Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Why did six House Republicans who promised to oppose Medicaid cuts vote for the "big beautiful bill"?
It could be because the bill now contains an expanded "pass-through" tax deduction that would personally benefit them.

Remember these names 👇
Last night, 16 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance a crypto-friendly bill that will enable Trump’s corruption.
Instead of standing up to Trump, these 16 Democrats decided they’d rather do a big favor for the crypto industry and legitimize an avenue for Trump to collect bribes.

There’s a part in the reconciliation bill that not only gives tax cuts to the wealthy, but a tiny clause jammed into the bill that stipulates that there is to be no laws passed for regulating AI for 10 years! Call your reps now to tell them Hell No on this! 202-224-3121!

-A 10-year ban on state AI regulations
-A "nonprofit killer" clause that would stifle dissent
-Selling off public lands to Big Oil
It's not just healthcare/food assistance cuts for the poor and tax breaks for the rich in the GOP's "big, beautiful bill."
It's much worse.
