The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

Brett Kavanaugh definitely had it right — it’s very easy to talk to ICE in these definitely low-stress, high voluntary, and respectful encounters on the streets. ICE carefully obeys all civil rights and bends over backward to respect civil liberties.

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

this was always the plan. it has nothing to do with democrats. this has been the heritage foundation's wet dream for decades.

oh look, republicans have intentionally made another mess, are blaming it on democrats, & breaking the hatch act all in one day.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

The Trump administration is blatantly violating the Hatch Act in order to deflect blame for their shutdown—-it’s part of a much bigger pattern.

Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

Oh yes, this is clearly now.

systemic racism at work

Omg. I’ve never seen anything like this in a judicial opinion:

Democrats are here to protect access to care and keep the government open. We need Republicans to do the same.

even when republicans have control of the house, senate, presidency, & scotus, they still need a scapegoat for all the horrible shit they do why can't they just do good things for the american people

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48 Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

The meritocracy and the media that normalizes it.

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

Jim Comey’s response to the indictment.

If republicans think it’s crucial to keep the government open, they can keep it open without a single democrat. They can change the filibuster rules with a simple majority in the senate. It’s all up to them.

“The Princess Bride” turns 38 today. Here’s a great tale about Andre the Giant — as told by Mandy Patinkin.

I went to Catholic school, and we even knew the Bible isn’t a history book. Oklahoma just turned indoctrination into state policy: mandating classroom Bibles while pretending amendments 11 - 27 don’t exist. Public schools should teach real history, not change it in order to fit a political agenda.
