Last year, Trump and 98% of elected GOP enacted the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, bigger even than Reagan's Medicaid cuts. By 2034, 7.5 million people will lose their Medicaid because of the cuts. Clinics are already closing and hospitals are already cutting services, citing OBBBA as a reason.
medicaid cuts from obbba grow to 16% by 2034

Officials in Kent County, Mich., promised they'd stop handing over immigrants in jail to ICE w/o judicial warrant. That didn't happen. Many of those arrested weren't charged w/ a crime - including women who say they're the victims of domestic violence. Our story: www.propublica.org/article/dome...

Judge Brown ordered the ICE field office director, on pain of contempt, to explain within 21 days how he’d ensure ICE acts lawfully in future. @wired.com & others have reported that an officer identified in Brown’s ruling was present at the subsequent Bronx shooting, brandishing a weapon. 2/2
Some of these failings fall within this Court's powers to impose sanctions, to refer these
matters for further action by other authorities and/or to exercise its contempt powers.
Before the Court considers invoking that authority, it will provide respondents with an
opportunity to address the concerns raised above and, if they so choose, propose
investigatory, operational and/or disciplinary measures to remediate these apparent
violations. Alfaro, 831 F. Supp. 3d at 186 ("Respondents, charged with enforcing the laws of this nation, cannot ignore the scores of decisions which they have unsuccessfully litigated before this Court and others, without taking action to ensure that their agents and agencies are not acting in contravention of the law.") Should
respondents fail to propose and carry out sufficient measures, the Court will consider
further action.

This is blatantly unconstitutional and an Antideficiency Act violation. Congress set the ADA penalty in 1906: 2 years in jail and/or a $5,000 fine. It would’ve taken the typical person 31,250 hours of work to pay the fine then, meaning it’s the equivalent of a $1.2 million fine today.

In one advert, Abbott says that the state doesn't control property taxes, but then promises to lower them as governor. In another, he says opponent Hinajosa voted to raise property taxes 40 times. So, which is it? State control or not? (Not) www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...
houstonchronicle.com
Fact check: Abbott ad says Gina Hinojosa voted 40 times to raise property taxes
Hinojosa never directly voted to “make your property taxes go even higher.” The state legislature does not levy property taxes – counties and school districts do.
