Here is the list of names of the 44 Republicans who voted against HR 10545 which provided forest management and wildfire prevention funding in December.
Every single one of them talking smack about the wildfire response in California need to sit TF down.

Almost 800 incarcerated people are earning between $5.80-$10.24 per day plus $1 an hour to fight the California wildfires as firefighters.
Just because they are incarcerated, doesn't mean they deserve to be exploited. They should be paid a fair wage.

There are roughly 330M people in this country, and I realized this morning that for less than the cost of a cheap cup of coffee a day, a S.

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:
Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984
Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.
Barron was born in March 2006
Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.
Trump’s entire family would be deported.

Folks, as a person who ventures into the right-wing swamp to debate, let me tell say there's no "reaching out" to Trump voters after 9 years. They live in a radicalized bubble. You don't owe them anything. Build & protect your own. They'll only learn through immense pain - & many still wont.

This is true: in Poland, harsh abortion laws and the deaths of women denied care led to a drop in pregnancies
Poland is our Christmas future. Look what else happened after the near total abortion of 21: now only a 1/3 of women state they want to EVER get pregnant. If their goal is more babies, they have it all wrong

Under a third of Polish women aged 18-45 planning to have children
Among women aged 18 and 45, only 32% say they are planning to have children, down from 41% in 2017.

Many of us thought Trump’s mass deportation promise would hit Latinos hard pre-election. But we missed that he managed to convince them he’d only target hardcore criminals, not their undocumented family or friends—because they are ‘good.’
Was this masterful trickery or an epic disconnect?

The Trump team is declining to sign the agreement with General Services Administration.
This means they don't have to disclose their donors for the transition team and they won't be using government servers so people can't use FOIA requests to see information.
So much for transparency.

25% tariff on all Canadian imports will devastate gas prices. Shown here are all the cross border imports of Canadian oil. Keep in mind that a lot of US oil cannot be directly used/refined in the U.S.— we actually export U.S. “light” crude and instead import “heavy” crude to use in U.S.
