Just because US citizens are disgusted with the current government leadership does not mean they hate the US; quite the opposite. People who love the US will protest to make it better, and Mr. Johnson seems to forget that protest IS the foundation of this republic.

Trump will still try to force Poland to spend 5% of its GDP buying US armaments, but the US will not commit to defending Poland with comments like this. Its disgusting.

This is an anti-Christian talking point. The whole story that Jesus told about the Good Sumaritan, one of the most quoted stories of the Bible, is all about one man paying for another man's healthcare, REGARDLESS of national origin.

This is the consequence of saying political correctness "is wrong." Political correctness is saying directly that messages likes the texts from that group are hurtful, hateful, and destructive. Bring back PC.

"No Kings = No Paychecks"? What does that even mean? Is he saying unless we bow down and exault Trump as a King, we will have no prosperity in this country? This administration is very inarticulate.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Trump wants to force Spain to spend 5% Spain's GDP to buy US weapons, as the US has a near monopoly on the military industrial complex. Its not about fairness or military readiness. It is extortion.

The US has two military bases in Spain essentially for free. In the history of the US, not a single UuS soldier has gone to war to defend Spain, but Spanish soldiers fought in the Iraq war defending the US after 9/11. So tell me, who owes who?

For the life of me I'll never understand why Vance's blood libel of Haitian immigrants in Ohio wasn't the end of him appearing on TV or, at the very least, being asked every time he starts an interview, "Why should we believe you when you admitted you were lying about that?"

WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act?

VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control

W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland

V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly

Jared Golden worked for Susan Collins as a staffer. Here is the link. I do not know what if any effect this has on his decision on whether or not to run for Senate.

Republicans want to brush away all the local voices and community input that went into making BLM’s land use plans and tell folks that the way they use their public lands isn’t important.

Destroying American family farms with one mercurial tweet after a nother. Reality TV hosts make really crappy diplomacy. With Trump's "tough on China" policy, China will end up owning the American farms.

Anytime congress has a popularity of less then 50 percent approval rating, no incumbent gets to run for office from either party. And get rid of Congressional districts. Statewide house races only.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Democrats are fighting this government shutdown to keep your health insurance costs from skyrocketing.
Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.
