I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

How do Republicans propose we help middle class families living paycheck to paycheck?
🏥 Slash health care
🍎 Threaten critical SNAP benefits
💰 Give tax breaks to billionaires
This new budget is an undeniable betrayal to families we should be fighting to support.

You can't just fire everyone, gut critical agencies, halt funding to organizations across the country and think there won’t be massive consequences.
