In case anyone argues that immigrants get healthcare: emergency Medicaid helps **everyone** based on income level, regardless of immigration status.
Hospitals gets paid back for saving someone’s life - the oath to “do no harm.” When the emergency is over: so is the coverage.

"This is not about Democrats or Republicans ... No one wants a government in which officials accept cash bribes for government action. That is the stuff of banana republics or the type of Beltway swamp that Mr. Trump swore to drain."

Almost like someone had advance notice from inside Trump’s inner circle. Truly the golden age of corruption.

Good morning, Ray! Happy Saturday. May your weekend be filled with the sounds of laughter from all the “left” hoaxes:
- COVID
- Vaccines
- Tylenol
- The Epstein Files
- Russia Gate
- Climate Change
- Autism
- Books

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. The same guy who told you COVID was a hoax just got his updated booster and didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Why not give the Nobel Peace Prize to Dolly? She has been spreading peace and joy for decades. ♥️

So, when I have his WH post, dressed up as a King, with the quote and a big 🚫 they can take my “No Kings” as specific to Trump, pretending to be a king.

On the other side, the emperor’s new robes.

I’ll gladly win my right to protest lawsuit: since we live in a democracy.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.
