With the government shut down, Republicans are accusing Democrats of "grinding America to a halt in order to give illegal immigrants free health care.”
But U.S. law already prohibits federally subsidized health care coverage for unauthorized immigrants — dating back to 1996.

GOP misleads with claim that Democrats shut down to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'
U.S. law prohibits federal health care benefits for undocumented immigrants. Democrats want to return benefits for those with lawful presence, like DACA recipients and asylum-seekers.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

"This ain't Liberation Day. It's Recession Day."
The stock market is collapsing, and that means the retirement savings of everyday Americans are disappearing by the hour. This is all because of Trump's reckless mismanagement of the economy. Now, these tariffs that are being imposed will raise the cost of goods for everyday Americans.

Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.
