There are certain commandments of American political theology that both sides have honored for years. It is time to recognize the damage they have done and break each and every one of them.

Every ICE raid without a warrant is funded by healthcare cuts. Every child separated is paid for by insurance premium increases. Every killing like Alex Pretti's is enabled by Republican budget priorities. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Watch closely: Donald Trump is plotting to rig the midterms.
In just the past 2 weeks, his AG demanded that Minnesota turn over voter rolls, his DNI raided 2020 election ballots in Georgia, & he called to 'nationalize' our elections.
We must mobilize to protect our democracy.

The U.S. ranks 40th in healthcare—dead last on this list—yet Congress keeps shoveling billions into ICE. We fund raids, cages, and weapons while people die waiting for care. This isn’t incompetence. It’s priorities. And they’re lethal. #FundHealthcareOverICE

“We don’t need a warrant.” That’s what Congress is voting to fund today. Armed agents. No due process. Fear on public transit. Meanwhile ERs close and patients wait.

Republicans in Congress want more blood on the streets and less healthcare for Americans because that is how their big donors get paid, whether it's private prison companies getting rich or the billionaires and their big tax cuts.
Either way, you die.

As an influencer, Nick Shirley had struggled to expand his reach. But after a missionary trip pushed him to try a new approach, he caused a sensation with a video claiming to expose fraud at Somali-run day care centers in Minnesota. nyti.ms/45GzJi4
