This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.
But consider this...
Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.
Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

American citizens are far more afraid of the so-called "law enforcement" agencies than the "terrorists" they claim to be going after.
Don't you dare say, "This is no longer the United States." The f*ck it isn't. There are tens of millions of Americans who claim they are sick of this BS.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital.
“He has Constitutional rights.”
“No.”
ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

I just signed legislation allowing the 800,000 rideshare workers in California to unionize.
California is determined to give working people a voice, to give them choice, give them dignity, and give them a say about their future.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
