You can't name one thing America needs from Russia.
There's a long list of things America needs from Canada.
So why is Trump kissing Putin's ass and picking fights with Canada?
This is why he has bankrupted every business he ever started.

The man who ran on a platform of "America First" and promised no involvement in foreign wars is now launching wars of choice in Nigeria, Venezuela, Syria, and Lebanon.
Meanwhile, he is verbally attacking our oldest and closest allies.

Not only does this intentionally violate the First Amendment to the US Constitution, it’s vile to watch mean-spirited, selfish ghouls who starve the poor and kidnap people for their skin color sanctimoniously pretending they follow any of the teachings of Jesus.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Should be pretty clear that without House commitment on a vote on ACA extensions, it is purely symbolic as part of the Senate deal
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
