Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

"This guy is a convicted felon. I mean think about that – who's threatening to jail me... This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

“We all swore an oath to the Constitution, and I am honestly scared… he’s going through with these authoritarian actions.”

It’s political terrorism on Americans.
And too many Republicans are enabling it.

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

We would then eliminate the insurance companies saving everyone billions of dollars. No more Ho Fund me's.
I also asked them to tell you to be louder about the militarization of our cities and the disappearing of our family, friends and neighbors with ICE.

I was at the Roseville office yesterday and met with two of your staff members. Very professional young men. I told them
This is the perfect time to talk about Single Payer health care by using the tax subsidies we pay to insurance companies and instead use that money to just pay for everyone.

Let's use those tax subsidies to just pay for everyone to have health care cutting out the insurance companies and everyone wins healthcare.

We should use those tax subsidies to just pay for everyone to have health care and no more big bucks to insurance companies.

Yesterday on CNN Stephen Miller said Trump has plenary authority. If you watch the video, you can tell it was a slip of the tongue — he instantly froze up after realizing he’d said the quiet part out loud.

Just to be clear, Trump does not have plenary power — yet.

We all pay twice for health insurance. Once in premiums second in tax subsidies. Then those CEO's use their big money to donate to legislators campaigns to keep those tax subsidies flowing. We need Universal Single Payer Health Care.

We already pay twice for health care. Once with premiums, second with tax subsidies. This is so those CEO's can make the big bucks. Then they use that money to lobby Amy with campaign donations so she keeps voting to subsidize the insurance companies. We need M4A.

Thank you but we need to push on beyond the ACA. Won’t it be great if we had a health care system where everyone could be covered and not have to worry about going broke because you become ill? You know, like the rest of the civilized world. We have way too many spaghetti benefit dinners.
