True!
Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.

They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.

Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.
Uh oh. We're watching.. hope her campaign keeps us posted of any more funny business
The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.
Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.

So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

There's a diff between protecting our borders and this abuse of people.
Fix the system! Respect due process!

Congratulations, Mr King!
The visibility and inclusivity brought by shows like 'Will&Grace' and 'SATC' are immeasurable.

'Modern Family' and 'Schitts Creek' are on that list for me also.
No amount of evidence is enough when dealing with lucrative illogical reasoning.

Ofcourse, they're safe.

We do need H1B reform to make sure companies don’t abuse H1B to undercut American labor and to stop exploitation of H1B workers by letting workers quit jobs without losing their visa.

This won’t do either of those. What this will do is create chaos for employees and employers.
85%of parents were already doing separate vaccines for the first round. So basically another of their 'invented problems to "solve" to create mistust and confusion. A non-issue blown out of proportion for headlines. 🙄🤔 correct?

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.
Ofcourse! Why would they? To see what, Chaos?

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."
Right back at ya!
So Trump and Republicans are going to stop calling Democrats radical left marxists who hate God, are anti-christian, hate America, steal elections, want to replace Americans with criminal migrants, and want to kill babies? When is that going to stop? bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mike Johnson: "People have got to stop framing simple policy disagreements in terms of existential threats to our democracy. You can't call the other side fascists and enemies of the state and not understand that there are some deranged people in our society who will take that as cues to act."

Well he (Cassidy) voted for this. Now he must live with the consequences.
Thank you for your analysis. I had heard of their obsession with this study a few days ago , so after reading the study design and results, I had similar conclusions. All this garbage is Exhausting!
