It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

β€œWe are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Do people realize that Trump and Miller are creating so many valid civil causes of action that taxpayers will be paying billions of dollarsβ€”if not tens of billionsβ€”to their innocent victims and their families over the next 25 years?

America will be digging itself out of a hole for decades to come.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Doocy: "So the Democratic position is that illegal immigrants should not have any access to taxpayer-funded health insurance?"

Sen. Mark Kelly: "Federal law is that undocumented individuals do not have access to medicare, medicaid, food stamps, or the ACA. That's the law."

Trump is ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to deploy their National Guard, ignoring the truth, lying about violence to justify his invasions.

This morning, theΒ Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Buttigieg: You’ve got a president and a Republican Congress who would rather see the entire government shut down than allow Americans to afford their healthcare.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

The thing about Trump bailing Argentina out to the tune of 20 billion while shutting down the US government to kick Americans off healthcare…

Argentina has universal healthcare. πŸ˜‘

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.
