"What Would Jesus Do?" Questioned

• ❓ Democrat James Talarico challenges Republican lawmakers by asking what Jesus would do regarding a tax system benefiting the rich, a healthcare system requiring GoFundMe for surgeries, and an education system tied to property wealth.
• ✊ Talarico argues that true faith calls for challenging systems of injustice, not just engaging in charity after suffering occurs.

ICE Lawsuit and First Amendment Rights
