I live in a rural, bright red county & I watch the county commissioners most every week. We got >$8 million. I canât remember anyone saying âItâs a trap! Send it all back!â And the Public Health dept got ~$1 million to pay for extra expenses incurred bc of Covid.

The Trump administration treated anti-ICE protestors worse because of the content of their speech, in violation of the First Amendment, Ellis says. In fact, the president and Secretary Noem have said exactly that, Ellis says.

Ellis rules that the Trump administration impermissibly prevented the free exercise of religion, in violation of the First Amendment. Those engaged in prayer have been shot, without warning, with pepper balls and tear gas, Ellis says.

Basically I think we all need to stop and marvel at how well the ACA was put together that after 15 years of unrelenting hostility it still stands, the parts they can effect don't undo the whole (despite worries about the mandate penalty), and touching anything else is suicide.
