The current affordability crisis is not an accident or a natural economic cycle. It is the direct result of specific policies enacted by Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress. Their choices made your life more expensive. #TrumpflationSucks

Hell yes, Ford has reinstated TJ Sabula, the worker who yelled out “pedophile protector” at the orange felon, back to his original post and will not face any disciplinary action nor have it on his record thanks to the tireless support of the UAW. Love this. 💙👊

Trump and MAGA Republican’s Big, Ugly Bill more than tripled ICE funding while slashing $1 trillion dollars from Medicaid. Now this roving caravan of lawless thugs are terrorizing our cities. Congress needs to #FundHealthcareOverICE and do away with whatever this is. Watch👇👇

They told us there was no money for healthcare.
No money for kids.
No money for families drowning in medical bills.
But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty.
That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem.
Fund care, not punishment.

Republicans in Congress want more blood on the streets and less healthcare for Americans because that is how their big donors get paid, whether it's private prison companies getting rich or the billionaires and their big tax cuts.
Either way, you die.

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

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Trump's Violent Assault on Minnesota Is an Operation in 'Reflexive Control'

Where does ICE think they're deporting tribe members back to?
They are the Native Americans.
ICE is probably all immigrants.

The Republican agenda:
Terminate the tax credits that make healthcare affordable, creating panic as premiums double. Simultaneously, increase the budget for ICE's violent, often illegal, home invasion tactics.

When Republicans STRIPPED YOU OF HEALTH INSURANCE to fund a big tax cut for billionaires, that's not completely all of what they spent the money on doing.
Trump and his allies gave ICE a whopping $85 BILLION.
It is the highest-funded US agency now.
