All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered β instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed.
This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms.
We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.
Rescissions package passed by a single vote. Devastating but we fight on in the Senate. This cannot become law. Millions will die.

Would you spend $20 to save a human life? What about $20 to save thousands of lives? What if I told you that if you pay US taxes, you already *have* paid this $20, but Trump doesnβt want it to be spent saving lives?
Thatβs exactly whatβs happening with these rescissions: youtu.be/oJW2iES4oPw?...
From a colleague. Keep calling! Itβs working!!!
βWeβre hearing that because enough moderate Republicans in the House are telling Speaker Johnson theyβre against PEPFAR cuts, the White House is going to amend the package. The pressure is working!!β
π¨We can't lose this fight!π¨ The US gov has historically been the world's largest donor to global health. We cant afford for Congress to pass this rescissions package, which would permanently claw back funds from programs & nations that desperately need them. Call your reps!
