On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Didn't he open his newser the other day by reading Scripture? Guess, he hasn't read about the part that it's not good to lie.

These voucher scammers see our kids as dollar signs and they oppose anything that is for the good of the public.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Legit question. As a taxpayer I'd like to know what became of the $50K. Also, why was Maxwell moved to a cushy prison and release the Epstein files.

I was in a Kansas bookstore yesterday, and two women in front of me were discussing the Kansas Eisenhower Museum Director who refused to give Trump a sword from the museum and was fired.

They were appalled, and it became a conversation between several others in line. The news is getting out…

Mr. Trump said "We could have much better health care than we have right now."

No kidding.

20+ million will see their premiums double. 15 million thrown off health care entirely.

Pres. Trump, in case you didn’t know, this is what the shutdown is about.

End your health care cuts.

Congratulations JB Marshall on your excellent Letter to the Editor in today's Arizona Daily Star! Speaker Mike Johnson is so small he seems to have lost the strength to use his gavel. He must swear in #AdelitaGrijalva now, and release the Epstein Files!

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.
