Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Why does this administration always end up doing business like a bad reality TV show!!
Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

Idiots!!!!
I talked to NIH officials, current and former, about what's been happening inside the agency since the Trump administration shut down their grantmaking pipeline in January. Their stories showed just how willing our new leaders are to break the law: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Inside the Collapse at NIH
Administration officials pressured NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

One of the things that keeps us divided into camps is the understandable necessity of focusing on a couple main issues or themes that are important to us to the exclusion of others. Our brains are designed to shut out cognitive dissonance so that we can focus on that which is most important. 1/

The American people have chosen a President who has broken the law, promised to break the law, appointed people who will uphold his breaking the law, and is breaking the law! He is the ultimate final end game for the Uniparty! 1/

I do not believe Trump's administration is simply a battle to return democracy to Conservative leadership. Rather, I believe it is a direct assault, an attempt to assume the levers of power by illegal means. I also fully believe that what we have been witnessing for multiple administrations... 1/
