    The Whitehouse doctored an image of an arrest to make a black person look like they were crying. The pain, suffering, and death of minorities is 1000% the point.

    Reminder that undocumented people don’t receive Medicaid. Their targeting family members of beneficiaries, mostly the parents of kids.

      Came here to ask about this. Makes sense that they’d use it to find secondary connections.

      By law, federal Medicaid money cannot be used to cover people who are in the country illegally. But in recent years, nearly half of states, including some led by Republicans, have chosen to use their own Medicaid money to extend coverage to certain groups of people, such as children and pregnant women, regardless of immigration status.
