You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

I can’t get over a media that spent years dwelling on gaffes telling us which Presidential crimes aren’t a big deal

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

I thought we nuked our own government, ended science, and left millions of people around the world to suffer & starve for “efficiency”?

Oh right, that was some BS cover for just spending however the president wants outside the law. Got it.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

Imagine thinking domestic violence isn’t “really serious”
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.

Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

It’s insane that we live in a country where folks can walk around in the street with an AR-15.

Trump is levying more taxes on US consumers than any president in US history. And he has built a massive propaganda machine to explain to people that he's not dong what he's actually doing. www.ft.com/content/50f8...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause.

“For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.”

“For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

No exemptions though for the things poor people buy: inexpensive shoes, clothes, bedding, tableware.
