The Speaker just had us vote to rename the Gulf of Mexico as retirement accounts are tanking, prices are up, and our small businesses are wondering if they can survive the trade war.

There are so many other bills we could bring to the floor that would solve real problems.

The LOC is a research library.

It collects millions of items.

Materials may be used on-site only.

Patrons must be 16 or older.

Leavitt is entirely full of shit.

Long before Trump, a study by Princeton found that the vast majority of legislation passed in Washington helped companies and the wealthy, not average Americans. Unfortunately, this falls on the shoulders of Dems as well as Republicans.

These People Are Never Happy And I don't think they ever will be.

"They’ve gotten just about everything they want, and it’s not enough. It’s never enough. These people are never happy. They crave outrage. They demand purity. They’re apoplectic that the first American pope actually reads his Bible."

He's losing court cases. He's losing his trade war. His cabinet is a disaster. Voters are turning out against his people and ideals. He's unpopular. He looks weaker everyday.
The only thing he has is executive orders and firing his own people.
It's early, keep fighting, we're going to win this. πŸ’™

The U.S. believes Iran is plotting to assassinate former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton. In response, Trump withdrew Bolton’s Secret Service detail, leaving him exposed to a foreign adversary despite the ongoing threat.

For nearly a century, the United States has led the world in scientific and technological innovation, and we've reaped uncountable economic benefits from it.

This happened because scientists have been allowed to pursue truth and discovery wherever they may lead. We abandon that at our own peril

Every single member of this "Administration" must be regularly dragged before Congress and dismantled in this way. It's a key part of the tapestry of #resistance.

This would be a good message for your 5Calls.org to your Senators and Congressional Representative. πŸ˜ƒ

New: a man 'disappeared' by ICE was not included on a government list of people deported to El Salvador's mega prison. But we found his name in a hacked flight manifest to the country. Raises questions about how much the government knows about who it is deporting www.404media.co/man-disappea...

If they don't show identification they are just criminals kidnapping people in broad daylight and we the people should react accordingly. Especially if your skin is white like mine.

Fuck Naomi Kristi. Fuck Trump. And as always fuck ICE.

They'll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real generations long damage to the United States and the West in exchange for essentially nothing of value.
