The Community Health Center of the New River Valley provides integrated care under one roof. In a district like ours, people can’t afford to drive all over to get care.This is what healthcare should look like… comprehensive, accessible and centered on people instead of profit.

Look who's introducing El Salvador's Torturer-in-Chief! At the National Prayer Breakfast no less.
Rep. Ben Cline at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We are reminded that leadership is not only about policy and power, but about character, conscience, and the recognition that all authority that all authority is ultimately accountable to God. We are honored to welcome President Bukele."

How can anyone believe Trump’s claims that ICE crackdowns are about crime when ICE is busy detaining preschoolers like Liam? Kids should be in school and safe at home with their families—not in detention centers 1,000 miles from home. It’s cruel.

Abolishing ICE is crucial, but we also need to dismantle the systems that allow such agencies to operate unchecked. It's not just about removing one institution; it's about changing how we treat people at our borders.

If you are as sickened as this by I am, please direct all of your disgust and outrage at Congress - your favorite Democrats included - who should and could be filing and forcing votes on impeachment EVERY SINGLE DAY.

ANYTHING LESS is COMPLICITY. PERIOD. FULL STOP.

ICE OUT = TRUMP OUT
The next witness is Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen and resident of Minneapolis with autism and a traumatic brain injury, who in January was dragged from her car by immigration agents— four blocks away from where George Floyd was killed—then detained without access to medical care or lawyer.

Everyone should call your Senators - especially the Democratic ones. Abolish ICE and CBP!
No, Chuck, we want EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE of their organization prosecuted for their crimes against the American people.

And then the abolition of ICE and dismantling of DHS.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Our senators must hold the line on DHS funding. We cannot settle for empty reforms while ICE and CBP terrorize our communities, violate our constitutional rights, and kill innocent people. Demand that your Democratic senators use their leverage to secure real restrictions on Trump’s secret police.

It's appalling that VA ever left ERIC (b/c of Youngkin & a bunch of tinfoil hat lunatics); it's just as appalling that 17 VA Senate Rs (apparently all tinfoil hat lunatics as well) voted against @scvanvalkenburg.bsky.social's bill to rejoin it bluevirginia.us/2026/01/not-... h/t @vaplan.bsky.social

If you haven't contacted your Senators, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR
As early as tomorrow morning, the Senate could hold its first procedural vote on the DHS funding bill — and it can’t pass without Democratic votes.

Tell your senators to hold the line and vote NO on giving more money to the regime’s death squads.

These people are sadistic. Sadists by definition derive sexual pleasure from hurting others.
Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating.

Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago.

Last I checked covering and hiding a murderer makes you an ACCESSORY to the crime.

Release the identity of the ICE agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and put them on TRIAL…

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.
