Scalise happily voted down subsidies for ACA coverage. He has exceptional healthcare benefits partially paid by taxpayers that included stem cell transplant therapy for multiple myeloma that saved his life. But denies the same for others.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

As I've written, Trump is unpopular on pretty much every major issue of his presidency, including inflation, health care, tariffs, immigration, and deportations. But his approval rating on Epstein is in a league of its own, and not in a good way. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-app...
