Rep. Delia Ramirez is correct. Immigrants generate BILLIONS for our economy! @ramirez.house.gov
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
Please REPOST there are so many Americans that are not aware of these cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It’s so crucial to create as much awareness as possible.🙏
Peter Morley ♿️@petermorley.bsky.social · yesterdayI spoke with @deluzio.house.gov regarding the $1 TRILLION Medicaid & MAJOR SNAP cuts that will begin on January 1, 2027 from the BIG UGLY BILL. His POWERFUL response: "people who are eligible are going to lose out...these cuts will take away healthcare & food from people & we gotta repeal it"!

NEW: Todd Blanche doesn't believe in the rule of law, and John Cornyn and Thom Tillis don't care. Blanche's Sunday night moves should not save his nomination. The reaction from the pair of soon-departing Republican senators is not oversight and not principled. Tonight, at Law Dork:

This marks the 54th death of an immigrant in ICE custody under Trump 2.0. On top of that, another 41 were shot-with 11 more dead-in so-called immigration enforcement actions It’s not an immigration policy. It’s a purge
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2d agoI’m glad that ABC News put “medical emergency“ in quotes, since ICE lies as a matter of policy.

The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.
Todd Blanche's last-minute promise won over Senators Cornyn & Tillis, but shouldn't have. The "deal" leaves Trump's tax immunity intact. It confirms what the Senators should have already known about Blanche's lack of fitness to be AG. My analysis: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
