If you’re calling for the arrest or resignation of Tim Walz, you should have no problem doing the same for @SenRickScott (R) who was CEO while his company defrauded taxpayer-funded programs.
Yup, you didn’t know?
Here’s the story:
Rick Scott co-founded and led Columbia/HCA (1987–1997), growing it into America’s largest for-profit hospital chain through aggressive acquisitions.
In 1997, a federal investigation uncovered widespread fraud against Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE—including upcoding, unnecessary tests, false reports, and physician kickbacks. Scott resigned in July 1997 amid the probe and received a large severance package.
The company later pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and paid a then-record $1.7 billion in fines and settlements (2000–2003).
Scott was never charged, denied knowledge of the fraud, and—on advice of counsel—pleaded the Fifth Amendment 75 times in a civil deposition.
25 years ago, Bill Clinton had America on the path to being debt-free by 2010. Bush then got us into two wars and crashed the economy.
Since then, Trump has destroyed the economy twice after Presidents Obama and Biden fixed it.
Want a good economy? Elect Democrats.
In fact, here are some stats Fox News doesn't want you to know:
- 52 million jobs have been created since the Cold War.
- Democratic administrations created 50 million.
- Republican administrations created 1.9 million.
Republican Presidents have 1 thing in common: recession.
This is Mark Walter, owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers. One day after the team blocked ICE from accessing the stadium, the team announced they will be donating $1 million to support immigrant families affected by the Trump Admin.
RETWEET to thank Walter for standing up to Trump!
The Government is shut down for two reasons.
1. Republicans inexplicably want to raise the cost of healthcare for millions of Americans.
2. They are delaying a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
That’s it.
🚨NEW: ABC News President Bob Iger asked hosts of “The View” - including Whoopi Goldberg - to tone down their rhetoric against Donald Trump recently, wanting to avoid attacks from his administration.
RETWEET if you stand with Whoopi against Donald Trump!
Absolutely true. But Trump’s a convicted criminal, and there could have been no doubt he would have no compunction about selling his office. Yet you endorsed him anyway.
Rachel Maddow is spot-fucking-on: After Trump's first 100 days, not only has any doubt been erased that he is a fascist authoritarian dictator-wannabe copying the playbook of the Third Reich, but we've also verified his utter incompetence. Simply put, Trump sucks at EVERYTHING.
Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
