Bobby's doing better, at home again. His home healthcare starts today & it's pretty expensive, but it helps to keep him out of the hospital & at home with his family.
Let's help Bobby stay a bit more stress free from the extra medical cost he has to cover outside of insurance.
Donate and share!

Bobby is home from the hospital for the first time since October, and we don’t want this to be a short visit home. To keep him there, we need to raise $450 to cover his healthcare worker so he can stay out of the hospital—and we need your support. Chip in $15, $27, $50 — or go rogue with any amount.

There are lessons that Dems can learn from the brilliant performance of Bad Bunny’s 1/2 time show. He was messaging the opposing view of trumps hateful mess about America & immigrants. BB embraced the beauty, love, & culture of the Americas and that together, we can learn and appreciate each other.

So Trump's $40 billion bought: election interference to install a compliant leader, hedge fund profits for connected insiders, and some extraction contracts for a few corporations. What did regular Americans get? The bill. And the geopolitical blowback when this blows up.

Let's be clear about what just happened. Your tax dollars backstopped $40 billion in loans and currency swaps. If Argentina defaults, you eat the loss. But Citrone already cashed out with 20% profits. You took the risk. He took the reward. Socialism for the rich.
