We are not up against legislators in Congress fighting over healthcare or energy or consumable goods, we are up against a regime running step-by-step according to a detailed far right blueprint to reform the US government.

Trump's handling of the health crisis is a tragedy in the making. 50,000 deaths are predictable each year. The Trump regime's ideological obsession and political chaos are closely linked to this planned health genocide, a reflection of chilling cynicism.
