We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

Now make a mark on the board where $20 million would be ...

RIGHT! Way, way on the left side. Just 1/1,000 to the right.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

A Bronx family lived without utilities for over 6 weeks after they were shut off without explanation.

The landlord, despite receiving severe violation notices, didn't fix the problem.

HPD couldn’t turn the utilities back on, so it issued the family a vacate order.

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education.

In Louisiana, people will now be required to work 80+ hours a month to get food stamps, unless they are disabled or over 64 years old. Working 80 hours a month reduces or eliminates the benefit altogether.
The reporting requirements are likely to result in eligible people dropping out.
