Watch as this mother from Louisiana is repeatedly punched by ICE "agents".

This disgusting abuse of power by these mentally weak men needs to stop. They need to be incarcerated with the rest of this Nazi criminal regime.

Good lord ...
Diplomatically unprecedented.

You know who has Universal Healthcare provided by the government? Folks in Argentina do and the US taxpayers sent them $40 Billion Dollars so they can keep it. How are your premiums doing?

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

Republicans have had 15 years to fix or replace the ACA.
The truth is: they don’t want to do either. They own the healthcare system and drug industry.
They get paid to keep it broken.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files.

Good luck, asshole.

Virtually all countries have had universal health care for their citizens, as shown below. As a result, most of them have longer life spans, lower infant mortality, and other measures. There's really nothing except stubborn resistance from America's docs & drug makers stopping us.

Average healthcare costs in the US:

Giving birth? $18,000

Cancer treatment? $150,000

One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.

That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.

Cost in Canada? $0.

Cost in the UK? $0.

Cost in Australia? $0.

Totally support this
My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

The president is a person who would be unable to survive in this country if he had to live independently for a day. He wouldn't know what to do at a grocery store. Never mind applying for a job. What good is he to us
