Trump, who extorted Ukraine for dirt on Biden, sabotaged the post office to disrupt voting by mail, asked SCOTUS to overturn some state's election results, and demanded red states declare he won anyway, is concerned there was voter fraud in Georgia.

$75 billion for ICE. Clinics closing. Nurses cut. Patients rationing meds. Leader Jeffries is right—taxpayer dollars should make life affordable, not fund brutality and lawlessness. Congress knows the choice. History will remember it. #FundHealthcareOverICE

When a Midwestern city looks like a war zone because the federal government is attacking people indiscriminately in the streets, it's time to act!

From buying whistles to manning a phone bank to showing up for protests, we must take action to resist #ICELawlessness.
