Prolife Republicans want women to be pregnant, not work, and not vote. Prolife Democrats want children to be loved, educated, and fed. And not raped by a guy Republicans elected president.

"Chicago isn't licking boots!

No hate no fear. Immigrants are welcome here. All power to the people.

No human is illegal.
No raids. No deportation. Down with the occupation!"

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

If only trump was held to the same high standard: “Public office is a public trust, not a personal privilege,” said Attorney General Hanaway. “When an elected official abuses authority, neglects legal duties, and exploits taxpayer resources for personal gain, the rule of law requires accountability.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Ann Wagner is jubilant about taking your healthcare and is protecting a child trafficking and pedophile cabal. Are you done yet?

If feel frustrated and hopeless call you Congressional Rep and Senators and tell them you support the current ACA. Millions will lose their healthcare due to the Republican changes.

Congress should not get paid or have health insurance if our troops do not get paid and we lose our health insurance.

Missing this one pay date may be too much for Trump, Congress to prolong the government shutdown

While the sides have dug in their heels regarding the budget, missing a pay period for the military may not be seen as worth the fallout.

The type of regime that uses military-style raids to tear children out of bed in the middle of the night is an authoritarian one. This is a manufactured crisis and an escalation in force and violence that is traumatizing families. Terrifying scenes in Chicago due to ICE.

'Military-Style' ICE Raid In Chicago Shows Escalation in Tactics

Witnesses said children were taken from their homes unclothed and separated from their parents during the raid.

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

Stephen Miller: "The Black people in Chicago are thrilled that we're getting the illegal aliens out of their communities who are stealing their housing, jobs, and resources."
