Healthcare is a basic human right.
The US is one of the only countries in the developed world not to guarantee healthcare to all.
The budget they just gave to ICE could easily cover universal healthcare.
They would rather fund a militia than provide food, medicine and vaccines.

I donβt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make whatβs happening now look like childβs play. And people are disappearing.

Mr. Fetterman, it's really this simple: you're receiving $174,000 a year for a position to which you were elected after asking people to trust that you'd be an unwavering champion for working class families.
