ICE not only manhandled and terrorized a 10th grader who is an American citizen, they stole his phone. And then they sold it.

I repeat, they stole his phone, and then they sold it.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

(🚨) The illegal war in Venezuela isn’t just about stealing oil—though that’s part of it. It’s not just Trump wanting to kill anyone who defies him—though it’s that, too. It’s Trump falsely thinking Venezuela stole the 2020 election.

This was *vengeance*.

If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.
 
Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.
 
All thanks to Republican inaction.

1/ I'm sure you've heard by now, but on Friday, about 1,300 CDC employees, including top scientists & vaccine experts, were abruptly fired.

In a stunning reversal the next day, hundreds were then reinstated. We're not sure why the administration reversed course, but the damage has still been done.
