COLLINS: You talk about 15 years of Obamacare. But that also means Republicans have had 15 years to come up with a solution and have not yet done so.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

This is still VERY illegal. The Trump admin says anyone who pays $1 million will be deemed to have "exceptional business ability" and become eligible for an employment-based immigrant visa.
But there's nothing stopping someone from just getting a loan or using parents' money.

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

What we’re seeing with the US is a systematic self-dismantling of a Western country.
I’m baffled. Why?
Yes, Trump is a Russian agent. He has to be. But why is everyone in his government going along with this?

70% of Canadians surveyed say Trump can go fuck himself and are joining the international boycott against the US.
Traditionally Canada has been the country to visit the US the most, in 2025 those visits have dropped by 30% and growing, resulting in a $5.7B US loss.

Trump is at it again—this time taking bids to bulldoze historic federal buildings in DC and repaint the Executive Office building. But, we’re here to tell him {tiny} hands off our history! Hands off our heritage! And hands off our buildings!

The White House has been hammering this message as they flail on affordability; nothing at all is our fault, while literally everything is the fault of undocumented immigrants, a group whose numbers we keep claiming are higher and higher every time we need a bigger scapegoat.

Tomorrow, Republicans have a chance to vote to prevent 24 million Americans’ premiums from spiking.
If they really care about affordability, this is the single easiest and most important vote to support. Somehow, I doubt they’ll do it.
