Congressional Republicans have spent 18 months as yes-men for Trump's unconstitutional war in Iran, his illegal tariffs, his devastating cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, and his unbridled corruption. Instead of standing up for their constituents, they bowed down to Trump.

A new DHS report revealed that detainees at Trump’s beloved Alligator Alcatraz were held in metal cages as punishment, and were denied adequate medical care, food service and personal hygiene. The cost of this cruelty? $1 million per day, paid for with your tax dollars.
