FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'

This is false. Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package.

He finally got the election-denying MAGA A.G. he always dreamed of. Bondi was openly partisan, scornful & highly combative, her non-answers dripping with disdain. Very telling when she was asked if she'd seen the photos of her boss "with half-naked young women." PATHETIC

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Nice to see Sen. Gallego and Kelly going to bat for Adelita Grijalva, as they and everyone else should be.
Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Thread. Hi @govstitt. I'm an elected official from Canada - kind is the equivalent of an American Congressional rep.
However, I have have a big problem that only you can solve. It's close to my heart, and is causing me no end of anxiety, and it's related to COVID-19.

You are automatically a Canadian citizen because you are born here

Politicians who want to stop birthright citizenship want to end that

You would only be able to be Canadian is your parents are Canadian

IMO, it's another way to enforce racism

By pushing this pie-in-the-sky pipeline proposal Smith has delivered a catch 22 situation to Eby & Carney
If it happens that's great for Smith
If it doesn't happen, which it won't, she can blame Carney & Eby for the failure
& she will push her Canada-hates-Alberta crap to her base

The Alberta UCP never campaigned on denying health care for trans youth. Doctors warn these laws will drive up depression and suicide. Now they’re hiding behind the notwithstanding clause.

No mandate.

Predictable harm.

Extraordinary abuse of power.

When Ralph Klein was leader at a Conservative Party convention 85% of members voted against funding private schools. Yet they kept increasing funding. This referendum could actually succeed.

This "Eby goes off the rails" statement is wild

He sounded frustrated to me

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools.

Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd
