ICE murdered Johan Sebastian Guerrero in our backyard. He wasn’t the target of an investigation. He was driving to work. He had a three-year old daughter. ICE shot and killed him. Senator Collins must be held accountable for funding this terror.

"Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, the President cannot pardon himself." It is darkly amusing that this OLC opinion from the *week of Nixon's resignation* remains on the books in Trump 2.0. www.justice.gov/file/147746/...

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
