The Senate Parliamentarian has now rejected *47* policies from the Senate GOP's budget bill. Much of this is due to arguments presented by Senate Democrats. Check this GIFT ARTICLE for the full, running list.

As a physician, I can’t stay silent. $1T in Medicaid cuts, provider tax caps, and work requirements will cost lives. This isn’t reform. It’s a heist.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Brad Lander wasn't detained by legitimate federal agents. He was kidnapped by Trump's plainly clad thugs with guns. Jeans, a hoodie and a mask is a common gas station robbery uniform. Start telling it straight, media.
