This is good news:
Over 55% of births in Mississippi are funded by Medicaid. It's crazy that anyone in this very "pro-life" state would be in favor of Medicaid cuts.

Her offense is that she got too close to a co-worker. He tried to rig an election. Her personal life has no relation to the merits of the case. Her personal life was not an alleged conspiracy to steal an election, with many other co-conspirators and crimes committed.

I have read that if I don't post something, I won't be followed back. But mostly what I do on here is read and comment on other people's posts. I learn a lot from reading the thoughts of others who are more tuned in. One thing for sure, if you do follow me back, I won't be cluttering up your feed!
