Do I have this right? Trump says he will steal and sell Venezuela's oil He will be PERSONALLY in charge of spending the profits He will set up an "off-shore" account for the money Seems like people went to jail for a very similar scheme by the Reagan administration in the 1980s (Iran Contra)

When the nearest hospital is 60 miles away, every minute matters. Every closure hurts. The recent spending package signed into law by Trump doesn't just cut funding. It cuts care, safety, & dignity from rural lives. There's nothing "pro-life" about cutting funding to hospitals. zurl.co/M5nKI

Rural hospitals will be hit hard by Trump’s signature spending package

Drastic cuts to Medicaid and other public health provisions in the new law will mean even less money to rural hospitals, many of which are already at risk of closing.
