I check #SpotTheScammer & #SpotTheBot daily and I will NOT follow any account whose followers are littered with scam accounts and AI Bots mining followers.

No "auto" follows from me, ever. I check. If your account looks sketchy, I'll report & block it.

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."

Happy to help. These scammers are an annoying blight that hinder the site & those who are here to find community.

To the extent that it is true that federal money covers healthcare for illegal immigrants, it's because Congress and Ronald Reagan back in the 1980s understood it would be monstrous for it not to.

Illegal Immigrants Are Already Getting Health Care Under Donald Trump

The program financing ER care for illegal immigrants has been around for four decades, and not even Trump wants to take it away.
