So they trotted out military equipment, played with it and gloated over it.

Trump said he stopped (8) wars.

Are we for peace or war???because the military bragging is quite the optic distraction.

The awkward and illegal dragnet whipped up by frenzied ICE agents is a buffoonish catch and release scheme which leads to grabbing US citizens off the street without due process.

Itโ€™s a nightmare of even greater proportions for our immigrant neighbors.

It has to stop. ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

At my sonโ€™s wedding, we ran out of food in the buffet line. Afterward, the kitchen staff wrapped โ€œleftoversโ€ and gave them to us. Apparently, some food was never refreshed or put out at all.

Every $1 spent on public health prevention saves up to $5.60 in Hoosier healthcare costs.

Every $1 spent on public health prevention saves up to $5.60 in Hoosier healthcare costs.

Public health is infrastructure. And every $1 spent on prevention saves up to $5.60 in health costs. So why does Indiana underfund it? We need budgets that reflect care, not crisis.

"CDC is over": RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

This is because RFK, Jr. had zero idea what the CDC does on a day to day basis. We sure needed the CDC during COVID and before that happened, the CDC handled cases of Ebola in the USA.

Trump can RIF scientists right and left. No one thinks they need science or scientific cures for some reason. Until. . .

I recall Trump being more than willing to be helicoptered from the White House when he had COVID. He wanted everything medicine had to offer-no holds barred. He wanted science.

Kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance doesn't mean people won't get sick.

It makes health care more expensive for everyone.
