disgusting.”

A separate amendment from Senator Marsha Blackburn, which would have prohibited illegal immigrants from receiving Medicaid, was also blocked in the chamber in a 53-47 vote. The amendment also needed 60 votes to continue.
Blackburn wrote after the vote, “Democrats just blocked my amendment to stop illegal immigrants from receiving Medicaid coverage. Why do they want illegal aliens to receive government benefits on the taxpayers’ dime?”

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
