It's true, however given govt is by the people, for the people, why not start organizing our own people's HHS?
Let's create our own organizations that operate the right way, no matter what the feds are doing.
Their power is purely due to us NOT doing that

Yes. They are going after the provisions of the ACA that required certain health maintenance services/diagnostics to be provided free of charge. Say buh-bye to mammograms, PAP smears, colonoscopies, lab work, yearly exams AND the pre-existing conditions clause. All to benefit private insurance.

In case some of you think I am wrong for advocating violence, what do you think should be done to masked kidnappers (even official ones) when there are credible reports of them RAPING CHILDREN IN THEIR CUSTODY and they won't let anyone confirm it isn't happening??

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.
Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
What's happened since?
A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.
