We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

The Social Security system is crashing, locking senior citizens out for long stretches nearly every day. And Trump's solution is to lay off 1000 more workers and slash the IT budget by 50%. Start asking if the purpose is to crash our economy and society. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

According to IRS estimates, the internal sabotage by DOGE has already cost the U.S. Treasury more than $500 billion in revenues that otherwise would have been raised by April 15th. But it doesn’t stop there. DOGE is also in the process of closing down the Tax Division at the Department of Justice.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

How does a man like Putin, who grew up in a rat infested apartment end up being worth $200 billion and owning a house as such. Without ever working in any business? He becomes a President and steals from the people. This is where we are at. Now imagine it’s America. How much can they steal?
