NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Corporate profits have hit record highs.
CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker.
We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid.
But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

The Trump regime is plotting to convert commercial warehouses to massive ICE detention centers.
Private prison corporations, who just so happened to donate to Trump, are already raking in billions.

Also, it isn’t just the provider who will get fucked- it’s the waiver recipients as well.
In order to keep your waiver, you have to use the services per your PCSP. I genuinely believe this is also an attempt to disqualify eligible recipients.

This causes delays in payment and improper recouping attempts from MCOs/FFS claiming that documentation isn’t valid.
This will ultimately lead to home care providers dropping clients, staff, and eventually shutting down these programs all together.
Assuming a state doesn’t cut it entirely first.
