AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Here's what's happening since the Trump admin pulled funding from attorneys repping unaccompanied children's asylum claims.
I can name several countries with poor human rights records that'd never do anything this absurd, and I'm sure you can too.

Someone should tell RFK Jr that Emily Dickinson is suspected to have been autistic & one of the most prolific poets of all time.
His mischaracterization of autistic people shows him to be hateful, ignorant & uninformed.
More than that, we ALL have value. Evaluating “worth” shouldn’t be a spectrum

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.
Friendly reminder:
Due process is how we can be sure the people Miller and his henchmen are removing are legally subject to removal in the first place.
