Kakistocracy-A government in which the worst people are in charge. This obscure word is used in political commentary, especially to call out a government considered corrupt or incompetent.

the Elizabeth Warren CNBC hit that triggered Trump: "Trump ran for office saying he'd lower costs on day 1. Cost of groceries are up, cost of housing is up, healthcare is up. And where is Trump? He's passing a signature bill to throw people off healthcare so he can do tax cuts for billionaires."

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!
It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.
If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Science doesn’t improve by cutting Black, Hispanic, and women experts. But that’s exactly what happened—38 out of 43 removed from NIH boards were just that. And they wonder why trust in institutions is fading.
Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards
Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Hmm? If you voted for this Administration do you love your neighbor or yourself? Or do you just love Trump?)

As we come upon Easter, I believe if Jesus was here now walking this earth, he would be sent to the El Salvador Prison for being a brown migrant, probably be accused of being a gang member without ANY due process, or for coming to America illegally, by this Evil and Cruel Administration.
