FDR was far from perfect - but this Second Bill of Rights is the America I want. "Every American is entitled to..."

80 years and we're not there yet. FDR's vision for the U.S. was never realized, though we did get a few steps down the path.

Nothing in FDR's dream forbids wealth; it just means you can't grind everyone into the mud to get it.

I have never served in the military (knew even as a child that underlying health conditions wouldn't permit it). I have never held a civil service position. But I am a Citizen - for me, that is 'office' enough.

This oath applies to me, too, and I hereby swear it.
Oath of Office - I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Thanks very much for your mention of the Dome Watch app on 'Cleanup on Aisle 45.' It's been amazingly informative in just the first 10 seconds, regarding activities, resolutions and votes in the House.

It's too easy to miss something important & this app is a great help.

I still don't like that Dem Senators caved, but I appreciate the perspective Lawrence offers.

Lawrence: With Trump's shutdown ending, Dems are closer than ever to forcing Epstein files release. (Link is to the podcast of last night's Last Word episode).

Trump on Orban: "He's a great leader and he's respected all over. Not necessarily liked by some of the leaders, but those leaders are proven to be wrong. If you look at Europe, they've made tremendous mistakes on immigration. He has not made a mistake on immigration. Hungary is being led properly."

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.
Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.
