Court papers filed Wednesday state that Mr. Abrego Garcia was beaten, deprived of sleep, and subjected to psychological torture during the nearly three months he spent in Salvadoran custody. It is unacceptable to send people to other countries to be tortured!

Physician anesthesiologists complete nearly 2x the amount of higher education as nurse anesthetists & roughly 5x times more hours of clinical training. A nurse cannot replace a physician. Who do you want protecting your life in an emergency?

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

In a state that makes vaccine exemptions easy to obtain, Gaines County has one of the lowest vaccination rates in Texas - far below the vaccination rate needed to prevent outbreaks. 17.6% of kindergartners in the County have a vaccine exemption on file, as well as nearly 14% of 7th graders.
