Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place for thousands of brave, patriotic anti-fascists who laid down their lives to fight fascists overseas.
If you're not anti-fascist, then you're pro-fascist. It really is that simple.
