Democrat. Political activist. Influencer. Author of an invaluable book about Obama's early political career and grassroots organizing efforts. A must-read for readers interested in grassroots politics and campaign strategies. Did I mention I am a Democrat?
Trump scolded a @cnn.com reporter for not smiling enough. Trump said when a person never smiles, it means they are lying.

It really pisses me off that Trump and his billionaire friends have gotten richer while other people struggle.

Donald Trump rescinds an invitation to Canada to join his 'Board of Dictators,' which Canada never accepted in the first place.
The way to defeat Trumpism is by resisting. Be sure to vote for the midterms and return Democrats to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House.

He’s weaponizing starvation — using the hunger of the American people as a bargaining chip. This isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty. It’s inhuman.

This is so sad. Deepest condolences to Darren and Cindy Bailey on the heartbreaking loss of their son Zachary, his wife Kelsey, and their children Vada Rose and Samuel in a tragic accident.
And for their grandson Finn, who lost his parents and siblings.

Republicans are LYING!
They know it!
They know it!
Republicans are lying that the ACA covers undocumented individuals.
It does not.
The ACA law states an “individual must be a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States” to purchase a plan. Democrats have not proposed any changes to that provision.

Yesterday, I visited the ICE detention center in Broadview. The boarded-up windows and doors raise troubling questions about what’s happening inside. I’m grateful to the neighbors on the ground demanding accountability and standing up for human rights.
