We’re told America’s broke. No money for healthcare, no money for schools, no money for the people who actually make this country run.

Then, somehow, forty billion dollars appears overnight not for Americans, but for Argentina.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans— Americans, not illegal-Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.
And the president's like, "We don't have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina."

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

There are only 600 immigration courts in US for 3.8 million cases. Trump has fired 83 of them this year.

They are actively collapsing the system. They are actively sabotaging the Justice system, not just immigration.

I just cancelled all my Amazon subscriptions.
I urge everyone to do likewise.

Funding the destruction of OUR White House is a line too far, the last straw. Yes, I was far too patient with Amazon. They do not deserve the luxury of planning millions of $$ of sales in advance.

ICE murdered a family’s dog & lied about it.
Agents raided a home on a bad tip, shot a dog named Chop, & let him bleed out while they hid. DHS covered it up. Congress stayed silent.
This is what happens when no one’s watching the watchers. I’m done with the silence.
