Dozens of people show up for the 'Remove, Reverse, Reclaim Rally' in Sioux City
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Dozens of people showed up for the 'Remove, Reverse, Reclaim Rally' held in downtown Sioux City on Saturday afternoon.
The rally started in front of the Federal Courthouse building, but was moved to the Sioux City Museum because of the crowd's size. The rally was part of a nationwide movement for people to express their opinions.
'Our liberties are at risk and justice is not dictated by the man in the white house,' said Marie Farrell of Lawton, Iowa. 'We have laws and we have lawmakers, and it outrages me the number of things that are being claimed to be illegal just because someone in the office does not like them.'
'I am here because I see so many people struggle with Medicaid, Medicare,' said Angela McPherson of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 'I work in a pharmacy and to see everyone struggle to pay for what they need. He's trying to take away social security and these people are going to struggle so much more.'
The rally went from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and featured different speakers throughout Saturday afternoon.

Far-left House candidate rallies around healthcare for illegal immigrants: 'How is it controversial?'
Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic candidate for Illinois' ninth congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, said "every single person in the world deserves healthcare," even illegal immigrants. "How is it controversial?" Abughazaleh asked a CNN "NewsNight" panel on Thursday night. The young progressive candidate, with a campaign website that reads, "I don't have health insurance, and I'm running for Congress," repeatedly told the panel that every person is entitled to healthcare when asked if that includes illegal immigrants. "I'm such a monster… How is it controversial that I don't want someone to die in the hospital if they can't afford it?" Abughazaleh asked. Dems Warn House Republicans Will Pay Price At Ballot Box For Passing Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act is currently under consideration by a Republican-led White House and Congress. The president has championed the legislation as fulfilling his key campaign promises, including border security, American energy production and tax cuts. Read On The Fox News App Gop Rails Against 'Blatantly False' Dem Claims About Medicaid Reform In Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' House Republicans have celebrated Medicaid reform included in the megabill, which they say eliminates waste, fraud and abuse in the welfare program to deliver for Americans who need coverage most. Removing illegal immigrants from Medicaid is one of the key provisions of that Medicaid reform. Meanwhile, Democrats have railed against possible Medicaid cuts since Trump was elected in November. Every House Democrat voted against the bill, and Democrats are already defining Medicaid cuts as a driving issue ahead of competitive midterm elections in 2026. The bill does not cut Medicaid for the most vulnerable, according to Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Ind., who served on three major committees leading budget markup in the reconciliation process. Houchin told Fox News Digital that targeting waste, fraud and abuse in the Medicaid program cuts benefits to illegal immigrants, those ineligible to receive benefits who are currently receiving benefits, duplicate enrollees in one or more states and those who are able-bodied but are choosing not to work. "Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it'll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls," Abughazaleh said in response to a Republican National Committee (RNC) rapid response account calling her comments, "madness." Abughazaleh said she is running for the U.S. House of Representatives because, "Our leaders are out of touch." The young Democrat is challenging Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., who has served decades in congress. Abughazaleh is a former staffer for the progressive watchdog group, Media Matters, and a progressive article source: Far-left House candidate rallies around healthcare for illegal immigrants: 'How is it controversial?'

Lawmakers push forward with budget bill
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Elon Musk's online tirade against Republicans' tax bill has not changed minds in Congress, according to Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.). 'Not a single one,' Scalise said Friday. 'We're more united than we ever have been behind President Trump's agenda. Getting it done, on his desk by July 4th.' Musk turned on the president Thursday. In a series of escalating X posts, he opposed the 'Big Beautiful Bill' over concerns it raises the debt. The bill extends tax cuts, increases funding for border security and cuts Medicaid by adding work requirements. 'I don't think lashing out on the internet is the way to handle any kind of disagreement,' Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she doesn't like the cost of the bill either. The Congressional Budget Office says it would add $2.4 trillion to the deficit over a decade but Greene says Musk isn't in office. 'People are going to be focused on making sure that we get the agenda we voted for, and that's President Trump's agenda,' Greene said. White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro pushed back on the CBO estimate, calling it 'dead wrong,' and saying it doesn't account for tariffs revenue. 'That dog won't hunt when you do the math properly,' Navarro said. Musk also posted that House Republicans could be at risk in the midterm elections if they vote for the bill. That doesn't alarm Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett. 'He doesn't vote in my district,' Burchett said. Meanwhile, Democrats, like House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) continue opposing the bill over its cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. 'People will die if the GOP tax scam ever becomes law,' Jeffries said. The Senate continues work on the bill next week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump's fallout, explained
President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have quickly turned on each other in a very public and bitter feud. Their split isn't just personal, but has major implications for the rest of the country, with Musk now strongly opposing Trump's 'big, beautiful bill.' It is the centerpiece of Trump's legislative agenda, which includes tax cuts, Medicaid reductions, and increased border spending. The proposal would also significantly raise the national debt. Musk took aim at the bill as 'massive, outrageous, pork-filled…a disgusting abomination' that would 'massively increase' the budget deficit. 'Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.' In response, Trump threatened Musk's federal contracts. Then Musk threatened to start a new political party and accused Trump of covering up 'the Epstein files.'
