Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally.

Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums.

Is this what Trump means by America first?

To every traitor, remember what Ghassan Kanafani once said:

When you betray your homeland,
you will find no soil to show you mercy on the day you die
you will feel the cold, even in death.

GOV. WALZ: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business — the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Trump’s the one with government interference." (From @atrupar.com )

I have solar and the sun has not raised its prices. In San Diego County, more energy is generated than is used by personal solar. Many people have battery backup for the evening and night decreasing need for peak power. I guess you want to be a prisoner of corporate energy, I prefer freedom.

If this country was truly "pro life," we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn't about "life".

It's about control.

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Hey MAGAts!!! The Republicans are discussing the arsenal of weapons that you have, and they are concerned, and are discussing taking away your guns. They lied to you about everything, and they even used your religion to brainwash you. Nobody was treading on you…. But they are now!!!!
