Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which means she has considerable power to influence the administration but she prefers to mumble weak protestations to the media

Despite all of Susan Collins’s **concerns**, Russ Vought, who she voted to confirm, still went ahead and fired a boatload of hard-working Americans.

Utahns, this was posted in Senator John Curtis’ weekly newsletter, near the bottom of the page.

He’s blaming Dems, but losing healthcare when premiums rise by triple digits come January, is a real problem. Sound bites aside.

Still no uniform, no badges, vests and internal lights can all be bought by non-cops,

So how is a citizen supposed to know if these thugs are legitimate, and have any authority to give orders?

Govs and mayors need to outlaw anyone not fully vouched and uniformed interacting with citizens! Jail!!!

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.
