Remember “sleepy Joe Biden“ ? Meet “fast asleep Donald Trump”..snoozing at his press conference. Between his sleeping & GOP Congress on vacation, & Trump appealing decision to actually feed hungry kids, we’re in world of hurt. But help is on the way as we organize for every election going forward.

About novel, “the great Gatsby”.
Written right before the Great Depression; it’s a tragedy; selfishness of the newly rich is the backdrop of the novel; so, that was a perfect theme for Trump’s Halloween party…especially as he ignored a court order to feed the hungry. you can’t make this stuff up.

The federal government is shut down because Trump & Congressional Republicans want higher healthcare costs for working people, even stripping care from millions.
Why? To give tax giveaways to billionaires, while expanding the fastest growing class in America: the working poor.

For months, President Trump has tried to dismiss questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, notably denying that he had been the author of a lewd birthday message to the financier and sex offender.
This week, Congress released the message — and many more like it. Listen to "The Daily."
