No one, no one exploded the US National Debt on fruitless "military spending" like Republicans Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush (with his "terror" oil wars), and inept "Bankruptcy King," Donald J. Trump.

Donald Trump can't even sufficienty manage the US Economy and provide for a "civil" society.
How in the unholy heck can Trump "rule" an enormous sovereign country like Venezuela?

there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

Today is the four year anniversary of Starbucks Workers United unionizing its first store.
Since then, they've won over 650 union elections but Starbucks still hasn't negotiated a fair union contract.
Until then, don't cross the picket line. Show solidarity like Bernie and Zohran.

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. They deserve respect.
Unfortunately, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Texas has hired union busters to stop nurses from unionizing. Unacceptable.
I stand with these brave nurses in the struggle for justice & against corporate greed.
