CREATURE — POLITICIAN
SNAP Backfire⊙ 2Target opponent loses 2 food tokens. If they have none, they lose 2 life. (Reference: Voted for $230B SNAP cut per CBO.)
Medicaid Mirage⊙ 3Target creature gains +0/+3 until end of turn. Then, at the beginning of your next upkeep, sacrifice that creature. (Reference: Claimed H.R. 1 strengthened Medicaid while CBO projected $880B cut.)
VA Threat⊙ 1Exile target disabled veteran token. (Reference: Threatened a disabled veteran with DOGE referral during a VA hearing.)
Public records show Van Orden voted for a budget framework projected by the CBO to cut $880 billion from Medicaid and $230 billion from SNAP over 10 years, while his district includes 78,000 SNAP recipients and an estimated 30,000 at risk of losing health coverage. He subsequently claimed the bill 'strengthened and protected Medicaid,' a characterization not supported by the nonpartisan analysis.
