Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

A Rhode Island Judge Tells Trump "No"

And it's a very important "no"

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.”

Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing?

There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

This is a cover-up‼️

DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses.

“We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

BREAKING: Trump is now attacking paid holidays—saying workers don’t want them and claiming it costs “$BILLIONS.”
From someone whose entire life has been a holiday.

These are J6ers, Proud Boys, 3%ers deputized as bounty hunters by ICE. They are hiding their faces because they are felons.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if there were torrential rains in DC on June 14.
I think I’ll spend the next few days manifesting exactly THAT.
Yep, I’m petty as hell when it comes to DJT.

Didn’t Tim Apple, I mean Tim Cook donate a million dollars to Trump’s inauguration. A million dollars doesn’t buy much these days...does it?

The ONLY upside of Republicans passing this bill is they will assuredly lose the House of Representatives and Trump will be impeached.

Remember the esoteric arguments about emoluments from Trump term 1? With a $400 million plane gifted from a foreign government, the subtlety is gone. And for those comparing the Statue of Liberty, let me know whose presidential library that one is in now.

NO TITLE OF NOBILITY SHALL BE GRANTED BY THE UNITED STATES: AND NO PERSON HOLDING ANY OFFICE OF PROFIT OR TRUST UNDER THEM, SHALL, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE CONGRESS, ACCEPT OF ANY PRESENT, EMOLUMENT, OFFICE, OR TITLE, OF ANY KIND WHATEVER, FROM ANY KING PRINCE. OR FOREIGN STATE.

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION ARTICLE I. SECTION 9, CLAUSE 8

This clause is notable because the current president, having violated in every indirect way available, is now violating it in the open.

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid.

Over a third of all kids have health care thanks to Medicaid.

More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid.

So understand this: when the GOP attacks Medicaid, they attack families in every community.
