If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.

Seniors on original Medicare be aware that the Republicans just announced that if they maintain the House after midterm’s they will do away with Medicare and replace it with a fixed price voucher system. You will have to use the voucher and potentially your own funds to buy private health insurance!

It’s a crisis about fundamental American ideals and structures.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
