While we’re waiting for Republicans to unveil their healthcare plan, remember this:
Health insurance didn’t start as a corporate cash grab. Before the ‘70s, giants like Blue Cross & Blue Shield were nonprofits. Then the 1973 HMO Act, signed by President Nixon, turbocharged for-profit healthcare

What? Why? Who does this help?
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

#ProudBlue Minneapolis is a war zone. DHS/ICE/CBP are relentlessly attacking American citizens fighting to protect their rights & their neighbors.
It's 10am in Minneapolis and rapid response is underwater, reports of chemicals deployed already.
As others have pointed out, the ratio of feds (with more arriving) to residents and square mileage here is extreme compared to what we experienced in Chicago.

When the NSDAP came to power, Germany experienced the greatest volume of capital flight in its history. Since Trump returned to power one year ago, the US has seen the heaviest volume of capital flight in its history. Now Bessent is concocting crazy measures to stem it.
Bessent: "For individuals who want to wire money out of the country, they're gonna have to tick a box whether they are or are not on public assistance. Then we're going to start pushing over the coming days and weeks that if you're on public assistance, you cannot wire money out of the country."

They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law.
The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.
