Trump has pledged to restore Confederate names to military bases, even though it would violate a statute passed by Congress. These names belong to traitors who led a rebellion against America.

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The death and destruction we're seeing now is 100% bc of Trump & Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

These aren’t just numbers. They’re families, seniors, and kids who rely on Medicaid every single day.

Republicans just voted to cut this vital care—putting millions at risk.

We should be strengthening Medicaid, not gutting it.

This is why healthcare is too expensive.

"Here’s a wild-but-true factoid: 10 of the 20 largest companies on the new Fortune 500 list derive profit from the 340B program. I guess you can’t throw off tens of billions of profits without titans of industry figuring out how to get their hands on it."

Newsom says the National Guard troops are bored and having nothing to do. So, give them something to do.

Surely the City of Los Angeles has toilets to clean, graffiti to remove, and other important jobs this government labor can be doing.
