The Trump regime has fired an estimated 70 immigration judges since February. Nearly half previously defended immigrants in court.
Remember: it was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

While Trump has another lavish gathering at his FLA club - seafood buffets and ice sculptures - our military families stand in food lines. Completely depraved.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

Everyone needs to REFRESH and REPEAT to others the critical provisions of he ACA that are protecting EVERY AMERICAN right now, regardless of waht policy you have. No discrimination for pre-existing conditions, lifetime/annual caps; no recessions; no denying maternity care. Preventive care required.

McGovern: Republicans are literally subsidizing an entirely different country instead of keeping families in North Carolina or Minnesota or Texas or Indiana from going bankrupt if they face emergency hospital bills.

Thank you Rep @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social for standing strong for our healthcare!! Please, no vote on CR...
A bill that doesn’t address the health care crisis is a complete nonstarter.
If this gets through the Senate, I’m a NO.

GOP has no plan; never have. GOP wants to throw trash provisions out there to vote on piece meal to pretend they care about healthcare-they know they are losing. Desperation. DO NOT BE FOOLED. They want 'high risk pools' again. This means stripping away protections for PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. NO!

They don't have a plan; they never had a plan. Why? THEY DO NOT CARE. That simple; they honestly do not care if every day people can afford healthcare. Now, GOP electeds are talking about 'high risk pools' again. MEANS allowing people to be denied insurance due to PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS again. NO!

Trump & his incompetent, lying cabinet think they can just SAY INFLATION IS DOWN and no one will question them. No, it's been increasing for 5 months. That does not EQUAL 'way down'. Lying liars betraying the public. They work for us; hold them accountable.
HASSETT: We're comfortable that inflation has come way down
QUINTANILLA: Even though it's been increasing for 5 straight months?

EIGHT WEEKS OF VACATION -did NOTHING. Didn't work on appropriations bills that would have eliminated need for a CR completely. They proved they don't care if people eat; don't care if workers get paid; don't care if people can afford healthcare. REMEMBER: CR crashed due to their FAILIURE TO GOVERN.

Trump & GOP proved they DO NOT CARE about real people in our nation. They DO NOT CARE if people can afford healthcare.

Trump regime now lying to Supreme Court about $ impact if they find that tariffs were illegal & must be repaid. This, after they successfully argued to get the lower court ruling stayed by stipulating they would be able to refund any tariff revenue. Grift & lawlessness every day. They are losing.

Must read. GOP no interest in making healthcare affordable. Democrats DO. Trump makes clear has no idea how health care works. Clear doesn’t even understand why healthcare relies on insurance, why we can’t pay medical expenses out of pocket. No one (except uber wealthy) can cover medical crisis.

Back in 2022, I was minding my own business, being pretty darn healthy, when all of a sudden I had to be rushed to the hospital for a very scary event (and is now a manageable condition). Here was ONE of my bills. I could not have afforded this under any circumstances without insurance.
