“Our monthly premium is $443. It’s going up to $2224. We’re kind of in shock. Both of us have worked our whole lives.”

These are the people Burchett & @MarshaBlackburn refuse to help, even as Marge says Republicans should work with Dems to fix this. #TrumpGOPShutdown

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.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Carney: Up until now, more than 70 cents of every dollar of military capital spending by our government has gone to the United States.

With our new Defense Investment Agency, we’ll make sure we build more of our security and defense capabilities here at home

I'm glad my car is old school. It doesn't even have a fob.

Thinking about ditching my smart phone.
