Senate Republicans are working furiously tonight and over the weekend to gut Medicaid and kick millions of Americans off their health care — all to help pay for tax cuts for billionaires. We are doing all we can to STOP this abomination of a bill.

Federal agents used explosives to enter a U.S. citizen’s home and entered — guns drawn — on a baby, a 6-year-old, and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend attended an ICE protest where he accidentally hit a cop car (and was released by cops). www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/h...

Every word of this is depraved beyond belief. ICE abducted a six year old with leukemia, threatened him with a gun such that he wet himself, and has denied him medical treatment. I don’t know what to say. www.tpr.org/border-immig...

People are rightly responding to this story with shock and outrage. But it's been a widely known fact for months, and I only wish more people would listen to the civilians in Gaza when they tell us what's happening to them, and what they need, and not assume they're all Hamas or scamming imposters.

ICE handcuff U.S. citizen—arrest him in the middle of having a severe seizure. "Tell them I'm a U.S. citizen," he begs the man recording video—gasping for air. Agents then roll him over onto his back—this is very dangerous! This increases risk of suffocation—you should place them on their side.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
