SOUTHSIDE CHICAGO — Windy City residents run off immigration agents to save a man mid-abduction at 63rd and Kostner Ave.

Trump's terrifying speech to military leaders was straight from the authoritarian playbook.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Just naked and brazen corruption. All states represented by Democrats in the Senate.

Time to stiffen our spines and demand that we only fund a government that obeys the law.

[Acyn @Acyn]

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.

If you watch the video until the end, you can hear an ICE agent saying in response to her being disabled, “she’s disabled now because she f***’ed around”.
This is what taxpayer money is paying for in this administration.

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

ICE targets Democratic congressional candidate—who fights for disabled rights and relies on a wheelchair.

"Agent didn't say anything, just came over and body checked me," she said.

"I was tackled and my face just smashed into the ground super hard... this shiner will look 'awesome' when I go meet with my kid's school tomorrow."

Amanda Siebe was standing in the bike lane leaning against a mailbox—just using her First Amendment right to film.

She is a well-known local activist—and candidate for Congress in 2020 from Oregon's 1st District.

Watch her personal video testimony about arrest in thread. #DemsUnited

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

"I was recording in a bike lane, and they body checked me, and slammed me to the ground."

"Then they released me with no charges... So they beat the hell out of me for absolutely nothing."

Bernie Sanders and AOC do a joint video explaining their view of the shutdown.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Trump is only proving why Democrats have no obligation to give our tax dollars to a president who will honor no agreement, break the law, violate the Constitution, and hurt innocent Americans just for sport.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Exactly. Trump doesn’t care if he has additional authority or not - and he’s been acting that way since January!

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Some thoughts on why Democrats should make this shutdown fight about more than health care

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

If you’re an American citizen who is *carrying identification*, ICE can still assault and detain you.

Why would we fund a government that spends our tax dollars on masked agents who violate our Constitutional rights?

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

In this raid, they dragged naked children out of their homes and put them into U-Haul vans. And now they're bragging about it.

U.S. citizens had their doors smashed down and were forced into handcuffs and held outside for hours. Senior citizens held outside, their homes trashed.

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

ICE officers go into Vegas neighborhood and arrest 56-year-old with outstanding removal order from 2002 after he filed for political asylum, then he disappears, family finally finds him in a local hospital barely able to breathe.

Stunning stuff, via @bella_tweetss.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

No funding for our government until it stops terrorizing our communities

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Is that what you call zip-tying children, smashing glass on a one-month old, shooting chemical munitions at journalists, and breaking the ribs of an 80-year old citizen?

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Yesterday, Kristi Noem’s and Greg Bovino’s masked agents threw chemical agents near an elementary school, arrested elected officials exercising their First Amendment rights, and raided a Wal-Mart.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

@StephenM ICE beat the shit out of this American with a disability who was later released without being charged. So what kind of terrorist is she?

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

@StephenM Was the one-month old armed and funded by Soros or just the pleading mother?

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

@StephenM Is this one of the left-wing terrorists who needed pepper spray in their mouth?
