Evil!

American citizens should fear ICE too.

The Singer Who Saw America’s Best and Worst Sly Stone fused joyful visions of the country with a deep understanding of its worst ills.

Fired FEMA chief threatened to quit weeks ago Cameron Hamilton, the acting disaster chief, appeared to contradict Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by defending the agency on Wednesday.

A tweet from Jake Sherman with Punchbowl News that reads: 🚨🚨BREAKING -- A new CBO analysis shows that several policies Republicans are considering for slashing Medicaid spending would lead to millions of people losing health insurance coverage. The analysis, requested by Democrats, says that per capita caps for the Medicaid expansion population would save $225 billion in federal spending and result in 1.5 million more uninsured people by 2034. Blocking provider taxes could save $668 billion and lead 3.9 million to lose coverage, per CBO.

This is a damning confirmation of what we've been saying:

Republicans want to rip away healthcare from millions to fund more tax cuts for billionaires.

Hands. Off. Medicaid.
