🚨U.S. law already prohibits unauthorized immigrants from gaining any federally subsidized health care coverage — through Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or otherwise.

GOP misleads with claim that Democrats shut down to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'

U.S. law prohibits federal health care benefits for undocumented immigrants. Democrats want to return benefits for those with lawful presence, like DACA recipients and asylum-seekers.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

People seem convinced that there is a plan to reinstitute the draft and I think they should take a minute and think of how the entire country went batshit insane over being asked to wear little fabric masks in public for a while

The implications of this are horrific. Evidently the dossier includes tech which can bust Signal, use phone cameras and speakers for surveillance - and we all know the MAGA regime would never hesitate to spy on, say, Democratic Presidential candidates or their senior staff.
