The villains here are the people who stole money meant for the needy.

Those are the ONLY villains.

WAY too many Republicans want to blame the Bank for the actions of the bank robbers. www.startribune.com/federal-pros...

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian.

Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

Why encourage people to have babies and then refuse to provide for them or make it easier for the parents to work? Republicans don’t make a lot of sense. #MomsFightForChildcare

This administration is getting bolder in its defiance of the Courts and we should all be alarmed.

From refusing to return a mistakenly deported man to denying freedom of the press, their dangerous ignorance of checks and balances threatens our nation's very foundation.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.

The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Vaccines save lives.

And no, they do not cause autism.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Misinformation about GE crops is rampant. Some facts:

GMOs do NOT change our DNA.
Or cause cancer.
Or autoimmunity.
Or inflammation.
Or any health issues blamed on them.

Every organism has DNA. You’re always eating DNA. Your body digests it the same.

It's it odd that women's rights vary state-by-state, whereas men's rights are the same throughout the country?

It's *almost* as if men are given preferential treatment.

The party that tells young people not to bother with college, bans books, and wants to disband the Department of Eduction is currently annoyed that American workers aren't educated enough for skilled jobs.

It all started with Reagan many years ago. When he deregulated the media, he gave the purveyors of lies, conspiracies, and misinformation the freedom to do and say whatever they wanted.
