In a rebuke to the GOP party line, the House of Representatives voted to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium subsidies.
17 Republicans defected to join all Democrats in voting for the legislation, after the end of the subsidies sparked the longest-ever federal government shutdown.

Listened to Noem’s briefing following ICE’s killing a woman in MN.
Absent an investigation, she has determined the woman was a “terrorist” and the ICE officer acted appropriately.
She had as much sympathy for the woman as she did for her dog.
Noem needs to go.
Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out.
If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

A married couple was shot in Portland by federal agents. Early reports indicate the agents involved were US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The individuals were taken to the hospital. The reason shots were fired has not been publicly explained. More details to come as information is confirmed.

House Democrats’ bill to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits has PASSED!
Health care costs have skyrocketed for millions of families and this legislation will help bring costs down.

Last month, House Democrats forced a vote to extend the ACA tax credits for three years—and today, it passed. Millions of families depend on these tax credits to afford healthcare. (1/2)

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is calling for a special session of the state's legislature in April to redraw its congressional maps.
At a news conference Wednesday, DeSantis said the session is aimed at getting out ahead of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that bars discrimination in voting systems.

An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

Minneapolis Mayor says video shows DHS claims of self-defense are “bullshit.” He says ICE created the situation & made it worse. His message to ICE: “Get the fuck out of Minneapolis." He encourages citizens not to take the bait & rise to the occasion. "Let's show them unity."
The truth about this incident will emerge. Plenty of people took video; the shooting will be analyzed. A badge is not a license to shoot. Deadly force can’t be used unless an agent reasonably believes their life/the lives of other are at risk. Law enforcement’s job is to protect & serve.
A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.
ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

Investigating the Nick Shirley Hoax with a force that might be larger than 10,000 total agents across DHS, CBP, FBI et al. and the result is that they haven't made a single arrest over the so-called "fraud" from the YouTube video.
Instead they murdered a US citizen who isn't Somali.
