Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Marco Rubio’s grandfather was detained and ordered deported in 1962 after reentering the U.S. without a visa. He was paroled, but with no records until 1966, it appears he lived here undocumented until gaining legal status under the Cuban Adjustment Act 1966/67.

Cutting SNAP means kids, veterans, and seniors will go hungry. It will hit our farmers when they are down, cause grocery stores to close, and leave states with less $ for services. We should be making people’s lives better—not causing suffering so billionaires get a tax break.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust.
Once they’re sold, they’re stripped, drilled, mined, and wrecked. And most of that damage can’t be undone.

And yet, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid are entitlements causing the ruination of our country?
They've meddled with our minds, believing that the rich aren't the problem. But they are! They control every aspect of our lives from wages, health insurance, housing, food. It's always been them

We need to understand what this Republican budget would mean in our everyday lives. No rehab, no nursing home care & 50% of all births would be uninsured.
What are they using this $880Billion Medicaid cut money for? To give more tax cuts to a bunch of billionaires.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

Ted Cruz Turns on Trump Over Tariff ‘Bloodbath’
Republicans are starting to back away from the president after major fallout from his new tariffs. MAGA favorite Ted Cruz over the weekend spoke out about the devastating effects of Donald Trump’s disruptive economic policies, predicting a “bloodbath” in next year’s midterms if the current market collapse worsens. “If he leaves them in place and we just have constant tariffs, that is a massive tax increase on the American people,” Cruz dished on his podcast, Verdict. “I worry there are voices wi
