Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

No one should be allowed to put kids through something like this, abandoning them after taking their parent. That trauma will affect them the rest of their lives :/
A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind.
“They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.”

Which states could lose the most from Medicaid cuts floated by the GOP?
South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee – all Trump states.
Republicans seem perfectly happy throwing their own constituents under the bus to dole out tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations.
