Joni Ernst is a POS: "Illegals" don't get Medicaid benefits. Medicaid is not money mailed to people. Medicaid PAYS health bills. My mom's memory care was paid for by Medicaid. And it's HARD as HELL to qualify. Undocumented people sometimes pay IN thru taxes. They do NOT get friggin' benefits. Bitch.

Last year on Medium I exposed the operator of a winery/wedding venue as a racist, sexist, despicable anonymous Xitter account. He—or someone—got Medium to take my story down and he deleted his account. He's started a new account, using the same exact language, and lies about himself. 🙄 Story soon.

An epidemiologist at Columbia had to issue a statement saying the research article RFK Jr. cited with her name is FAKE. It’s not real. The paper itself doesn’t EXIST. Yall this is fascism. FAKE scientific articles used by the government to influence policy is FASCISM. This is horrifying.
