Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Trump is giving another $12 billion of our taxpayer money to bail out farmers AGAIN from his disastrous policies. Watch farmers get this bailout then go right back to voting Republican in the midterms now that they’ve got their welfare checks.

The corruption is sickening, and right out in the open.
I thought I had seen it all in some sense in the 15 years I handled corporate fraud cases.
Nope. Staggering what this administration is doing. Just straight bribery (impeachable offense), corruption and grifting.
All of us suffer for it.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.
