I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

It’s not a coincidence that Trump is simultaneously flaunting a gilded White House and lavish parties at Mar-a-Lago while also making life harder for those who are not wealthy.

He doesn’t fear the poor and enjoys our hardship.

Our suffering pairs with his gluttonous appetites better than any wine.
