Donald Trump has made roughly $1 BILLION in Crypto-related ventures since his election last November. Seems shady, right? I went from LA to the Bay to ask recovering lawyer @liccardo.house.gov if this sh*t is legal.

Sixty years ago today, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law, transforming health care for millions. Now, Republicans just voted to gut this vital set of health supports in the #OBBB. After six decades of success, we must strengthen these programs—not tear them down.

Our bill will eliminate procedural hurdles to enable communities to build affordable housing faster. Chairman Flood and I will prove that there are bipartisan ways to BUILD America.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 29(source)
