Affordable Care Act premiums will rise 75% next year because Republicans killed the tax credits in their budget. Millions (including many in red states) could lose coverage entirely. When this happens later this year, remember who caused it. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows
A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.

This is bullshit.

Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping.

Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel.

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

BREAKING: House Republicans passed Trump’s deadly & dangerous budget bill.

Over 17 million Americans will lose health care. Millions more will struggle to put food on the table.

The ultra-wealthy are the only winners in this budget.

It's a dark day in America.

Arendt says you know you're in a police state if facing criminal charges makes you safer. "Only as an offender against the law can he gain protection from it. As long as his trial and his sentence last, he will be safe from that arbitrary police rule against which there are no lawyers & no appeals."

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.
Monstrous:

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?

Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.

She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.

Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking.

I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

My heart is breaking in ways I didn’t know were possible—but I’m holding onto outrage.

Two U.S. teens were dragged from their home in SoCal as federal agents shattered windows, hurled flashbangs, & took their parents.

This is cruelty. This is terrorism. And it’s happening on our soil. F*ck ICE.
