Yet again, Trump is grossly abusing the criminal justice system by directing an unqualified political lackey to indict his adversary.

Let’s be clear: this kind of corruption is how authoritarians become dictators.

And this is also on every Republican who doesn’t speak up.

So … the conclusion is that you are going to pay the hospital the same then for two pregnant women who go to the ER? It doesn’t even make sense as an example, let alone that he has any evidence.
Bottom line is: Their bill takes away services, it does not add any.

The Trump admin’s offer to give preferential treatment to institutions that toe the party line reeks of bribery in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological agenda.

This is corruption.
