In addition to the obviously biased framing here, @washingtonpost AGAIN made a factual error that is easily checked. The FY 22-23 budget recently signed by @GovRonDeSantis is NOT $101.5 billion. It's easy to find the actual number. 30 seconds on Google. What are reporters for? pic.twitter.com/YeZJ4QQOVT

Pushaw ended her Twitter thread by highlighting that the Washington Post lied about Ron DeSantis denying medicaid coverage to people who identify as transgender.
The Washington Post claims that DeSantis’ guidance against using Medicaid funds to pay for gender transition surgery issued Thursday “paves the way for DeSantis to enact a rule that would ban Medicaid coverage for transgender people of any age.”
This sentence is also patently false. There is nothing to suggest that transgender people could be "banned from Medicaid coverage". Anyone who is eligible for Medicaid, regardless of gender, can use it. But Medicaid should not be used to cover dangerous, unproven interventions pic.twitter.com/0vaepzgqWr
