The last 10 years is learning terms I’d rather be ignorant of.

Taking the train to summer camp meant riding from Sedalia, MO to Chicago, IL to Fargo, ND. Not fun.

40% of SNAP recipients in Arkansas are children. The pro-life crowd crowing about welfare Moms losing benefits not thinking of the babies or the elderly, disabled, or veterans. Best of all, young active duty families with kids are also on SNAP. Ahhhh...the good old days. #arpx #SNAP

He’s taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans and making it unaffordable for 22 million more

And using the shutdown as an excuse to deprive up to 42 million citizens-including children-of SNAP benefits

Yet is on the verge of directing the DOJ to pay him $230 million

It’s just so lawless

If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Isn’t it wild that you can simply ask, ‘Is he dead yet?’ and everyone knows who you’re talking about.

My first W2 job was McDonald's, $3.35 an hour, 1989. We did get a free meal though, unlike some restaurants.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

You can generally keep 6 months. The only time I have needed more than one is on applications for income based reduced rates, like at the Y or for reduced transit fees.

As a fan of one of baseball’s other perennially cursed franchises, there’s a reason baseball always begins with the warmth of spring and ends with the chills of autumn: the hope that some day it’ll be our day.
