This veteran has something to say about the fascist in the White House, Trump, labeling anti-fascists (antifa) as terrorists. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👇
This!!!!!!!!
I've been waiting for people who would say it loudly and coherently. Thank you for your service and being a TRUE Patriot. History should never be forgotten for it is always repeated in some fashion.
"Anti Anti-Fascism" directly equals and means "Pro-Fascism"!

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

The GOP gave tax cuts of $2.3 trillion to the rich, but believe food & healthcare is something the country can't afford.
A political party who forces people to go w/o food & healthcare, so the wealthy don't have to pay taxes, is morally bankrupt.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers.
They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts.
Follow the money.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Exactly right. Fighting to keep premiums from spiking is good, but they should really be fighting to truly fix this broken system. #MedicareForAllNOW

Citizens United ruling created/enabled this mess. Time to end it!
Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
We must overturn Citizens United.

Midnight tonight, SNAP ends unless Trump and Republicans suddenly grow a heart and fund it from the emergency reserve. Don’t let anyone tell you they can’t.

ICE nearly struck parents & kids with their cars during a high-speed chase in a school parking lot, then tried to pepper-spray a teacher who stepped in to help students.
“They almost hit me and my daughter three separate times,” said a witness.
