Blue states have higher incomes, living standards, literacy and math, strong enviro protections, less pollution & less poverty... Red ones are at the bottom of most lists and are pockmarked by the fossil fuel industry. They accept it. That's Marxist brainwashing defined.

If they’re dead, then they aren’t receiving services. So is this money budgeted for deceased enrollees who are still on the rolls, in which case how is the state out any money? Or payments to providers for work they didn’t do, which is a crime

Higher because 75% of Americans are obese or overweight and have some of the worst health outcomes in the West. My finger surgery cost $20K. It's 75% cheaper in the UK. What R&D justifies that? RFK Jr. Facts claims we're being gouged with shitty drugs and arbitrary costs.

Free-ride how? Other nations buy the drugs at values set by these PRIVATE and highly profitable pharmaceutical companies. Americans pay more because their elected officials allow it. Lobbying. Also, everyone in the US is sick or addicted to something.

Mississippians with felony convictions still can’t vote, but they can become president. After another bill dies, the law doesn’t look like it will change anytime soon. msindy.org/p/with-a-felon…

Yeah, I voted for Trump but I never thought he’d be so foolish to actually move forward with 25% tariffs given the well-documented history of how the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 triggered the onset of the Great Depression as global trade flows dried up.

Trump's broad federal cuts couldn't have come at a worse time for the Mississippi River. American Rivers named it the most endangered river in the U.S. earlier this week. American Rivers Mississippi Independent msindy.org/p/mississippi-…
