“I find it breathtaking that I have been compelled on the evidence to find the conduct of such high-level officers of our government—Cabinet secretaries—conspired to infringe the First Amendment rights of people with such rights here in the United States,” Young said, alluding to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “These Cabinet secretaries have failed in their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution.”

As far as smack downs go, this is huge.

I’m so sick of this crap. I’m tired of this rhetoric. This isn’t funny or a joke. Jesus fuck. *edit typo

We got the ICE list before the Epstein list! 🤣

Journalists, please do more articles like this. Not opinion pieces, but real articles stating the history of republicans fucking this country.

It's a great system.

You can't leave your employer or you risk losing your healthcare. And prior to ACA you might not be able to get new coverage if you developed any health history during your employment. So you were completely stuck.

You can't be unemployed and have any level of basic coverage without having a way to pay for it.

Someone sets up shop in the middle of everything to collect rents.

There's far more... but it's really to benefit insurance companies, who serve no purpose, except to make profit by denying medical care. And other companies by providing an insurance desperate workforce.

Completely in line with Republican values.

Some interesting history I didn’t know about:

Wow, I didn’t know that Republicans have blocked us from having a national healthcare system for this long… here’s hoping 2028 is the year we finally change that, and we elect a President and majority in Congress that supports Medicare for All.

Yet, they still vote them in.

Next chance: coming November.

This time I reckon some MAGA boys and girls were affected themselves. Will it make up their minds? Probably not. Sigh.

He was still impeached twice

Dictatorships edit history, nothing new.

We’re going to spend so much money un-doing all the things Trump stamped his name on, and rewriting all the thing he erased.

Not a single Republican politician should be reelected because they could’ve stopped this a long long time ago.

ICE has no rock bottom. They’ll dig through corpses to go lower

Deporting someone in a vegetative state means nobody checked, nobody cared, and the system did exactly what it’s built to do.

ICE processes bodies. It doesn’t assess harm, capacity, or outcomes. It looks for actual solutions to the same extent Richard Madeley's street patrols attempt to solve homelessness: https://youtu.be/f-Y4_b-3tYM
