Isn’t revealing this information missing the point? Sounds like a violation of the Espionage Act. FFS.

We are fighting for true freedom. The freedom to live a life of dignity and joy.

A life of 80 hour work weeks, of constantly struggling to get by, being trapped in a shitty job by your health insurance — this is not freedom, and we are not free. But we could be. If we fight.

The line for today’s food bank was the longest I’ve seen since Trump was inaugurated. Boxes were smaller. And the Cheeto Pedo gave another $20B of our money to Argentina.

Trump just upped his bail-out for Argentina from $20 billion to $40 billion. Argentina has government run healthcare that's available to all Argentinians.

Yet Trump has shut down the American government while trying to take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

What say you, Republicans?

Nurse: Asking our friends and neighbors[...]to pay more than double for their premiums is going to force people off their health insurance[...]instead of working with Democrats to lower health care cost, Republicans shut down the government and took a vacation.

The restraint shown by the citizens of Chicago is remarkable. These ICE Goons are trying to get themselves fired on, so they can machine gun everyone in the neighborhoods they are occupying. This is some admirable self-control. . .

Daily Beast: Trump faces a MAGA backlash for giving Argentina a $20 billion bailout, as thousands of federal workers face layoffs & soybean farmers bear the brunt of his sweetheart deal.

Are we great yet?

Tell me, would you remain friends with a criminal who blackmailed his family? Why the fuck are so many people here defending Booker? Once Kushner was convicted, and worse, pardoned by Trump he should have turned his back on him.

A letter? How about sending a squad of State Troopers with a warrant for election tampering?

Why did he vote for Charles Kushner as Ambassador to France? Kushner is a felon, and a terrible person.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?

Negotiating a budget deal? No.

Preventing premiums from doubling? No.

Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.

He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.

America first?

I don’t want to see anyone, male or female, running for Congress after they have reached retirement age. My senator, John Hickenlooper will be 74 when he runs again. That’s my age. He would be 80 at the end of his term. That’s too old.

It’s destructive down south near Alamosa. It’s a shame so many of those folks voted for the guy that crashed FEMA.
