Instead of cutting Medicaid, why don't we close corporate loopholes. Tax loopholes, write-offs and other ways of lowering income that allows corporations to avoid taxes! That costs the government billions!
Hands off our Medicaid!

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
