What would repealing the Affordable Care Act without more than a concept of a plan look like?

Before the ACA became law in 2010, insurance was expensive and often hard to obtain. Most policies didn’t cover pre-existing conditions.

Ágnes Keleti was born in 1921 in Budapest to a Jewish family. She would become the most decorated Jewish Olympian in history. But the story of how she got there runs through exclusion, war, survival, and a delayed beginning that most athletes would never overcome.

Today in history, 1945: The Alaskan Territorial Legislature passes the Anti-Discrimination Act banning racial segregation in public accommodations. It was the first such law in the U.S., passed 14 years before Alaska statehood and 19 years before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. /1

Please, contact your senators, Dems and Reps, and ask them to rein in ice.
Masked federal agents are killing Americans in the street and terrorizing our communities.

Enough.

I voted NO on bankrolling ICE's terror.

And I introduced a bill that'll create the toughest independent watchdog to rein in ICE and stop the violence.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons to introduce bill aimed at strengthening oversight of ICE and CBP
Amid negotiations with the White House, the pair of Democrats is pitching the bill as an enforcement mechanism to go alongside the changes they're seeking.

Ben Helfgott survived multiple Nazi concentration camps, including Buchenwald, Schlieben, and Theresienstadt. He lost most of his family but emerged alive at 15. Against unimaginable odds, he rebuilt his life and became an Olympic weightlifter.

Exactly! It's literally the only message that wins across the board right now. Even if we were able to retake both chambers in November, we can not "Abolish ICE." We won't have veto-proof majorities. It's a stupid slogan that will lose elections.
