I am spending Saturday night writing about all the people Trump is targeting with politically motivated criminal investigations and prosecutions. Legacy media has largely whitewashed these stories with both sides coverage. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now, because I never will. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Trump wants to give you $2000 to buy your own health insurance. Can you afford $10,000 a year for insurance? I favor eliminating for profit insurance companies but I believe we need a single payer/Medicare for all system. I want people to live. Trump doesn't care if you die.

You are a pathetic, spineless, complicit excuse for a senator. You don’t have a problem getting health insurance, do you Senator? You voted against the very people you are supposed to represent. Now you just represent failure and weakness.

WHAT are YOU hiding @schumer.senate.gov ? You continuously sell out the American people for the "right" price. We do NOT have any respect for you and you have proven to us you can't be trusted! WE are ALL DONE with your games. You will lose your seat and just be remembered as a shady sell out!
