MAGA is Ruining America

Juan Ciscomani Voted for the Law That Has Knocked 400,000 Arizonans Off Food Assistance. When a Tucson Mom Told Him It Was Hurting People Like Her, He Said 'No, What It Did Is–' as the Elevator Doors Closed.

Angelica Garcia, a single mother in Tucson, was kept off SNAP for two months while Arizona rewrote the program to comply with Trump's budget bill. Ciscomani signed a letter urging House leaders to keep SNAP protected, listed it as a first-100-days accomplishment, then voted for the bill — and never mentioned food assistance in either statement he put out about it. More than 400,000 Arizonans have lost benefits since.

Andy Biggs Wrote a Bill to Abolish Arizona's Medicaid Program. His Plan Wouldn't Even Fully Cover the Disabled: 'You Can't Even Cover Them.'

In 2011, state Sen. Andy Biggs sponsored SB 1519 to end AHCCCS, the program covering nearly 1.4 million Arizonans. His replacement wouldn't have fully covered the roughly 100,000 people with severe mental illness and disabilities who relied on it — on purpose, he said, because covering them meant no savings. Now he wants to be governor.

Mike Rogers Said You 'Have to Protect' People Who Flew With Epstein. Seven Donors Named in the Epstein Files Have Put More Than $4.6 Million Behind Him.

Michigan's Republican Senate nominee argued that people named in the Epstein files need protecting if there's no evidence of a crime. FEC records show seven of them have given more than $4.6 million to his campaign, his committees and the super PAC backing him — $4.5 million of it from Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman.
