Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

At the behest of corporate lobbyists, Trump's CFPB will block states from erasing medical debt from credit reports. This comes as the GOP allows ACA subsidies to expire – which could cause millions to go uninsured and medical debt to skyrocket. A perfect storm of cruelty.
