Dieser Satz kommt von Peter Thiel, dem Mitbegründer von #Palantir. Von solchen Typen sollten wir uns gerade mit Blick auf unsere Sicherheit niemals abhängig machen.

Trump says he didn't really need to demolish the East Wing to build his fancy ballroom, but he just didn't like it and wanted it gone.
He also claimed he's built many many ballrooms and "This will be one of the greatest ballrooms in the world.”

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about.
What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars.
We're paying for the torture of children.
I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
