@WhiteHouse The only thing Donald Trump did was shut the border and the way it’s looking that’s not even gonna stay that way. He has fucked up the entire economy and started a war He can’t get out of. Sold out his own country for money and he’s a fucking failure that’s just a fact.

BREAKING: GENIUS! Sen. Chris Van Hollen suggests restoring Affordable Care Act subsidies by gutting ICE’s bloated $200 billion in funding.

Two birds, one stone…

“We need to respond to the economic pain people are feeling. And that means a commitment, for example, to immediately pass legislation to make sure that none of us pay one dime, not one in higher electric costs, to build data centers for the richest AI companies on the planet,” Van Hollen said on “Pod Save America.”

“It means dealing with healthcare,” he continued. “And I mean, yes, of course, we need to reverse the damage the Trump administration has done with respect to their cuts to Medicaid. And by the way, we should claw back the approximately $200 billion in ICE funding that they banked last time.”

He also called for restoring the ACA subsidies that Republicans refused to extend in 2025.

We can’t think of a more elegant solution to this. Democrats are determined to undo Trump’s healthcare cuts and stem the deluge of financial stress, suffering, and death that those cuts are inflicting on the American people.

At the same time, we must abolish ICE. It’s a rogue paramilitary organization whose masked agents are terrorizing and murdering people in the streets. They’re trampling civil liberties and their detention centers are rife with sexual abuse. The last thing they deserve is another dollar of funding from taxpayers. That money should go towards saving lives, not ending them.

“But on healthcare, we need to go beyond that. We need to make sure that we deal with the system where premiums are going up and co-pays are going up and up and up,” added Van Hollen. “I ultimately believe we need to get to Medicare for All, but we certainly need to begin moving toward a public option. And finally, political corruption, because if you look at the results, it was interesting. If you look at what was on people's mind, number one was the economy and costs, but protecting our democracy was right up there. And these things are connected.”

There are growing calls among the Democratic base for Van Hollen to contest Chuck Schumer for the Senate Majority Leadership to empower a more progressive voice after the blue tsunami.

What do you think?

Please ❤️ and share if you’re a proud supporter of Chris Van Hollen!

Talarico: On election night, as I was delivering my victory speech, I noticed a woman up front. The lights were bright, so I couldn’t see her face, but I was struck by her attention, how closely she was listening, how much this moment meant to her.

As I finished speaking, I looked down again, and she had made her way to the front of the stage. I bent down to shake her hand, and I realized who she was.

She looked me in the eyes, and she said, “I’m so glad you have my father’s job.”

Lucy Baines Johnson was there to see another public school teacher take her dad’s Senate seat.

So let me get this shit straight. You've been president for nearly TWO YEARS, Texas still has a Republican governor, and you're already pointing fingers at a Democrat who doesn't take office until JANUARY? 😂 Jesus Christ, Donald. You're the one running the fucking country. If everything's such a disaster, maybe start questioning the incompetent asshole currently sitting in the Oval Office.

@HormuzLetter Call me crazy, but I’m partial to administrations in which the members don’t have to move to military bases for protection simply because they’ve pissed off the entire world.
