“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

You know when you watch a disaster movie… and the pres runs the country from a high tech bunker under the WH? That bunker is under the east wing. It’s called the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, or PEOC. And the ballroom is probably a cover for upgrades.

That $300 million pricetag?
It probably isn't just for a golden ballroom...
The last time a president expanded the East Wing
"for renovations," it was to hide a bunker.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

No more US beef? So we pay tax to the federal government who then gives our money to Argentina, and then also wants to import beef from Argentina??

Trump: "The only price we have that's high is beef, and we'll get that down. And one of things we're thinking about doing is beef from Argentina."

There are no bike lanes in the country. Often country roads are much narrower than city streets. And you might actually have to drive on highways to get anywhere… living in the country can mean you’re 20 miles from the nearest school or grocery.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

I know something about aircraft pricing, and when you "need" to get updated avionics, safety equipment etc.

This is grotesquely wasteful, unnecessary, and self-aggrandizing.

No Kings. Also, no cosplay Marie Antoinettes.

The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million.

This comes as Americans can barely afford groceries.

They don't think they're public servants.

They think they're kings, princes, dukes, and barons. They control the government, and that makes them royalty, and that means our money should be used to buy them planes and gold-plated toys and gilded ballrooms
