Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

I think, when the chickens come home to roost, and the Regime is held accountable, the Democrat Democracy Defectors should be counted with that regime.
I had a pithy, hyperbolic version of this - but all things given, probably not strategic to build off of Franklin.

All the Dem votes to open the government all take money from the airline industry. Remember, air traffic controllers were working without pay?
Dems opened the government to appease their wealthy donors - airlines instead of for us.

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

As others have said, we all need to be clear on the fact that what is happening in Chicago is a preview of what they are planning for all blue cities.
Especially as midterms approach.
They will tear gas us at the polls and say, oh, this isn't voter suppression. It's just business as usual.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

AIPAC sucks, supports genocide, and is a hub for Christian Zionists as much as anyone. *And* at the same time:
When you vaguepost like this about issues unrelated to Israel suggesting an org associated with Judaism is to blame, you are at least FLIRTING with antisemitic conspiracy theory.

On top of that, these "Democrats" and @schumer.senate.gov just validated the GOP talking point that the MINORITY PARTY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHUTDOWN.
These people think they're playing 4D chess and all they are, are patsies, if not bad-faith actors.
