3) Frozen communications and updates for the NIH and the CDC
4) raised prescription prices previously capped

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

Mass deportation & the Laken Riley Act falsely target immigrants as criminals. Research from the FBI & Brennan Center proves U.S. citizens are far more likely to commit crimes, including violent ones. Immigrants strengthen communities & lower crime rates—don’t let fear fuel injustice.

They hide this—we will have to pay the bill while they keep TAKING and distracting us with HATE for each other so that we won’t notice.
They don’t want you to know about Martin Luther King’s “One Penny” speech…
