Wild how the so-called "America First" president found money for a $20 billion bailout to Argentina…

But somehow we can't afford to help Americans keep their healthcare.

Reporter: Trump is hosting Argentina's president on the heels of a controversial $20 billion bailout. American soybean farmers have struggled ever since the administration kicked off its trade wars. Soybeans are tied to this because China has been buying more soybeans from Argentina than US farmers

"Cosplay Karen" Noem can whine about this shutdown being the Democrats' fault, but we know the truth. Republicans control Congress ＆ they let this happen to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files.

The past nine months have been filled with lies and broken promises from Republicans.

But here’s the truth: Republicans don’t want to fix health care. They want to continue kicking millions of Americans off health care so they can give more tax breaks to billionaires.

Yes to going on the offense. Too bad it takes so long though.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

Rep. Maxwell Frost: Donald Trump shut down the government because he’d rather do that than make sure people can actually afford health care. He wants people to pay more for it because that frees up money in the federal budget to give billionaires another tax break. That’s what’s happening.

It is alarming that the Trump Admin & rogue ICE agents would abduct a 13-year-old child from Everett, transport him to a facility over 500 miles away & reportedly subject him to harrowing conditions.

They must stop violating our constitutional rights.

My full statement:

A graphic that reads:

“It is absolutely alarming that the Trump Administration and its rogue ICE agents would abduct a 13-year-old child, transport him to a facility over 500 miles away without his family, lawyer or a court knowing, and reportedly subject him to harrowing, inhumane conditions, including inadequate nutrition and sleeping on a concrete floor with an aluminum blanket while still healing from a broken foot.

“He is a 7th-grader who should have been met with compassion and care, not criminalized and sent to an adult prison.

“The Trump Administration must stop violating the constitutional rights of our constituents. I join the chorus of community voices demanding basic adherence to due process, preservation of this child’s constitutional rights, and his immediate return to his family.”

Democrats are ready to stop the price of your health care insurance from skyrocketing and reopen the government. But Senate Republicans refuse to hold a vote to lower health care costs–the House GOP isn’t even showing up to work.

They need to get serious and come to the negotiating table.

Despite huge advancements in technology & worker productivity since the 1970s, wages for American workers have remained stagnant and almost all new wealth has gone to the people on top.

Will it be any different with AI and robotics?

I don’t think so. Maybe even worse.
