Will this new "lifeline" increase my income to the point I lose the current "lifeline" assistance I get from the state, which will eat up and negate that "extra" $200 and then some, faster than snow melting in hell?

No need for IVF when red states force girls and women to bear children they don't want. Just put 'em up for adoption and everyone unable to have children will adopt them and give them a wonderful life, just the way God intended...isn't that right, conservatives?

"You need subsidy for wind" does he mean money?

If you're having trouble canceling a subscription from a merchant, make sure you contact your bank at least 3 days prior to the next charge and request a Stop Payment Order. I've done this with no problem and no fees. Some banks may only do it temporarily, 6 months or so; others may require a fee.

"Trump lieutenants have earnestly asked one another if they thought Musk was high. A lawyer for Musk has said he's 'regularly and randomly drug-tested at SpaceX and has never failed a test.'"

House Republicans and 4 Democrats just voted to force every married woman who changed her name to obtain a $130 passport to exercise her freedom to vote. What are you planning on doing about that?

Speaking of eliminating waste and fraud, Trump's first term golf outings alone cost taxpayers $151 million. Since the beginning of his 2nd term just 70 days ago, his golf outings alone have cost taxpayers $26 million or more than $336k daily. Where is DOGE?
