Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Thank you to all of the people standing up for others and for our democracy even when it’s uncomfortable and risky. ❤️
Government sanctioned bullying and kidnapping are not masculine, not patriotic, and not Christian behaviors. They are criminal and cowardly. Courage. Getcha some.

Your health care bill is about to explode.

The notices will start arriving next month.

A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000.

Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up.

We need to fix this. Now.

Just putting this perspective up here:

Disney lost between $3.5-4bn this past week.

That is enough money to fund NEH at current levels for almost 17 years.

One company lost this much in less than 7 days.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

From me for @rollingstone.com:

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

Hi Annette. My voice IS authentic. It’s not a put-on. It’s sounded this way my whole life. I CAN do accents and impersonations pretty well, but that’s acting. I’m not for everyone.✌🏼
