Yes, I have been commenting about the $20 billion bailout, but mistakenly saying Venezuela instead of Argentina.

We are killing people in fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela and bailing out Argentina!

All corrupt, just to hide the fact that trump is a pedophile.
I am so sick of this regime.

If we can give Venezuela $20 billion dollars just so some buddies of trump don't lose any return on their investments, then we can have Universal Health Care.
Now is the time to demand it! Thank you, Senator.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

If she would have won:
*Our young people would be able to buy home and start a family, if they wanted
*We won't have rising costs
*Thugs in masks wouldn't be roaming the streets shooting Ministers in the head, zip tying naked children, shooting family dogs
