My mother, who was an asylum seeker at the time this photo was taken, taught me how to walk at MacArthur Park. Today, that same park is filled with federal agents terrorizing the very community that raised me. The Trump administration wants you to believe this park is overrun

This is footage from today in MacArthur Park. Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through. The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.

Republicans just stripped healthcare from 17 million people. As a doctor, I know what that means:.More times I'll have to look a patient in the eye and say, "I'm sorry, your insurance won't cover that.".More frustration as diabetes or high blood pressure spirals because care was.

I’ll never forgive this Administration for what they’ve done—and what they’re still doing—to the Latino community. If you’re Latino, you should be furious—and in 2026, 2028, 2030, and every election after that, vote out everyone who enabled this hate.

WOW. Senate Republicans voted to slash Medicaid for 12 MILLION people—the biggest healthcare cut in U.S. history. If the House passes this bill, millions will get sicker. The only thing sicker? The people who voted for it. Please call your House rep NOW to vote NO.
