Democratic House Rep. Sylvester Turner from Texas died last night at age 70.

His last words to his constituents were "don’t mess with Medicaid.”

“There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all.

This President is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders.

At some point, we’re all going to have to stand up.”

- Rep. @algreen.house.gov, after being removed from the House chamber, 3/4/25

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.

— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country
