@jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated and found he’s a 26-year-old former Eagle Scout named Patrick O’Hanlon who says he was just doing his job.

Just like a woman in California has a right to an abortion twhile a woman in Missouri does not.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance
