Trump said on Monday that he planned to sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns from national security officials in his administration that a sale could create an opportunity for China to steal the planes’ advanced technology.

This is a huge breach of national security.

Ask your friends & family if they still think that this is the land of the free after watching this video.

If they think everyone should be vulnerable to raging lunatics asking the Nazi question, "Show me your papers."

The man is an auditor for ICE. He was one of 16 men arrested who were allegedly attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl in Bloomington, Minnesota. The ICE employee, 41-year-old Alexander Steven Back, could face federal charges, said Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges at a news conference.

"In their first full week back, Republicans chose to dismantle critical land management decisions and protections for landscapes, wildlife, & communities in America's Arctic."
Americans deserve better. Definitely better than whatever House Republicans are cooking up for their billionaire buddies.

We deserve clean, reliable energy, good-paying jobs & affordable healthcare. Democrats won't sacrifice our health, environment, or livelihoods for polluter profits.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

It turns out wealthy fascists linked to the CIA, Sinaloa Cartel and Donald Trump tried to instigate a coup d’état in Mexico by taking advantage of regular people upset about cartel violence. These ghouls have no bottom.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

I agree with James Talarico (D-TX) pedophillia should never be a partisan issue. This isn’t about right vs left, this is about right vs wrong. Americans deserve the truth and the victims deserve closure. #SaveHealthcareNotPedophiles “Dirty Donald” needs to release the files‼️
