Blue States should work together fund their own regional CDC that works off research & science. Take the money from the funds they send to the FEDS. Screw the Feds, they don't provide the service, they don't get the MONEY.. let red states support themselves for once.

When you hire a bankrupt, twice impeached, 36 count felon to run the country, you get nothing but bottom of the barrel losers to work with him... This is why MAGA is known as some of the stupidest people in the country.. They hired that guy.

God Bless those who use their celebrity to speak up, stand up, and SHOW up for their country! Way too many fear losing fans who don't love America..Fuck THEM...Way too many forget what America did for THEM. Way too many don't deserve to be revered. Way too many are shameful.

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

After 10 long days, the hearing challenging Texas' gerrymandering ended. By the end, all of legacy media had vanished. But Democracy Docket stayed to keep you informed about just how far Republicans went to manipulate the state’s maps.

Since the Federal Government is pulling back funding and no longer providing services we expect, can't California and other blue states who send more money to the feds than they get stop sending so much? For every $dollar the orange crook witholds, YOU withhold TWO!

Donald Trump's reckless and cruel leadership has pushed families to the brink.

While he uses shutdowns to scapegoat workers, California is stepping up by providing 248,000 federal workers with critical state protections and relief.

We don’t treat public servants as pawns.

The Washington Post: “Trump administration begins laying off federal workers amid shutdown.”
