Medicaid is NOT a handout. It’s how 4.8M Texans survive.
Republicans want to cut $715B from it while handing out tax cuts to billionaires.
That’s not “fixing” the budget, it’s disrespect for the people who need it most — and voting for that is un-American, plain and simple.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue:
ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant.
The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge.
This is ridiculous.
