Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

This is not a fight about tax credits.
This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

Today is the day I decorated my Halloween twigs (freshly snapped from the storm)! I also made a banana malt loaf - banana bread with half a cup of Ovaltine in the mix. The cosiest of cakes.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”
