The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

A lot of people are going to be hungry stating tomorrow and will be looking for assistance. Will you be part of the community that feeds the hungry or are you part of the Gold Toilet Posse who pushes the lie that SNAP benefits are being used by those who are gaming the system.

✋🏻Hands in the air if you’ve had a PERFECT MRI!
Anyone who has ever had a doctor order up an MRI knows it is always just to search for perfection. Because that’s totally how healthcare works. Also, a 6 month follow up after a yearly physical is also totes normal.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.
