Feels like the Democrats should maybe put up a website showing all of the Trump Flight Cancellations?

Ask anyone about how impoverished you must be to qualify, and all the hoops you must jump through-- his remarks are willfully ignorant, contemptible and ugly as ever

Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?
