Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.

Before every meeting or even phone call with Zelinskyy, Trump first calls Putin. That should tell you something.
It is a strictly one-way street since he never calls Zelinskyy, EU leaders, or anyone else before talking with Putin.

One officer was accused of spreading a nude photo of a woman he knew.
Another was found responsible for acts of domestic violence and sexual assault.
In spite of their disciplinary records, the Chicago Police Department promoted both of them.

Chicago Promoted Two Police Officers After Investigators Found They Engaged in Sexual Misconduct
