Getting lost in the coverage of the Trump's BIG Billionaires bill is that it provides $75 billion dollars in funds for Trump to 1. create a personal army of 10,000 ICE agents and 2. build massive concentration camps to hold people. This will NOT end with immigrants- that is where it begins!

It's beyond heartbreaking to see GOP on verge of approving massive cuts to Medicaid, the ACA and food assistance all to give a tax cut to their wealthy donors. The GOP knows they will be killing people with their Medicaid and ACA cuts but they don't care. They should be charged with murder!

When the next environmental catastrophe arrives, who will be there to deal with the emergency and its aftermath?
"Most of EPAβs work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..."
