Republicans would rather shut down the government than protect the Affordable Care Act. A shutdown puts ACA tax credits at risk—and in Texas, premiums could jump 289%, costing families $459 more each year. (1/2)

Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet.

This isn’t Moscow or Beijing. It’s Chicago. Masked federal agents grabbed U.S. citizens protesting ICE and threw them into an unmarked van.
“Who are you? Where are you taking them?” people shouted. “You are kidnapping them!”
What has America become?

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.
And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
“By shutting down the Foreign Malign Influence Center, Gabbard stripped away America’s shield against foreign meddling.
Moscow and Beijing couldn’t ask for a bigger gift.”

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela?
The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships.
But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.
