CNN on Vance remarks: So first of all, hospitals have been required for decades under a law signed by Republican president Ronald Reagan to treat undocumented immigrants and anyone else who shows up in the E.R. with an acute condition, regardless of their ability to pay, regardless of their legal status. This was not a Joe Biden decision.
Secondly, the federal money for this emergency care goes to hospitals to help them cover the cost of the E.R. Visit. It is not comprehensive health care for undocumented people.
Third, Jake, the trump law reduced this federal funding to hospitals. It did not eliminate it.
And fourth, and I think this is the biggest point Democrats push to reverse this trump move and give the hospitals back level of reimbursement, would not give extra services or money to undocumented people. They would get the same emergency care Hospitals have been required for decades to give them. Hospitals would just get more help—the old level of help in covering the cost of that treatment.
Republicans don't need a single Democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because Republicans want it to.
(Senate Republicans can change the rules with a simple majority to pass a continuing resolution with 51 votes. They do not need Democrats. At all. So if they really want to fund the government, they will.)
Raise your hand if you’re sick of hearing about Charlie Kirk, and wished the news would focus on the Trump administration’s failed policies that are hurting this country? You know like important stuff. 🤞🏻🤞🏻✋🏻

MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING — AND I AGREE — THAT I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR) DESERVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE “MOST INCREDIBLE MAPS IN THE HISTORY OF MAPPING” (EVEN COLUMBUS). THESE MAPS WILL END THE “VERY RIGGED” ELECTIONS, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN (MAGA!!!), RETAKE CONGRESS “FOR THE PEOPLE”, AND SAVE DEMOCRACY. NOBODY ELSE COULD HAVE DONE THIS — CERTAINLY NOT THE “SELF-PROCLAIMED” MASTER DEALMAKER DONALD “TACO” TRUMP (TINY HANDS) WHO MISSED “THE DEADLINE” AND LOST (SAD!). PEACE THROUGH MAPS — NO ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE. I AM THE “PEACE TIME” GOVERNOR NOW, STOPPING “POLITICAL WARS” BEFORE THEY START. HARMONY, UNITY, EVEN LOVE. THE NOBEL COMMITTEE HAS GIVEN THIS AWARD TO LESSER PEOPLE FOR MUCH LESS. I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, ACTUALLY EARNED IT. THE WORLD WILL BE SAFER, KINDER, AND FRANKLY MORE “BEAUTIFUL” BECAUSE OF MY MAPS. GIVE GAVIN THE NOBEL, MANY ARE SAYING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GCN

@RepJeffries Do something. I recognize that powers are limited, but do more than a strongly worded letter. Draw up impeachment papers. Rally refusal to confirm and vote on MAGA/republican measures. Hold sit ins, filibuster, do anything but continuing the same statements that don’t work
