I voted NO on House Republicans’ spending bill just now because the bill does nothing to solve the continuing health care crisis that Republicans created. This is a dirty bill that will continue to prevent millions of Americans from receiving the care they need.

Milwaukee Judge Arrested For Helping An Immigrant Evade ICE At Courthouse. 👇🏼 We never arrest judges for taking lavish private jet trips in exchange for ruling against settled law. Only judges who lend help to the lower class. She's a HERO ✊🏼 in a corrupted class system. apnews.com/article/immi...
Live updates: Judge accused of helping man evade immigration agents is released after arrest - April 25, 2025
MILWAUKEE (AP)- The FBI on Friday arrested a Milwaukee judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities, escalating a clash between the Trump administration and the judiciary over the Republican president's sweeping immigration crackdown 
Dugan is accused of escorting the man, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, and his lawyer out of the courtroom through the jury door on April 18 as a way to help avert his arrest, according to an FBl affidavit filed in court. 
The affidavit quotes the courtroom deputy as having heard Dugan say words to the effect of "Wait, come with me" before ushering them into a non-public area of the courthouse. The action was unusual, the affidavit says, because "only deputies, juries, court staff, and in-custody defendants being escorted by deputies used the back jury door. Defense attorneys and defendants who were not in custody never used the jury door."
