This administration is all about chaos, greed, and vindictiveness. #TrumpTariffs driving up prices on groceries and goods, #TrumpHugelyUglyBill will drive up prices, or eliminate, healthcare for many, #TrumpFossilFuelKickbacks driving up energy prices, and #TrumpTakeJobs driving up unemployment.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

One reason Dems should be sharing this and talking about it nonstop is because the key to dominating the public mind is media that evokes emotion. It’s how George Floyd started nationwide protests overnight. And it’s impossible to see this without feeling blind rage. Healthcare policy could never.

We must rebuild the global food system around NEED & not shareholder profit.

We must radically change what we eat & how we produce it.

We need BOLD LEADERSHIP on this, or we watch our world crumble as more & more people go hungry, & then we go hungry, & then billions of us die.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.
