More than 60% of American children were enrolled in CHIP or Medicaid for some part of 2017
The House voted to cut CHIP funding and I would not be surprised to see them cut Medicaid. They’re more concerned about tax cuts for rich people. Sad!
There is no link between immigration and crime
Trump keeps blaming crime on immigrants. He just wants to ramp up the white nationalism in many of his supporters.
This idea has been disproven repeatedly. Here’s the latest:
More from the article: “In general, the study’s data suggests either that immigration has the effect of reducing average crime, or that there is simply no relationship between the two, and that the 54 areas in the study where both grew were instances of coincidence, not cause and effect. This was a consistent pattern in each decade from 1980 to 2016, with immigrant populations and crime failing to grow together. ”

Trump endorses another bigot
Trump has now endorsed Corey Stewart who won the Republican primary for the Senate in Virginia. He’s another extremist like Roy Moore. Like Trump, he thought the bigots in Virginia included good people. Even the Republicans in the Senate are not pushing this guy but Trump is.
The article states: “After the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in August, when one of the participants drove into a crowd and killed a counterprotester, most Virginia politicians specifically condemned the white supremacists and neo-Nazis who had organized and marched in the event. But Mr. Stewart adopted similar language to President Trump, saying that “half the violence” was the fault of the counterprotesters, including “far-left nut cases.”
“People condemned all those far-right agitators, but no one seemed to condemn the left wing,” he told WTOP, a Washington radio station. “Clearly, half of that violence was committed by left-wingers.”
He denounced other Republicans for apologizing and condemning the violence, saying they were playing into liberals’ hands.”
The Trump administration wants to eliminate mandatory coverage for pre-existing conditions
The most popular feature of Obamacare may be requiring insurance companies to offer coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. I’m sure we all have pre-existing conditions or a family member or friend who does. Now the Trump administration wants to eliminate that requirement. They claim it’s unconstitutional.
Here’s a poll that shows how popular it is, even among Republicans:
some tweets:
Republicans are silent
Trump trashes American allies and the only Republican who speaks up is John McCain. They, as well as Trump will be held accountable for the failures of this administration. They spoke up a little against Trump’s tariffs and “spygate” but have been mostly silent on his lies and bigotry. Disgraceful!
update:
There was no massive amount of illegal voting in New Hampshire
I expect Trump to claim there is voter fraud in the 2018 elections, especially in critical states for the House such as Pennsylvania and California.
Trump trade deficit lies and errors
70% of voters think Trump shouldn’t fire Mueller
