trump is sending $500 checks to people utilizing the ACA in battleground states with a letter stating that Biden 'overcharged' them through the system. They're only being sent to swing states. This is blatant vote purchasing, and not one fucking thing will happen to him over it.

$165 million a year in taxpayer contracts to run detention camps, then $1.4 million flows straight back to Trump’s super PAC the following month. That’s your money, laundered through a prison company, landing right back in Trump’s political war chest. #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS #Pinks
