Can Sec. Noem look at Goerge Retes, Lenardo Vanegas, and 170+ U.S. citizens in the eye and lie to their face?

We’ve read the reports, heard the stories, and seen the videos. Americans citizens, including children, are being illegally detained.

This is the racial profiling dragnet we warned about.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Mace, who is running for governor of South Carolina, reportedly told police this is no way to treat a “f---ing U.S. representative.” The GOP congresswoman is downplaying the incident.

ACA premiums are rolling out and causing sticker stock. People may abandon insurance. In 2006-7 I saw in a year-long project in ERs how unaffordable health insurance crippled healthcare in the US. We should not want that back again.

As I’ve said let ppl see what happens when subsidies aren’t renewed , it makes signing up impossible for many millions.
Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.
