Arrest the masked ICE agents and then let them sit in cells while waiting to see if the law is constitutional or not ... just like ICE does when they detain U.S. citizens.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

This is not a fight about tax credits.

This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

To receive a Real ID, you must provide either a U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, or Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) if you are a non-U.S. citizen.

I am a single issue voter.

And that issue is: if your policies make life harder for the people I love, then I am against you and will vote accordingly.
