What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced
Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare.
It is a BETRAYAL to cut Medicaid to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
Call 866-426-2631 & demand Congress protect Medicaid!

My dad has Parkinson’s and Medicaid allows him to have what he needs and spend time with family.
This isn't just a budget cut, it's a death sentence for thousands of Americans...

Save Medicaid. Save lives
While Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid, Democrats are fighting to save it.
We know that healthcare is a human right, not a privilege for the wealthy.
It's clear who values human life, and it's not the" pro-lifers".

point out, it is also unworkable. (See Dkt. No. 69-1 at 17.) The recordkeeping and administrative burden from such an arrangement, (see id.), ' also mandates nationwide relief. Nor is it clear what, if any, prejudice the Government would suffer from nationwide relief. In its brief in opposition, it points to none. (See Dkt. No. 84 at 57-59).
For all these reasons, the Court finds that relief must be nationwide. Anything less is ineffectual.
III. CONCLUSION
Citizenship by birth is an unequivocal Constitutional right. It is one of the precious principles that makes the United States the great nation that it is. The President cannot change, limit, or qualify this Constitutional right via an executive order. The Court GRANTS the i Plaintiffs' motions for a nationwide preliminary injunction (Dkt Nos, 63, 74) and ENJOINS enforcement or implementation of the Order on a nationwide basis.
Birthright citizenship remains the law of the land. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

No hay manera de cortar $2.3 billones de Medicaid sin perjudicar a las familias que ya están luchando con costos crecientes. Cortar Medicaid dejaría a las familias vulnerables a la deuda médica y a la bancarrota. No podemos permitirnos estos cortes apresurados.

Donald Trump’s Executive Orders Aim to Create Jim Crow for Trans People
The Trump administration has dismissed public pleas for mercy for transgender youth and instead launched a full-scale attack against trans people.
Slate [Feb 2] -- Purpose of Trump multiple Executive Orders is to "create Jim Crow for trans people" by "fully disenfranchising them from society on a scale not seen since Jim Crow" (e.g., the legal racial caste system mostly in South from Civil War to 1960s).

If we look around and leadership isn’t found.
You might be the leader we’re in need of.
Great leaders don’t run towards responsibility all the time. They are deep thinkers and are systematically thorough. Details aren’t missed.
They are often hesitant but are often the best.

"Today, I have implemented a 25% Tariff on Imports from Mexico and Canada and a 10% additional Tariff on China," - Trump's way of looking at it.
"Trump just announced that he's increased taxes on Americans by $297 billion a year." - everyone else's way of looking at it.

RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary? A Disaster for Latino Health
Latinos are still twice as likely to be uninsured as non-Latino Whites. Many rely on Medicaid and ACA subsidies to afford care, and any disruption to these programs would hit us first and hardest.
RFK Jr. isn’t just another bad pick. His confirmation would have real, harmful consequences for Latino families.
We have to stop this.
Call your Senators at the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

ICE detained a family—including a toddler—after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico.
No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their “mistake.”
This is Trump’s America.
