This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

The Ayatollah is *alleged* to have *tried* to kill Trump. Well, guess what, Ted? Trump actually DID kill the Ayatollah. And I bet you wouldn't use the word "murder" to describe that, would you?

And Trump killing Iranian schoolgirls *increases* risks to him and other Americans, you dishonest tool.

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here.

Elizabeth Warren: β€œFor the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school.

Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of β€œprecision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.

Don’t look away β€”we should all see the deadly destruction
