How shall we know those who believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus? By their t-shirts proclaiming how Christian they are? By the size of the cross they wear? How loudly they pray in public? No. By what they do to serve other people. Only that.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

The only ones stealing land around the vicinity of that building that was invaded last week are white people who want to live off Lake Michigan and trying to introduce gentrification.

As a native Chicagoan, I am simply appalled at the assault on the city and the lies coming out of the mouths of this administration. It will only escalate. Where is the humanity?
