Also, add this to the long list of illegal thing Trump has done. Public Law 88-260 requires any name change to have congressional approval. The building was designated as a living memorial to JFK and the law has pretty strict rules on naming rights.

Many buildings and monuments in Italy that were named after Mussolini had their names removed or changed after World War II in order to distance the country from his fascist regime. I predict the same will happen here.

Suozzi: "In my district, if you make $130,000 & you're a family of 4, you now pay 8.5% of your income for health insurance - $10k to $11,000 a year. That's gonna go up to $30k a year, which means your premium is going to increase $1,500 a month. That's crazy. People are not gonna buy the insurance"

maybe if half the fbi weren't out busting people for having brown skin, and the other half of the fbi "cleaning" the epstein files they'd have agents to do a proper manhunt for an *actual* dangerous person.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Spoiler alert: The FCC changed the wording of their website in real time and got rid of the word 'independent'.
Implicitly it now reads 'arselickers'.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
