There are plenty of valid reasons to critique the president and his nominee for that big health entity- but disparaging one for being a 'felon' and the other for being an 'addict' isn't helping anyone. Your friends, family members, and communities can hear you too.

Drug-induced homicide prosecutions are vengeance and retribution masquerading as 'justice' when there are far more effective strategies to keep people safe. If Webb were offered MOUD or had an OPC instead of a Safeway bathroom, he would still be here. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Trump's 2017 tax cuts are set to expire within the next year. Extending the tax cuts would add another $4 trillion to the national debt. Cuts to Medicaid and SNAP equaling the amount necessary to cover that budget shortfall would affect around 70 million Americans with lower incomes.
