“We see efforts to intimidate journalists to discredit legitimate reporting and to replace evidence with conspiracy. That is not accidental; it is strategy. Those who fear transparency and accountability fear the press.”

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

$75 billion for ICE. Clinics closing. Nurses cut. Patients rationing meds. Leader Jeffries is right—taxpayer dollars should make life affordable, not fund brutality and lawlessness. Congress knows the choice. History will remember it. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Trump and Washington Republicans are pouring roughly $30 billion in extra funding into ICE.
That same money could extend ACA tax credits and keep millions of Americans insured.
They chose deportation raids over doctor visits.
Cruelty over care.
It’s reprehensible.

This looks like a war zone because Congress keeps funding one.
Militarized policing, tear gas, raids—while hospitals close and people ration insulin.
Today’s House vote is a choice between lethal force and lifesaving care.
We could fund healing instead of harm.
