A really good example of making sure the feds don't get the optics they want, but the optics you want.

These protests show how the regime is weaker than it appears. Laugh at the regime. It’s the one thing fascists can’t stand.

The Prez behaved badly, they simply shrugged and played their cards. We are weak and stupid, they are smart and strategic

Two very old women? What a nightmare for our U.S. Senate. Does she see this as her retirement job? Stay home, send young people, ready to fight for us.

How is the government spending taxpayers dollars?

OMB is using footnotes to hide how and whether things are actually being funded.

But taxpayers deserve full transparency. So we're suing.

OMB’s latest effort to conceal spending data - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

OMB should not be doling out funds behind closed doors and must make public the contents of legally binding spend plans that apportion fund. Full transparency is critical for effective oversight.

Trump can't deliver the lower costs he promised. All he has is cruelty and revenge.

Cuomo is unable to confront him because they share the same billionaire donors. Just look at his statement last night.

I will stand up for this city and with our Attorney General.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.
