RIP Alex Pretti,
He was my Dad’s ICU nurse. He read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video, but his speech is very on point.

#ICE is attacking and killing U.S. citizens, kidnapping 5-year-olds and using them as bait to open doors, and violating constitutional rights by busting into homes without cause.
Enough is enough. They deserve to be defunded.
Call your Senators and make sure they vote this week to defund ICE.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

New, from me: Trump is prioritizing paying the armed forces over other federal employees during a shutdown. He is trying to win over the rank and file even as he tells military leaders to target “the enemy within.” 🧵

Trump’s latest target? The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of America’s last truly wild places. His administration just announced plans to open it up for oil and gas drilling, turning 1.56 million acres of pristine wilderness (home to polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds)

The government ignored his protective legal status & deported Abrego Garcia. “Now they claim that the court is powerless to order any relief. If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless because the government can deport ANYONE & no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”

With these words, Democrats sue Trump & his admin for an EO requiring Americans to show proof of citizenship (which can be tough & expensive for some people) before they can register to vote. There is no evidence of significant fraud. This is an outright effort to suppress Democratic votes.

There are plenty of lingering questions about the "Signalgate" fiasco. Donald Trump and his team are apparently no longer interested in getting answers.
