He should be deported.

Hey, that's how ICE decides who to deport. They don't check facts first.

We need to keep up the pressure — it's WORKING!

Republicans are worried that the people are rising up against their crusade to strip Medicaid to fund tax breaks for their billionaire friends.

Republicans need to decide:  whose side are they on?

Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.

My mom was a Depression baby, and we were poor, so I remember this. It's a useful mindset. Time to bring it back.

You sentenced people who committed no other crime than wanting to live near you and enjoy our freedoms to death in hard labor camps. That's what happened to them when you deported them.
UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

A rare statement from Justice Roberts in response to Trump's post this morning:

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

Know your GOP lies. One GOP talking point on the budget: “the word ‘Medicaid’ isn’t in the bill.” True—but the bill directs the committee overseeing Medicaid to cut an amount impossible to hit WITHOUT cutting Medicaid. They are lying. Again.
