MAGA Republicans shut down the government because lowering healthcare costs for working families wasn’t on their agenda.

22 million Americans face premiums jumping 75% — all to keep billionaires comfortable.

It’s time to end the games and protect our care. Call Congress NOW: 877-851-2521.

Nearly 80 million people rely on Medicaid for their health, independence, and peace of mind. But behind every number, there’s a real family, a personal story, and a community counting on access to care.

Without ANY doubt. The federal government, under Republican control, with 6 “justices” essentially saying the adjudicated rapist/convicted felon in OUR WH is “above the law.” It was NEVER about making our country safer. It’s about creating chaos, anger, violence.

Bob Ross paintings to be auctioned to raise money for public television stations after funding cuts

"I can’t think of a more meaningful way to share his works of art than by supporting public television’s mission to educate and inspire," said the president of Bob Ross Inc.

If these ppl weren’t corrupt to begin with, they would have stopped him. She accepted an illegal donation from him seemingly associated w a decision not to prosecute him over how he cheated Floridians re his “university.” She had to return the money, eventually.
