In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Q: Is any work being done on a Republican solution to the healthcare cliff?
MIKE JOHNSON: When I say that Republicans have been working on a fix for healthcare, we've been doing this for years. We're doing right now what we have been doing.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Assuming someone serves 10 years - what job would you expect them to have after they term out?

Yeah, cause Republicans don’t really ever talk about the price of just eggs and gasoline.
WELKER: Coffee prices are up 19%, beef is up almost 15%, and bacon up almost 6% just to name a few. So when are all grocery prices going to come down as President Trump promised?

Utopia now or we shut it all down (is not a sound political argument)
Let this moment be a wakeup call to stop taking some of the far-left seriously.
