FOX: The ACA has never been more popular. Republicans are losing on this messaging. How do you talk to Americans who say the Republicans don't have a plan?
REP. BUDDY CARTER: You explain it by explaining it's not working. When the govt has to subsidize a program, that means it's not working

note that this completely inverts the public justification for the deportation scheme. they claim they’re deporting criminals, but they deported Kilmar without knowledge of a crime, and now that they supposedly found one they’re bringing him BACK.
🚨🚨🚨 Kilmar Abrego Garcia is on his way back to the U.S. from El Salvador to face criminal charges.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

"The purging underway suggests that the agency is not just seeking to eliminate DEI but also to remove people who have expressed interest or participated in programs related to it."
First it's your actions, then it's your intentions, and then it'll be your literal existence in this space. Ugh 😡

Ignore Trumps threats to take over Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. It's a way to distract from his actions of nominating unqualified sycophants for his cabinet and trying to avoid any accountability for NY and federal crimes.
