Now an attorney in Texas she writes: “I was in deep” into TPUSA, “an organization within which I initially found so much belonging and joy. However, the deeper I got, the more meanness I found. A nastiness that I didn’t understand….” 02212

Caroline Stout @babybluetx.bsky.social · 01/07/2025So we can all agree that Trump intends for Medicare and Medicaid to collapse so that he can either offer government loans with insane strings attached to hospitals or overhaul the healthcare system altogether in some kind of crazy MAHA way, right? 120
