FDR was accurate in the need for a new Bill of Rights. I have thought about writing a new document. It can be done. You take what we have now condense to simpler terms and add those that aren’t specified such as an age limit for President and that a criminal can’t be one. There you go. It’s good.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Senators Merkeley and Wyden are true Oregonians AND they have always stood for what Oregonians really need.
I met Ron Wyden in 1986 he was in Congress. He was visiting our local Headstart. Regan was going to end it and Wyden was going to fight for it.Then he fought. Headstart’s still here, so far.

buff.ly/NYFnUKy Sunday night, critical ACA credits were left in the DUST.
Sure, the deal might reopen the gov. It won't bring down healthcare costs, though. Nor will it drop drug prices.
A dreadful weight on our frail healthcare system. Sen. Merkley and Sen. Wyden are right to vote 'NO'.

👇 These are the dems in the house who need to be primaries the most. They are infiltrators, influenced by a very coordinated and well funded controlled opposition PAC that has been in the works for decades. The senate also has their infiltrators (see 🧵 for more details). #primary #newleadership
Thanks, those are senators.
Here's the House side: Problem Solvers Caucus, created by No Labels as their House operation.
Same donors, same "bipartisan" cover for corporate priorities. Coordinated dark money infrastructure, not just PAC donations.

How many more alleged drug boats do we have to continue hearing about until we finally realize, it's all a hoax?! Do we seriously think drug dealers from Venezuela will continuously send out boats knowing they're going to lose their shipment? Want to start a war, create a conspiracy. Signing NDAs!

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
