Mockler: I have spent all my formative years watching the President talk about the opposition party like they should not exist. His claim to fame in politics was saying that Obama was not born in America.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Hilarious. Trump is sabotaging this guy daily right before the election with his policy pronouncements and all he can do is plead with voters not to notice he’s a Trump ally. I’m sure NJ voters can REALLY count on Jack to stand up to Trump!

Just a deep, dark cesspool of corruption like we’ve never seen before in US history at every single agency and level of government. Republicans in Congress continue to ignore all of it and if people still care about having a Republic they will vote them out as soon as they can.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.
