Just a surveillance machine waiting to be weaponized.
They claim it’s about “efficiency” and tracking immigrants. It’s about control.

Every single republican congressperson in Michigan just voted to cut $880 Billion from Medicaid in the budget they just passed.
That is the entire Medicaid budget. And they cheered.
This Trump budget also extends his 2017 tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires.

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too.
Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.
This is insane!

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.
