Well-known internet personality Robby Roadsteamer makes fun of ICE and calls them Nazis. They prove his point & come out to arrest him for trespassing after shoving him over the property line.

Just like Russia, if you protest the regime, men with guns come to take you away.

Republicans are cutting Medicare by $500 billion.

They're doubling and tripling health premiums.

And now, they want to hike the retirement age: "62 is the new 42."

Our seniors shouldn't have to work into their 80s to pay for billionaires' tax cuts.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

Correct, the Congressional Democratic position should be that the purported president of the United States is levying war against them and must be immediately removed from power and tried for treason. They certainly aren't going to vote to appropriate funds for his treason.
