Again: Steering public dollars to private religious schools has always been the #1 goal of @GovBillLee and his fellow privatizers.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

Can we trust the FBI and this Justice Department after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate and politicize those previously independent agencies?

They’re desperately trying to separate the pipe bomber from MAGA, Trump, and 1/6. It’s why there’s a 22-day gap in the arrest affidavit. I’ll be covering this on the @meidastouch.com channel tomorrow at noon PT.
Please call the guy the January 6th pipe bomber.
Fox is calling him the "January 5th bomber" because he planted the bombs the night before but really because they don't want to mention 1/6 as a bad day.

Cannot overstate how dangerous this is.
HHS quietly rescinded the rule that required a minimum number of staff to be present at Skilled Nursing Facilities, Nursing Homes , stating Bidens rule disproportionately burden Facilities. Be aware. Part of the elimination of people who cost money. Nothing is more precious than money
