I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year.
All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

WATCH: “A MASTER PLAN”
Usually stoic Kushner silently panics as Witkoff spills the beans on the Trump regime’s war profiteering in Gaza - they’ve been working on for ‘TWO YEARS’🤔
(But don’t worry, apparently $50 Billion is “not a lot of money”! 💰🙃)
PSA: This slip-up should be a big deal.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

We’re back at the Broadview Processing Center protesting ICE this morning.
The good news? They tore down the unlawful fence we demanded come down.
The bad news? We’re still lacking accountability, transparency, and our First Amendment rights.
Join us today at 1930 Beach Street. See you soon.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Why ICE? Why? The cruelty and terror are the point..
ICE smash car window & drag 2 sisters out—in front of elementary school at pick up time.
13 masked agents surround car—while children yelled "It's ICE!" running away in fear.
Both Jocelyn and her sister, who was driving, are DACA recipients—and were released after allowed to prove legal status.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.
