Last year four Maine hospitals were identified as at risk of closing due to HR 1. If these hospitals closed, Aroostook County would lose $113.6 million in wages, Hancock County $55.3 million, and Washington County $15.8 million. #mepolitics www.mecep.org/blog/medicai...

"In today’s America, it is actually Trump, himself, who is taking government stakes in private enterprises." Yet no journalist talks about Trump's communist streak with gov owning private business and one party rule!

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts, 88 corporations — including Coinbase, CVS, and Disney — paid ZERO federal income tax last year. They also spent $852M on political donations and lobbying. Their combined tax savings: over $26 BILLION (a 3,000% ROI!) We must break this corrupt cycle.

conversion therapy and crisis pregnancy centers both benefit from putting quackery and expertise on equal footing, except even that's not enough. CPCs got millions from HHS while they also tried to block Medicaid recipients from obtaining care at Planned Parenthood. Quackery REPLACES expertise.

HHS directly gives crisis pregnancy centers millions of dollars
And the federal government is continuing to double down on a "pro-life" agenda.
