Funding for ICE or for affordable health care

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) received seventy five billion dollars* from Trump’s Trump’s One Big Beautiful Act (OBBA) passed by Republicans in July 2025. That is more money than most militaries in the world receive annually.

It's about priorities. When you elect someone, you want to know: what are they going to focus on?

Trump is not focused on what you’re paying for healthcare or groceries or whether your kids go to better schools. He’s focused on tax cuts for billionaires and sending masked unaccountable agents to terrorize communities.

That’s where your tax dollars are going.

Instead of spending trillions to widen the gap between the rich and poor, Trump and Republicans could have made childcare more affordable, improved housing options, and created a program for paid family and medical leave. Instead, they gave away money to billionaires and funded ICE.

TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBORS

You are a trusted messenger with family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors.

Tell them Trump and Republicans passed a big ugly budget bill that benefits the ultra wealthy and sticks it to the rest of us. It cuts funding for health care, Medicaid, SNAP benefits, housing and small business. On top of that, Trump's illegal tariffs are raising prices for all of us.
