Isn't it the fastest St growing sector in the World?
As far as I can research, it's only political camps in cahoots with the current 🇺🇸 administration, that seem to be rolling backward to oil baron/fossil fuel interests and climate change denial.

Yes it's great to see the high office glass ceiling broken at last, but sad it's the hard right conservatism that will reside there!
The non dom Billionaires, with self interests influencing world politics, is now the biggest threat to democratic societies across 🌍

The extensive number of supporters, enablers and actors behind him. From the board members of Heritage Foundation to Leo, Musk, McConnell, J. Roberts, K. Roberts, G. Thomas, the Devos family. All these people and more have a hand in the fascism they are pushing this country towards.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

The new Medicaid rules are even worse for people who need life-saving medication.

I'll let this wonderful, extremely mad, mom explain how bad this new rule is and how it is impacting her young son.

Please watch. Then share this everywhere!

I haven’t seen a single Republican show any concern for workers going without pay, still scraping together money for childcare and transportation just to get to the office.

They just care about keeping Trump happy and blocking the Epstein files.
