Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

They wear masks because they are pardoned Jan 6 insurrectionists. So all we need to do is trace the whereabouts of pardoned Jan 6 insurrectionists. He pardoned them for his own little army full of over-emotional immature little men. With guns.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

Trump refers to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis as “Stage 9.” Not once, but twice, Trump erroneously and absurdly labeled Biden’s cancer as “Stage 9.” President Biden has been diagnosed with Stage 4 (metastatic) prostate cancer — and there is absolutely NO SUCH THING as a “Stage 9”…

You might be on Medicaid without realizing it — because it’s called something else in your state. Ever heard of Apple Health? Soonercare? Medi-Cal? That’s Medicaid. If they slash it, you could lose coverage and not know why. Check this list to see what it’s called where you live. 👇 #ProtectMedicaid
