I would like to live in a kind world without evil leaders. Without the cruelty of war, the killing of children, because of One Fascist Leader who believes only in himself and no others.

much of the reason I am no contact with my dad stems from the fact that he is a cop.

when I was younger, I saw him ESCALATE a minor situation where he was was in the street (leaning into my car) and a driver crept past him and tapped him with their rearview mirror.

he arrested that man.

i often think of critical analysis of the court documents and video of the case of the officers who beat Rodney King when people point this out
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

NEWS: The House of Representatives just passed an extension of the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits, protecting access to quality, affordable health care for 22 million Americans. Will Senate Republicans join Democrats to save health care?

Trump took military action against Venezuela without Congress’s consent. That is unconstitutional. The Senate spoke: this must stop now. If force is truly necessary, Trump must go to Congress and make the case to the American people—not launch reckless wars for oil.

House votes 230-196 to pass a bill that would revive the expired enhanced ACA marketplace tax credits for three more years, sending it to the Senate, where it will need to be reworked before ever going to the floor.

Today is a happy day. House Democrats have passed a bill to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits so health care remains affordable and accessible for America’s working families.

The Senate must immediately take up this bill to ensure no American is pushed out of coverage.

Allowing the ACA tax credits to expire put millions of Americans at risk of losing healthcare.

That’s why House Democrats just passed a bipartisan bill to restore those credits. Now it’s time for the Senate to act. No family should lose healthcare because of Washington inaction.

The House passed the ACA extension. Now the Senate has to decide if they’re governing or sabotaging health care on purpose. No more hiding. #LeadershipMatters

Since Speaker Johnson refuses to display the Jan 6 plaque, the Senate unanimously agreed to display it on our side of the Capitol. Speaker Johnson, go dig the plaque out of whatever hole you’ve been hiding it in.
ALERT: Senate has approves resolution to (finally) hang Jan 6th plaque honoring police

It'll hang in US Senate (w/ approval of GOP Leader John Thune) until Architect of Capitol finds permanent location

It could hang in 3rd floor visitor area, where rioters marauded on Jan 6

Tonight — thanks to all of YOU — House Democrats did something many thought impossible.

We forced the Republican-controlled House to vote on extending healthcare tax credits for working families.

And it PASSED.

The Senate must now do the same.

Hey puppy killer! Did you really think that by lying & slandering Renee Nicole Good’s name calling HER a “domestic terrorist“ that we would not find out the name of her killer?

🚨His name is Jonathan Ross🚨

Killing comes so easily to the GOP. Ask Kristi Noem about her puppy & pet goat.
