Last September, when an aide told Fetterman that officials with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, known as CHOP, wanted to meet because they were worried about Medicaid cuts, he was dismissive.
Fetterman

Aide
Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.

The same Trump-appointee who fucked with the Broadview 6 grand jury is the one going after E. Jean Carroll.
Andrew Boutros, the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney for Northern Illinois, has opened an criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the 82-year-old former magazine writer who accused President Trump of sexual assault, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.

The investigation is believed to center on whether Ms. Carroll committed perjury in civil lawsuits against Mr. Trump, according to the person, who requested anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Ms. Carroll won a $5 million civil judgment against Mr. Trump that he had sexually abused and defamed her.Grand jurors in tainted 'Broadview 6' case had contact with Chicago's top federal prosecutor, defense says
U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros responded by saying he has only attended grand jury proceedings “as the Chief Legal Advisor to the federal grand juries of this district, including to welcome them when they were impaneled or to advise generally on the role, function, and importance of the grand jury in our constitutional system of laws.”

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.
I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need "coaching" on dedistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting Virginia. 10-1.Replying to Ted Cruz on redistricting: You all started it and we fucking finished it.
