“If ICE was a military, it would have the 16th biggest budget in the world. You wanna talk about America First? Think about all the things we could do in this country, like giving a [hurricane] warning system to these folks in rural Texas, instead of plucking brown people out of their homes.”

“Depriving adults and their kids of healthcare and saddling our grandkids with crippling debt is ‘immaterial’ as long as we get to keep kidnapping people with darker skin.”

The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.”
No warrant. No due process. No rights.
Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.
