Quote Tweet
Rural America is witnessing a healthcare crisis that is devastating local communities. An uptick of hospital closures, shortage of primary care providers, and challenges with affordable and accessible care options are endangering the lives of millions of Americans.

Here is VP Pence lawyer Greg Jacob's letter to National Archives Jan 18, 2023.👇
This is how you keep your client out of jail.
Like the known facts in Biden case, the strong contrast with Trump's conduct shows why Trump is in so much legal jeopardy and stands to be indicted.

When we see the splits between non college educated whites and college educated whites, remember that college is where many are exposed to Black people as social and intellectual peers for the first time.
And remember that GOP is desperate to get rid of affirmative action.

If you stroll the cold and flu medicine aisle these days, you might notice shelves that are bare, or nearly so.
Drug manufacturers point to a big spike in demand. That's not surprising, given the surge in three respiratory viruses.

Courts decided this during the independent counsel investigation of President Clinton.
There's no privilege for White House lawyers in a DOJ criminal investigation.

The threats made against schools today across Georgia are unacceptable, and I expect those who made these threats to be held accountable for their actions! To live in a constant state of fear is not a place where our kids should have to live!
