The GOP gives us a pittance and then...
“For those earning $1 million annually, a tax break buried in the recent coronavirus relief legislation is so generous that its total cost is more than total new funding for all hospitals" “Someone wrongly seized on this health emergency to reward ultrarich beneficiaries, likely including the Trump family, with a tax loophole not available to middle class families. This net operating loss loophole is a loser that should be repealed"

If you have not watched the movie The Laundromat on Netflix, you need to. It's about the Panama Papers, the biggest data leak, 11.5 million documents, from the 4th largest offshore law firm in 2016.
Thread. 2018 film that inspired The Laundromat

The GOP does not want to follow their own rules written and submitted by Goodlatte to Boehner PG H576 - H578 26JAN15. They only want to play by the rules when it suites their agenda including subpoenas. Facts and truth do not apply to the GOP and MAGA. Reference:
PUBLICATION OF COMMITTEE RULES
RULES OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY
FOR THE 114TH CONGRESS

📢 45's budget proposal has massive cuts to Education, HHS, SSI, EPA and 15 other departments. Only six departments are not receiving cuts with DOD having the largest increase. This thread exposes this heartless budget designed to pay back the #GOPTaxScam at our expense. The source of all the charts and budget quotes, directly from the budget proposal.

📢45 reduced fines for nursing homes that commit abuse, fraud or have substandard facilities. This will encourage more to put profit over patients and affect the care of our infirm and elderly. This thread is to raise awareness of this system and how we can prevent it. H/T to Patricia Revists Patrick Henry 💙@2021_free for posting this article that inspired this thread
"the average fine for nursing homes decreased to $28,405 under Trump...down from $41,260 in 2016, former President Obama's last year in office."

As we all know Fox News is 45's propaganda outlet, but did you know they have been influencing voters since 2000? They have had 19 years to hone their craft and addict people to their style of "news" and yes I said addict. I will explain this addiction in this thread. A little history review on voting and FOX viewers:

"Americans who say they voted for Trump in the general election relied heavily on Fox News as their main source of election news leading up to the 2016 election,"

Installment 4 of greed in HC, Big Pharma. Hospitals and Insurance are quiet about it, but Pharma is public and proud of their greed. In this thread, why we pay more than any other country for meds and what we need to do to fix it.
#HealthCareForAll
Healthcarerx.org Buckle in kids this is going to be a bumpy ride. Hospitals and insurance were easy, there are a multitude of moving parts in the Pharma greed machine making billions or trillions a year. I hope to shed some light on this exceptional greed generating complex we have in the U.S.

I recently posted a thread on greed as a road block to #HealthcareForAll in our country. Today I will focus on hospitals and the shift from healthcare to "profitcare". The more we educate on driving factors opposing us, the better we can fight. THREAD
Healthcarerx.org The "bottom line" has become more important, board members and investors are getting the priority over patients.

“The tenor and the responsibility of hospital CEOs has now changed ...They focus on the bottom line and.. they get performance ratings based on profitability,”

Everyone talks about health care in this country, however no one is discussing what I believe to be the root of the problem blocking H/C for all, greed. A trillion dollar industry is not going to give up profits with out a fight. Understand the problem and how to fight it. Thread As I see it there are four components to health care and a fifth I am pretty sure is exclusive to the U.S:
1. Health Care Delivery - Hospitals, Urgent Care, etc
2. Medical Surgical Supply - Equipment, band aids etc
3. Pharmaceuticals
4. Health Care insurance
5. GREED - $$$$$

Opinion time for this Dragon. I see plenty in the news and posted about McConnell either supporting 45 of or doing his bidding. Honestly Mitch has always been for Mitch. I believe he just sees 45 a a tool to forward his agenda or his employers agenda. He has always been an obstructionist when it comes to the Democrats or even GOP when it does not fall in line with the Kochs and dark money agenda. And he will always be an obstructionist it it suits the agenda.

It has started with Pelosi, the propaganda machine is in motion again. 2020 is the next target and it is only a matter time before propaganda starts rolling out to discredit Democrat proposed/possible candidates.
A reminder of major propaganda methods and organizations thread. Great thread by Troll Huntress on type and tactics of propaganda.

The "WalkAway" movement
If you haven't seen this on twitter or FB you need to be aware of the latest propaganda amplified by bots/trolls to dissuade us from voting democrat. I have made a few posts about them but realized a thread was needed to inform everyone of their agenda One note on this thread, I will not be using # so as to not cause this to trend or aid in trending this "movement". I recommend those that reply or post about WalkAway to not use # for the same reasons.

As I was looking into who is profiting from these detention centers for immigrants I came across the GEO Group. Most of the info is from 2017 and they donated heavily to groups backing Trump after the Obama admin announced it would phase out private prisons in August of 2016. Profiting off those seeking a better life is big business with help from the Trump admin. South West Key, who run the child detention centers in Texas will be discussed later in thread. I hope someone with better research skills and time will delve deeper into this issue.

🔥In Sep of 2017 I did a thread on the danger of Sinclair Broadcasting after watching a segment by John Oliver. It has now come true. This thread shows how dangerous they are and have become. If you are not aware of Sinclair, read this thread and RT to get the word out. 🔥 Sep 2017 Thread. Most folks discount the power of broadcast due to streaming and other media. However there is a large population that still relies on their "trusted" local news and Sinclair takes full advantage of it.

To all of us fighting to take back our country. We are fighting a two-front battle in the war of propaganda and misinformation. The cyber war is one front, broadcast (TV) media is the second front in this battle. ( revised and had to redo due to lost posts) Thread 👇 I will start with an important thread by Troll Huntress on the war being waged against us in social media which addresses twitter in particular.
