Only the best he said, only the best. Apparently working for Trump ain't what it used to be. Instead the swamp Trump campaigned to drain is multiplying in size with some of the worst people possible.
Former Maine health commissioner and Republican gubernatorial candidate Mary Mayhew has been tapped by the Trump administration to lead Medicaid, the health insurance program that covers more than 70 million low-income Americans.

Trump and the Republicans who surround him are leading our government and country off a cliff. Give corporations and wealthy everything they want from money to eliminated regulations. Take away the hard-fought rights of anyone non-white (or non-male) they can. Hate and stupidity is the only way to conceive of such actions.

A very positive (for now) update to our July 30, 2018 post. A Judge has stepped in to stop evil and ignorant Education Secretary Betsy DeVos from ending a program designed to help student defrauded by for-profit colleges.
An Obama-era rule designed to help students cheated by for-profit colleges get relief on their education debt finally took effect Tuesday after efforts by the Trump administration to block it.

The GOP agenda, in 3 simple steps:
Step 1: Cut taxes on corporations and the rich, increasing deficits
Step 2: Induce panic about high deficits, cut health care spending for the poor and elderly in response
Step 3: Repeat
Tax cuts reduced corporate tax revenue by almost a third even though corporate profits are through the ceiling. If Republicans win, they will push a “grand bargain” - no corporation pays a penny more but Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will be on the chopping block.
WE CAN NOT ALLOW THIS.
