The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

8 Democrats capitulated, in exchange for NOTHING! You’d think we had just LOST the election on Tuesday, rather than winning a landslide! Spineless cowards!

Here they are:

Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

The 'lady' in 'ladybugs' refers to the Virgin Mary.

First of all, there are over 5,000 varieties of ladybugs.

However, the first type of these beetles to be called a 'ladybug' had 7 spots which were thought to symbolize the 7 sorrows she suffered.

Wow! The lengths Trump will go to just to make Americans starve. His administration has ordered states to “immediately undo” any steps taken to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families.
