Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

If nothing else, fuss at your Republican senator from this angle.
ATTENTION: Buried in this bill is a provision that forbids federal judges from challenging the Trump administration with citations.
This is the END of the concept of checks and balances in America. Trump will be a full blown dictator with nothing stopping him.

I've been trying to say for months now, perhaps unsuccessfully/awkwardly, that we need to make the GOP legislators fear their constituents (politically), more than they fear the WH. They CARE about their jobs.
