For 1/10 of what 47 just spent on tax cuts to the rich, we could have 10 years of guaranteeing people affordable health insurance in America.
If the GOP doesn't agree to extend the ACA subsidies, which should've been written into law in the 1st place, 22 million will be in serious pain.

I think America is asleep.
We are throwing immigrants into detention camps rather than using the successful bond system as we have in the past.
This is costing us roughly $70-$100 million per week.
And people are being tortured and killed at these camps.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.
And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.
We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

Remember: the Supreme Court handed Trump a permission slip to break the law...with both hands...and not lose a minute of sleep.
And the Justices who blessed it? They're operating at a level of corruption we haven’t seen....since judges took bribes in livestock.

What this country needs is a modern iteration of the French revolution. Nothing will change until armed masses descend on all three branches of government and force these criminals from office.
It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

How many times a day is this happening to American citizens, never mind immigrants?
US Citizen, with a valid drivers license, is traumatized by ICE at a checkpoint if FL.
Her crime, per ICE — she didn’t roll down her window far enough.
All of this…because they couldn’t be bothered to check her ID.
What are we doing? Why are these gestapo tactics being allowed to continue?
