Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody.
ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial.
Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.

The House did the right thing by extending ACA subsidies and stopping health care costs from exploding for 20 million Americans. The Senate must pass it next.
Short-term relief matters — but long term, we must fix our broken health care system and move toward Medicare for All.
Short-term relief matters — but long term, we must fix our broken health care system and move toward Medicare for All.
Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
House passes bill extending health care subsidies, bucking GOP leaders
Prospects for passage in the Senate are unclear. The enhanced subsidies expired at the end of 2025, driving costs up for millions.

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources.
Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up and reassert its power. No more forever wars.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.
