What’s gonna happen to all these holding facilities after all immigrants are deported? Nothing. They’re already finding new clients.

Christian Nationalist Logic:

β€œThey’re supposed to ask what the community wants β€” and I haven’t heard one person say the tunnel. This is not a real solution.”

When I lived in Spain, the pharmacist used to apologize each month when I'd pick up my specialized glaucoma eyedrops because they cost 25 euros (as opposed to a couple euros for the generic). Here, they cost $350 with insurance. Our system is so broken.

Watch this.

19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Checking the political donation box on your tax returns makes a big difference, but if someone else is preparing your returns, they might not know.

Make sure you β€” or your tax preparer β€” checks the box so you can support Kentucky Democrats.

Representative Jason Petrie is ignoring what's happening right on his doorstep.

Kentuckians, especially in rural communities, are suffering because of Medicaid cuts and the KY GOP is perfectly fine letting them go without life-saving care.

A year ago, the Trump administration announced an "affordability czar" because it sounded good on camera.Β 

Then they forgot about it, or maybe they just hoped you would forget. Either way, costs are still rising and that czar does not exist.
