There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Have you read that the Trump goons are looking for warehouses to buy for ICE to stuff people in? What makes anyone think that Republicans give a shit about health insurance costs for anybody?
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!

Despite overwhelmingly positive feedback, the Trump Administration is axing a tool that allowed Americans to file their taxes for free. It's disappointing to see the administration prioritize private interests over helping Americans save time and money filing their taxes.

“Megyn Kelly doesn’t think Muslims should hold office in America”. Meanwhile, “pro-Israel right-wingers…who seemed comfortable with intolerance when it was directed at Blacks, immigrants, trans people and other marginalized groups, are shocked (shocked!) that their former friends also hate Jews.”

Or even worse, demand that they WORK without pay.
