It is well past time for the Democrats to work on getting Americans what every other industrialized nations on earth have, single payer universal health care! In all nations that adopted single payer univeral health care the cost went down! out for-profit health system is killing us!

There is no end to the hatred Trump has for anyone that tries to hold him accountable. I await the day when anything sticks to the Teflon Don.

I would pay to see ANY member of the Trump administration (crime family) to actually go to prison!

I believe we need a new constitutional amendment. Yes I know they are next to impossible to get, but I think the VAST majority of voters would support this.

Money is not speech it is property. Corporations are not people. Only people may contribute to a political group to a limited amount.

I completely agree with you. I would add that only humans (voters) may give money to ANY political organization. There should be no PACs, no corporate giving. There should also be a limit of say $5,000 so that rich people cannot buy votes.

I am glad to read this. The media CANNOT just give up their first amendment rights. It is in the first amendment because it is vital for the continuence of our republic.

Thank you AOC for your support of people that MUST have drugs in order to remain healthy. I ask you in the near future to support what every other industrialized nations on earth have which is single payer universal health care. It would be cheaper and ALL people would be covered.

The Republicans are trying to 'cheat' there way to retaining power in the house. It is upon us to vote in massive numbers to remove the Republicans in the house regardless of how they gerrymander.

It really did not take long to get to the "show me your papers" phase of authroitarian rule. At all times, we MUST resist this and not capitulate!

We all must understand that the US media is completely compromised. Do not rely on US media to give you fair news. I use the Irish Times and the BBC for real news.

I support this type of resistance. This is all illegal by the fourth amendment (probable cause) and the sixth amendment (... confronted with the witnesses against him [not when ICE are masked]). When will some courageous lawyers start taking these ICE thugs to court?

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 1d

The time is NOW for Americans to receive what every other industrialized nations on earth already have, single payer universal healthcare! It is cheaper the the for-profit system we have now and people will not end up in bankruptcy.

Congressman Jeffries, please remeber this treatment when Democrats control the house. We are at war with an authoritarian regime. We can no longer afford to 'play nice'. It is time to play hard ball and get America back to what it should be.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 1d

This is all illegal by the 4th amendment (probable cause). I know that SCOTUS said it was OK, but that is complete BS. The fourth amendment is NOT complex. Only ignoring it could SCOTUS say this was OK.

Good Job! Never capitulate to illegal requests!

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 1d

This is assault. We will not be safe until we are able to arrest and convict these criminals for their crimes.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 1d

While I'm willing to bet there might be a few Republican congress people that actually do try to represent their consituencies, the VAST majority of Republican care only about enriching themselves. Americans need to wake up and see how they are being used and vote out EVERY Republican.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 1d

The Republicans have always had a plan for health care. They want to suck the maximum amount of money from people that are hurt or ill. Once all of the money has been taken, they would like you to die down wind. We MUST have single payer universal healthcare! Anything less will kill us.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 1d

I agree with this assessment. Once Democrats regain power, they must legislate to make the take over of the Justice department impossible.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 1d

I am so glad to see the energy that these younger activists are giving us. We have to move away from the calcified old thinking (and people) of the past and embrace the resistance. We are at war with an authoritative government. Half measures will not suffice.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 1d

This woman is so completely unqualified for the position she holds it is incomprehensible to me. Beyond that, making a video to project your political views in a public place is illegal and immoral.

Standing up to illegal entry against no warrant is the right thing to do. More of this please!

I had the measles as a kid. I was born in 1956 so I missed the vaccine. It was the sickest I think I ever was as a child. Why would anyone want to subject kids to this illness when there is a vaccine. No, vaccines do NOT cause autism.

This blatantly illegal behavior has to stop. Local authorities CAN arrest federal agents if that federal agent breaks the law. I count at least two illegal offenses that this story outlines. It is time for our local authorities to do what they are supposed to do which is to protect and defend.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 1d

ICE is in no way shape or form, following the rule of law. That is NOT their mission. They are there to intimidate. Once Democrats are in power, ICE MUST be shuttered or at the very least defunded.
