Meanwhile, Lisa, REPUBLICANS found an extra FORTY BILLION to send to Argentina.

Your math sucks.

(Also, not that you care, Lisa, but REAGAN signed the bill that covers emergency medical costs for non-citizens)

Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Justice Kavanaugh says U.S. citizens shouldn’t worry about race-based immigration stops b/c officers “promptly let the individual go.”

But @propublica.org found more than 170 U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents. Some "have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased & shot by immigration agents."

Let’s hear all your stories about seeing prices go down. Come on post them all. Hopefully we won’t break Bluesky with all the examples you’ll be posting… Here’s my example. Last year my Part D deductible was $450. And this coming year my deductible has gone down to $650. Oh… wait… Never mind.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
