I used to read the Washington Post, but I canceled my subscription after Bezos coddled Trump.

I used to watch This Week on ABC, but I stopped when ABC paid off Trump.

I used to watch 60 Minutes, but I stopped when CBS fired Colbert and hired Weiss.

It’s time to adjust our long-held media habits.

Fun Fact:
The entire premise of Congress is negotiating budgets and writing laws for the executive branch to follow to the letter, not just being the Presidents private accountants that sign blank checks.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO GET FREE MEALS IN SCHOOLS FOR KIDS THAT COULD NOT AFFORD LUNCH? IT TOOK DONALD TRUMP "NO TIME" TO GET RID OF THEM FOR ONE REASON, TO GIVE THE BILLIONAIRES A BIG TAX CUT..

THEY HAVE NO SHAME, THEY WOULD TAKE FOOD OUT OF THE MOUTH OF A HUNGRY CHILD TO GIVE TO THEM.

Trump’s cruel legislation kicks 17M Americans off their health insurance, the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, while simultaneously slashing food assistance for 3M Americans and & eliminating school meal access for more than 18M kids.

I hope Hakeem Jeffries people caught on to how much of a positive reaction he seemed to get from his energy in that verbal sparring match with Lawler, and encourage him to keep that up.
I can't say what happened was effective, but it was nice to see that he has it in him to fight back.

It is good that the Israeli hostages are home. However Trump is no hero. He’s a self centered narcissist. It’s all about him. He doesn’t care about you. He is destroying the US.

Trump told Republicans to NOT work with Dems to get the gov’t open.
When you’re feeling the pain of this shutdown, I do NOT want to hear a single person blaming the Dems.
Blame Trump.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization no different from the KKK, for example. Every single ICE officer and agent needs to be arrested and prosecuted.

#AbolishICE

Tom Homan, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump deserve imprisonment too --- FOR LIFE.
