The divides among Republicans on this sick budget bill are so deep, & the cuts so politically toxic, that we have a real shot at flipping 4 R votes! Can you volunteer 2 hours June 23-26 to connect at-risk Medicaid recipients directly to their GOP senators? 🔥🔥💙 www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

This overview of border-immigration spending in the Republicans' big giant "fund the Trump agenda" bill will be in tomorrow's Border Update. I think I got the items right—but if you're following this, let me know if I missed anything. It's _so much money_ for border lockdowns and ICE on steroids.

A fascist state looks like a duly elected Senator being manhandled by police for questioning executive abuse of power. Not surprising considering the instigation and escalation of violence we’ve seen from ICE and DHS in Los Angeles. The people deserve better.
