The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Democratic leaders have spent a long time crusading against those in their party pushing Medicare for All.
Perhaps the shock of today's horrific health care cuts will make more Dems now realize how counterproductive that crusade has been - and perhaps that can start changing the party's consensus.
