She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment. Now come on now.
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

BREAKING: Congress just sold us out—seniors, kids, and working parents. All to give the rich ANOTHER tax break. It's unacceptable.
We're fighting back. Call (855) 975-8722 and let's let them hear it.

At a time when inequalities of income and wealth in America are wider than they have been in more than 80 years, Trump's big ugly bill is utterly shameful.
It’s now up to us to make sure Republicans pay the price at the ballot box.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.
Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.
Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.
Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.
Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

President Trump is planning to sign an executive order designating English as the official language of the U.S., a White House aide said on Friday.
Trump to Sign Order Designating English as Official Language of the U.S.
The order is expected to be largely symbolic but would be a victory for America’s English-only movement, which has long had ties to efforts to reduce immigration and restrict bilingual education.

Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction.
This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits.
Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.
