If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain. Emily Dickinson

How about a weekly address from someone in the party that is actually inspiring , calling out specific issues of illegal behavior that seem to happen on a daily basis? How about a basic “Messaging 101” course on how to not lose control of the headlines to the detriment of the American people??

More out of touch rhetoric coming out of the White House.
My health insurance premium just went up over $1000 per month. A one time refund of $1K-$2K is not “gignatic”.
