WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families.

Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

So now vets are homeless because undocumented folks are taking resources.
Trump: "We will not stop until we've ended the tragedy of homeless veterans once and for all. I'd see in New York where people that came into our country illegally would be put up in hotels and veterans would be sitting on the sidewalk. Many of the people that came in were put in from prisons."

The “deal” negotiated in the Senate puts a vote on healthcare AFTER the open enrollment deadline to be covered in January. This is NOT a good deal and should absolutely not pass the House.

The owners of Carniceria Y Taqueria Aguascalientes in Little Village confronted Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino and masked Goons. The cashier instructed the agents to leave, while the father confronted Bovino outside, demanding that the agent remove themselves from their property.

Of course ICE is stealing.

So when protesting, take a state ID w/a pic that you can replace outside the federal gov’t. And no irreplaceable valuables.

Since it’s easier to stop and recoup charges on a credit card. Consider carrying that rather than debit.

ICE is keeping folks' jewelry, passports, valuables. What you need to know.

What do you think about children being detained by Trump in facilities where they have to fight for clean drinking water?

Where the water is cloudy, smells & upsets stomachs & the soap for showers causes rashes & they have to sleep on concrete floors?

So the Dem #CaveCaucus aren't even getting a real vote out of their surrender:
♦️Without a House vote, any Senate vote is meaningless.
♦️And without at least 4 GOP crossovers, a Senate vote is meaningless too.
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?

MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota
