If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.

Just a reminder. Executive Orders are memos to the Executive Branch. They are not laws.
Congress makes laws.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Hi fed friends. A few things to keep in mind:
Keep an eye out for new software on your computers
Assume that your gov devices are being monitored
Assume calls are being recorded and chats reviewed
Ok. Have a great paranoia-free evening!

The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.
