HEALTHCARE OVER BILLIONAIRES. Thanks to everyone who rallied with us + educated our community on what’s going on right now. We have an authoritarian President that shutdown the government in order to take away your healthcare. Why? To give billionaires and mega corporations a massive tax break. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

This is a federal agent pointing a weapon at a person recording them.

ICE has become Trump’s personal military that he is using to terrorize communities and cities that don’t support him. And some say we shouldn’t call him a fascist? Open your eyes.

Democrats are standing up for Americans by demanding Republicans cancel the cuts, lower the costs, and save health care!

The Trump Admin is using the government shutdown to cancel energy funding so that your utility bills go up.

A Trump shutdown completely meant to enrich Billionaires! All at your expense.

My husband has a life threatening disease. We own small businesses and get our insurance on the exchange. I don't know how we'll afford ins. if we lose the subsidy, but my husband can't afford to go without insurance.
The R's talk about supporting 'job creators' but are stripping our heathcare.

The federal government is shut down because Trump & Congressional Republicans want higher healthcare costs for working people, even stripping care from millions.

Why? To give tax giveaways to billionaires, while expanding the fastest growing class in America: the working poor.

Hundreds of people have vanished from ICE's system at the Everglades internment camp. Families don't know where their loved ones are. This isn't deportation, it's kidnapping.

That's why I introduced the SUDEM Act to hold ICE accountable and make this info public.

Maxwell Frost: "To be honest, this is something Trump said he would do. We all knew it during the campaign. He said he would be a 'dictator on day one.' The only thing he lied about is he meant 'I want to be a dictator for the entire term.'"

I’m not an “I told you so” kind of guy. But y’all remember that stupid TikTok ban?

I voted No on that one.

Leavitt on the TikTok deal: "There will be seven seats on the board that controls the app in the US and six of those seats will be Americans. The data and privacy will be led by one of America's greatest tech companies, Oracle, and the algorithm will also be controlled by America as well."

Frost: We need housing not handcuffs. We have a housing crisis in this country. Every time the rent goes up $100, homelessness goes up 9%… We shouldn’t be criminalizing homeless people for the failures of government

Trump said this didn’t exist. Then Speaker Johnson claimed he was an “FBI Informant” on Jeffrey Epstein. It’s all bullshit.

Look at this card… these people are sick. Release the files. Accountability for all involved. Period.

Remember when I told Virginia Foxx the truth about pro-lifers not really being pro-life? She got all offended. Is she that angry about the two children that were shot to death in their classroom today? Will she do something about it?

You know the answer.

These children were probably praying when they were shot to death at catholic school. Don’t give us your fucking thoughts and prayers.

Trump got rid of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Trump gutted the resources that were in place to keep our communities safe.

This is the thing to enable the other thing,

Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant.

They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.
