the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

β€œHealth care is a basic, fundamental human right. I will fight for health care like the health care that saved my life. #PASenateDebate.”
