Democrats made an offer to Republicans to re-open the government and extend the ACA tax credits for one year.
We’re calling their bluff.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.
But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.
Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...
There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.
These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

Don't know how this goes over with people raised in other faiths.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Such comparisons also sit uneasily alongside the many angry calls at this event for retribution against and the vanquishing of their perceived enemies (roughly half of their fellow citizens). Not exactly what Jesus would do, but whatevs
