Donald Trump wants to be able to say who gets to vote and who doesn't. The details of that are all just excuses to disenfranchise voters he doesn't want to vote. It's that simple.

"One patriot missile costs between $4 and $4.5 million. An Iranian drone costs about $30,000 - $50,000. We cannot keep throwing Ferraris at Frisbees." Rep. Ted Lieu

“Are you concerned about insider trading on these prediction markets re: the war?” TRUMP: “The world is a casino. It is what it is.” 🤷🏼 And there you have it, folks!

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Donald Trump has never once cleared the bar of dignity, and he has never been someone deserving of the office of the President of the United States of America. He has never shown compassion or care, nor respect for a single person. Not for a single moment.

There is no excuse. None. Republicans have the votes, they have the power—and tonight they are choosing, deliberately, to do nothing for families and everything for ICE.   It’s past 3 AM and they’re jamming through $70 billion for ICE and $0 for families.   Spread the word.
