$170B could have paid for meals for schoolkids for a full decade.
$170B could have helped end homelessness by providing housing for every unhoused American 17 times over.
$170B could have restored funding for clean drinking water programs for 60+ yrs.
Instead, we’re terrorizing our communities.

As we noted at @americasvoice.bsky.social last year, $170B in anti-immigrant funding could instead have built more than 7,000 new elementary schools, paid for more than 1.5 million young Americans to attend an in-state public college for four years, or funded Head Start for nearly 14 years 👇🏽
Stephen Miller Is Getting $170 Billion To Build His Own Army To Target Our Immigrant Neighbors. Here’s What That Funding Could Do Instead
This unprecedented allocation of taxpayer money could go to helping working families all across America, on everything from education, hunger, housing, healthcare, and the environment.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

The Epstein docs initially released today included a spreadsheet containing claims of impropriety — some secondhand — made against Trump and other prominent people that appear to have been unsubstantiated tips or allegations.
The spreadsheet later appeared to have been removed.
