Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.

I agree. I read that, like NPR and PBS, they receive a substantial amount of their operating funds from the federal government. I would like to see private donations supplant the need for federal funds for all of these institutions. I support PBS & am ready to do more. Who is with me? #USDemocracy

Neither requires "upgrading." There is also something going on with the U.S. Holocaust Museum. The Doctors Rybacki made a substantial donation to the latter. Trump and the government don't own the Smithsonian. James Smithson set up the Public Trust. The Smithsonian belongs to the People. Hands Off.

They also are “upgrading” the African American museum and the museum of the American Indian—both of which are stunning, educational and culturally significant as they are. I’m white. They are giving new meaning to “whitewashing” history. I’m so angry about this. #USDemocracy #DemValues #BlueCrew
