Disabled people do not owe you their medical history or an explanation as to why they receive certain benefits
The idea that people must humiliate themselves for a meagre benefit that forces them into legislative poverty is another part of eugenics
We deserve a living wage.
We are not expendable.

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

Instead of lowering premiums, Republicans chose instead to rip away healthcare funding, kick millions off insurance, and close rural hospitals.
Why? So they could give their billionaire buddies a tax break.
Today, they’ll have an opportunity to do the right thing. The American people are watching.
