At least ten million AMERICANS will lose health insurance coverage if the Democrats fold. Republicans were willing to shut down the government rather than provide AMERICANS with access to health care.

What does it really mean to be a patriot? I’ve been wrestling with this question as our country feels more divided under #DonaldTrump than ever before. Here’s my story — I’d love to hear yours. #TrumpShutdown

When patriotism is reduced to loyalty to one man, we all lose. Instead, it should represent compassion, justice, and equality.

I don't say this very often, but #Trump is right. @POTUS should be blamed for this shutdown.

An ICE officer was “relieved of his duties” and is under investigation after he shoved an Ecuadorean woman whose husband had been arrested and pushed her to the floor at an immigration courthouse in Manhattan, the Department of Homeland Security said on Friday. nyti.ms/46EMKYP

The LAUSD Board quietly voted to renew Superintendent Carvalho’s contract behind closed doors, leaving parents and communities without a voice. Transparency was promised but secrecy prevailed. Read why this matters for every LAUSD family.

Why Democrats Keep Losing to Trump — and How Newsom Could Change That

Carl Petersen @changethelausd.com · 15d

Why do Democrats keep losing to #DonaldTrump — even when they have the facts, the policies, and the votes? Gavin Newsom has shown he might be the one to rewrite the playbook, but he has to follow up his taunts with action. #PROP50

Democrats cannot beat Trump with facts alone. Newsom shows fight, but must back his insults with bold action to protect the vulnerable.

They are perfectly fine with treading as long as it is their side is in power. They haven’t figured out that Trump has no loyalty to them and they will eventually find themselves under foot.
