It’s wild how many of the ICE/CBP detentions are turning out to be illegal — and yet in the US system, there are no consequences for the agents and no recourse for the victims.

AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

In areas hit hard by Typhoon Kalmaegi, our #ChefsForPhilippines restaurant partners are working around the clock to ensure their neighbors have something to eat. Maria Lina Catering—who also supported our response after the earthquake in Cebu—is once again serving families impacted by disaster.

As a combat vet myself (Afghanistan 2007) I agree. There are some Republicans who are vets, but there are many more Dems by comparison these days
Today is Veterans Day, a day that Trump and Republicans pretend to care about those who served their country.
Unless it's a PR opportunity, troops, veterans, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice, never cross their mind.

The was a Republican shutdown because the GOP wouldn't negotiate — and Dems made that about their unwillingness to negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies.
If Dems vote for this, the answer to the "why did you do it for the past 40 days?" question becomes very difficult to answer.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

A century ago America had socialists who ran for President. They were fearless prophets, speaking truth to power.
The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny.
Some decry this view as "socialism."
I call it fair.
