Immigration attorney turned lawmaker warns how Trump is targeting the American way of life

Immigration attorney turned lawmaker warns how Trump is targeting the American way of life

State Rep. Joe Hohenstein (D-Philadelphia) served as an immigration attorney before his election to the Pennsylvania House, and he had a dire warning for union members while speaking about Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) raids happening across the country.

Hohenstein says that President Donald Trump’s administration is coming after the working class and the American way of life.

On Monday, labor unions across Pennsylvania called for an end to the ICE raids sweeping across the commonwealth and the country after federal agents arrested SEIU California President David Huerta last Friday. Huerta was charged with conspiracy to impede an officer during an ICE raid, which could carry a jail sentence of up to six years in prison.

Union Leader: Republican red tape will take people’s healthcare away

Union Leader: Republican red tape will take people’s healthcare away

Matthew Yarnell, President of SEIU Healthcare PA, warned that Medicaid reforms in the US House Republicans’ budget bill may cost millions of Americans their health care coverage.

Republicans passed a budget earlier this month that cuts Medicaid by $700 billion and could force over 7 million Americans off the program.

Under the bill, Medicaid recipients would have to prove that they are working at least 80 hours a month and renew their coverage every six months.

Medicaid covers over 3 million Pennsylvanians and 34% of all births throughout the commonwealth. According to the Center for American Progress, 340,000 Pennsylvanians could lose their coverage if the US Senate approves this budget.

From the top rope: Summer Lee confronts Linda McMahon over 2020 Election lies

From the top rope: Summer Lee confronts Linda McMahon over 2020 Election lies

Democratic Congresswoman Summer Lee (D-Allegheny) confronted ex-WWE CEO and current Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon about the 2020 election results during a contentious US House hearing on Wednesday.

Lee asked McMahon if teaching the accurate results of the 2020 election was an “illegal DEI.” McMahon refused to answer the question.

The question comes after Oklahoma became the first state to add the conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump won the 2020 election to their history curriculum.

High school teachers in the state will teach students about debunked conspiracies surrounding non-existent mail-in voter fraud.

Is it ‘pro life’ to strip millions of their health care? This Pa. lawmaker says no

Is it ‘pro life’ to strip millions of their health care? This Pa. lawmaker says no

State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) called out supposed pro-life lawmakers for supporting Medicaid cuts that could potentially kill people.

Kenyatta spoke at a press conference outside of the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg on Monday, responding to remarks made by US Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who doubled down on a town hall statement that death is inevitable and to embrace Christianity.

Ernst told constituents,“Well, we are all going to die” after being confronted about her support for President Donald Trump’s budget bill, which includes a $700 billion cut to Medicaid.

Medicaid supports over 3 million Pennsylvanians and funds 34% of all births throughout the state. Over 340,000 residents could lose health care coverage as a result of these cuts.
