Mike Johnson disconnected the phone number at the Capitol. Call his Congressional office in Louisiana & ask them why he is afraid of the American people & do his job. Swear in the representative from Arizona now‼️

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Jacob Soboroff is doing a great job investigating and debunking the claims that ICE is making about their arrests targeted worst of the worst

Congress can help reign in ICE- IF we get a Democratic majority. That will be more likely if California passes Proposition 50. #YesOnProp50

This is what I was getting at in today’s column. Republicans won’t do anything without Trump’s permission. Period.

“GOP will brutalize voters with spiking health care costs unless Trump says to stop.”
