Women are half the population but are STILL only 28.2% of 535 seats in Congress.

That’s not representative government.

It’s #genderauthoritarianism

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

I see this little argument about Wonder Woman being brunette…
Reminder! Wonder Woman is within all of us, and sometimes, she has blonde hair like Sabrina Carpenter! 💫

Obama: “as for the president, he’s been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes, & gold plating the Oval Office & building a $300M ballroom
So Virginia, here's the good news. If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry, he will save you a dance”

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us?

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Our health care system is so broken it’s insane.

Stop letting them make you believe a better one is impossible.

I think Trump, Johnson and Thune are confounded by the tenacity of the Democrats in this shutdown showdown. It’s clear to a majority of Americans that Trump is responsible. He has total control of government, premiums are sky high, children will go hungry, and that Gatsby themed party👀They will fold

I want my tax dollars spent on taking care of our fellow Americans, not marble bathrooms or useless, gaudy ballrooms none of them will ever step foot in. That's why I'll always vote for people who care about others more than they care about themselves.

“If you can’t get a vote on your record, don’t play us against each other.”

I’m grateful for the Rev. Sharpton’s powerful words of unity this morning and against the cynical politics of fear and division.

The food bank is absolutely slammed this morning with donations and the staff is still cracking jokes.

Thank the gods for people who care.
