Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.
This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

Russia attacking humanitarian assistance is indeed outrageous, and shockingly cowardice, but sadly not surprising. Since day one Russia has disregarded obligations under international law. May Putin and his fellow perpetrators be held accountable for their misdeeds

This made me cry, because he's right.
Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict:
“I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything….
“That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants…
Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

Bannon talking about a third Trump term is as scary as it gets.
They don’t GAF about the Constitution, and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep Trump breathing long enough to seize a third term.
So when you start thinking your vote doesn’t matter, remember this: they know it does. That’s why they’re trying to take it from you.
This isn’t going to end well.
