WHY NOT? Medicare could be modified to benefit all American Citizens, not just the old. Instead of putzing around and getting nothing done, it's time for our elected officials to step up and join the other democratic nations that have already made healthcare a citizen's right.

ICE agents violently detained another disabled person, causing severe injuries.

Arturo Ruvalcaba lives in Utah and is deaf.

Three ICE agents grabbed him at a bus stop.

He tried to use sign language to communicate his disability to them, and they interpreted that as “resisting arrest”.
A deaf Utah man says ICE agents injured him months ago and he’s still in pain. Now he’s suing.
A Utah man who is deaf says ICE agents discriminated against him and injured him, in what he says in a lawsuit was an unconstitutional search.

Missouri Republican lawmakers do not respect Missouri voters. The only way to undo the damage is to kick them out of office.

The only way to get them out is to win races across the state.
