Guess where Comer, a wealthy man, gets his healthcare? From the government.
Comer: "We care about the people that are gonna lose -- ah, that could potentially lose healthcare. But there are people that can't afford healthcare. We've gotta get people off Medicaid and into the workforce and into private healthcare."

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

They’re also contracting w/ state & local police to conduct/coordinate immigration “enforcement.” That’s a program Obama created, but he also terminated various contracts under the policy after investigations found that many depts were abusing their authority.
This administration won’t do that.

The Justice Department quietly invoked the Alien Enemies Act last month, granting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents the power to conduct warrantless searches of people’s homes based solely on suspicion that they are “alien enemies.”

That RFK Jr. has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.
They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.
This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.
