In 2018, Annalinda Martinez and her daughters became homeless. She went to Georgia's child welfare agency looking for help finding housing. Instead, the state took her children. Then DFCS began charging her for their foster care. Those bills eventually left her $13,000 in debt.

Georgia removed her kids because she was homeless. The state is charging her $13,000 for foster care

Georgia is among several states that have moved away from charging parents for their kids' time in foster care. But parents who already owe money for past cases are still on the hook.

They always tell the lower classes that they need to suffer more in order to become prosperous. The rich never have to suffer. In fact, the rich are rewarded constantly for merely being rich. Republicans don’t care if you suffer. It’s your fault for not being rich enough to avoid suffering.

Government by the prosperity gospel. The rich are rich because they’re blessed for being moral. The poor are poor because they’re punished for being immoral. The rich are never means tested to prove they create jobs. While the poor are means tested to prove they are both poor and have jobs.

RFK Jr. needs a bigger security detail and the first place they go looking for money is the Office of Minority Health—the HHS office that works to reduce health disparities faced by racial and ethnic minorities. This tells you everything you need to know about the Trump administration’s priorities.
