Still time to write to your Senators (and get your friends to do the same). Casey Means is a charlatan with dangerous views on contraception, raw milk, vaccines and has a whole lot of conflict of interest--she's making money off it all. Just say no to the quack. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

Health care fraudster Philip Esformes is latest Trump clemency recipient to be arrested Philip Esformes is among several people granted clemency by then-President Donald Trump who have since been charged with new crimes.

Trump commuted the sentence of a convicted healthcare fraudster who was serving 20 years for a $1.3 billion Medicare fraud scheme, one of the largest in U.S. history, and that person has since been arrested again on new criminal charges.
