If Trump had just left the oil tanker alone, he could have continued to claim at least with a fig leaf of credibility that we had no choice but to blow up the boats he isn't seizing
The Caribbean Killings Were Unnecessary. Trump Just Proved It.
If we can seize an oil tanker, why did eighty people have to die?

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

And with the ACA issue, as with every other issue under Mike Johnson, the House returns from many more days off to do a mad frantic scramble to get something done before 22 million people get screwed in 30 days, with Trump constantly posting and saying different things about it.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

I’ve been working against school vouchers for a decade. I’ve also been watching what has happened in other states.
Missouri is following the Arizona voucher plan.
Arizona blew a $1 billion hole in their state budget last year because tax money was diverted to private religious schools.

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:
- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats
