Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Trump ordered today another lethal strike in the Caribbean, killing everyone on board a vessel. The "elimination" of 6 more people is not law enforcement; it's extrajudicial murder. This illegal campaign, which has now claimed 27 lives, is part of war plan against Venezuela.

Venezuela is 3,000 miles away and this boat had a range of 250 these were likely fisherman or a family killed to appease our Pedophile dictator who is mad that a Venezuelan got a prize he is way too stupid and evil to ever be qualified for. Pedophiles are always pathetic.

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

President Obama endorses Prop 50 — the California redistricting effort:

"California, the whole nation is counting on you."

"Democracy is on the ballot Nov. 4. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years."

Pancreatic cancer is a very bad cancer. But they have been making progress on defeating it. Trump cut the funding & research money for science and cancer research, just as we were making great progress in cancer treatment. Now, even if cures exist, people cannot afford it & insurance won't cover it.
