Musk saying he’s shutting down illegal money launderers and it’s Lutheran Social Services

Musk saying he’s shutting down illegal money launderers and it’s Lutheran Social Services

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down

Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

Hot tip for the next two years: a Republican bill does the opposite of what it’s called.

A GOP bill defunding schools that mandate vaccines would be called the “Protect our Schools Act.”

A GOP bill raising the retirement age for social security would be called the “Retire With Dignity Act.”

When children are slaughtered in their classrooms MAGA/GOP always say “this isn’t the time for politics”

But as 1,000s of 1st responders fight to save lives & 10’s of thousands are losing their homes & businesses, the MAGA Party is bringing political gasoline. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
