It's interesting to note that Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 -- a period of time when the Jeffrey Epstein's plane records became public, lawsuits were filed and a lot of new evidence against Epstein surfaced.

It’s called Medi-Cal in California. I’ll bet a lot of folks don’t know it’s funded by Medicaid.
Many folks are on Medicaid but don’t know it because their state calls it something else. Hoosiercare in IN. Peach care in GA. Badgercare in WI.
They don’t realize their medical care is on the chopping block. What does your state call it? Let’s get replies going and the word out!

Fortune 500 CEOs gave Trump $225 mik for his inauguration—a grotesque display of corporate bootlicking. That money could’ve gone to workers as raises. Instead, they funded a party for a guy who turned sedition into a brand. It’s not just wrong—it’s a slap in the face to hardworking Americans.

I’ll continue to beat this drum: We’re not paying enough attention to Tulsi Gabbard. She is Trump’s most dangerous pick. At best, she’s just a Putin cheerleader. At worst, she’s a Russian asset. She should be nowhere near American intelligence. She must not be confirmed.

Why is the New York Times describing Charles Kushner’s crimes as “violations”? Rolling through a stop sign is a violation. These were felonies that sent Kushner to prison.
