Following the Trump Administration’s pause on Medicaid funds in the state of California fraud concerns, government watchdogs are saying that Medicaid in the state has become “fiscally unsustainable.”

Democrats are doing everything possible to invite fraud in our elections. While Tennessee leads the nation in election integrity measures, 14 states, including California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Minnesota, do not require any ID to vote.

The only way to bring down the cost of a new home is to increase our housing supply.
