This was great, not least because it's the best and clearest explanation I've seen of this whole mess, which is necessary because the facts here are constantly lost in the face of all the noise.

An astonishing figure in this piece:

Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing.

This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers.

That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.
Are We About to Have Labor Camps in the United States of America?
If you think that’s far-fetched, then you really haven’t been paying attention to what the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been up to lately.

"Missouri voters passed Medicaid expansion through a ballot initiative. Lawmakers delayed it for a year. That delay wasn’t just bureaucratic. It was ideological. The same political opposition continues to influence how care is distributed or withheld..."

Missouri must tie Medicaid dollars to access, staffing and infrastructure. Otherwise, expansion remains a policy in name, not in practice.

In West Virginia, women who miscarry could face felony charges if the state doesn't like how she disposed of the fetal remains.

This means a woman who miscarries at 9 weeks into a toilet & flushes, which is extremely common, could face criminal charges.

If someone says,
1. There are 11 million undocumented migrants!
2. I'm going to deport all 11 million of them!

And you vote for that, thinking that "He's only going to deport the criminals?"

Then you did in fact vote for that.

Because you know there are not 11 million undocumented criminals.

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.

Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.

They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.

This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.
