@sanders.senate.gov: You're telling the American people that the American Medical Association–representing hundreds of thousands of people–have been co-opted and that they should not trust their doctors?

Everybody is corrupt, but you? Is that what we're looking at? I don't think so

Never in Social Security’s 90-year history has a Commissioner held a second job.

If Bisignano doesn’t want to focus on Social Security, it’s time for him to quit.

Trump and Republicans forced a shutdown and went on vacation.

Democrats are fighting to cancel the cuts, lower the costs, and save health care.

A graphic with a blue background and a photo of a nurse holding a sign. The text in white and blue text says,"Republicans unleashed chaos when they forced a government shutdown. Americans have a clear message: CANCEL THE CUTS! LOWER THE COSTS! SAVE HEALTH CARE!"

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

Our local Democratic Club has this program. We get a list of our neighbors who are Dems. I already started a group and we are going to have a sign making party for #NoKings. It's so great meeting neighbors who are like-minded!
Our goal is to expand & become the neighborhood's trusted messengers.

Yes, somehow those heading corporations don't seem to be making the connection: rogue regime = less business and lower profits.

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action
