Even as ICE receives $170B in new funding, it has stopped paying for medical care for detainees β including life-saving medications, dialysis, and chemotherapy treatments.
Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions.
Cruelty on steroids.
Trump demands $230M from the DOJ for his legal fees. GOP senators say they just heard about it, leaving the country to wonder: who the f-ck is actually in charge?

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"
Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During todayβs pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Insurance premiums are set to skyrocket for Minnesotans and families across the country unless Congressional Republicans work with us to extend the health care tax credits.
Open enrollment starts in just 11 days on November 1. This is a *now* problem.

If this gets through, we're all on that list. And then there's no fleeing anything.

Weβve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and itβs being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isnβt even nihilism, itβs outright worship of death and human suffering.

This three-century-old vampire/44-year-old man is gonna be confirmed as a lifelong judge in spite of an entire whistleblower convention all coming forward together to offer evidence of his bullshit
The heart and brain of EPA - its research office - has been dismantled. Policy now outranks evidence. Hundreds of scientists silenced while industry lobbyists cheer.
And the #EPA139 who spoke out still on admin leave.

Germany gave people β¬1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
Turns out, when people arenβt drowning, they swim further.
#UBI doesnβt kill ambition, it frees it.
Last night, Republicans lined up to vote against releasing the Epstein files.
They'll pick protecting Trump over serving the American people.
Every. Single. Time.
Democracies use government as an instrument for the common good. Using a tax bill to destroy and deny health care for 17 million of our people is a sign of authoritarianism.
Tl;dr: 250,000 more Minnesotans at risk of devastating medical bills, higher energy prices, rural hospital closures, and longer ambulance wait times.
None of this is worth a tax cut for billionaires. Congress needs to reject this bill.
Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, βMark, keep speaking up, youβre our conscience.β
I donβt want to be their damn conscience.
I want them to vote their conscience.
Senate Republicans have lost their spinesβall they do is bow down to Donald Trump and his billionaire donors.
They know this bill will kill people. And they just look the other way.
News today shows that despite a court ruling that accuse NIH grants cannot be terminated based on words deemed inappropriate by the new administration/DOGE, NIH continue to screen grants in such a way
Bleak.
The White House says voting against this bill is a betrayal of the President.
But voting for it is actually a betrayal of hardworking Americans who need access to health care and grocery stores in rural communities.
Who are they going to put first? The choice should be easy.
If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?
"Iβm sorry that youβre living in a world on fire, and that the forces around you, especially government forces around you, are arrayed against you.

I just put up an amendment to the Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill that says something simple:
If people's healthcare costs go up, the billionaire tax cuts vanish.
The Republicans tried to shout me down.
And then they voted it down.
The American people will not forget.
Notice the pattern? Republicans work to advance their worst bills in the middle of the nightβhoping youβre asleep while they attack your healthcare, your rights, and your future.
