All this time and they never had a plan.... #healthcare
Republicans have no plan on health care. And we are all going to be paying higher prices and get worse health care as a result.

#ICE is out of control.
US citizen and veteran detained by ICE: I’m here as a veteran, father, and ordinary person who believes in our country. I respect law enforcement, but I also believe accountability is the foundation for respect. I was arrested and detained by ICE agents.

Trump's kiss of death the #KennedyCenter. Everything he touches is broken.
Okay but WHY are the Kennedy Center Honors not being given out at the Kennedy Center? Did they cancel and move it to the Oval because ticket sales were non-existent?

“You accept that there are some sacrifices and there are some very good things that come along with it, too. But our marriage is as strong as it’s ever been, and I think Usha’s really taken to it, and it’s been kind of cool to see how she’s developed and evolved in this new role.”

No one in a strong marriage ever publicly decrees their marriage is strong!
JD Vance says his marriage with Usha is 'as strong as it's ever been'
Yes, the very online vice president has seen the online speculation about his marriage. He said he and the second lady found the recent episode around her wedding ring funny.

the ”kill them all" crew and their evil leader are bombing fisherman's boats who "might" be moving drugs but giving Honduran former DRUG Trafficking president a pass.
He must be getting another gold bar.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

This article had me in tears. When this is all over (and it will end) we will have the count of all of the people and families torn apart. These ARE not the hardened criminals or gangs that the Dumpster fire raged about. Anyone with sense should have known that nobody would be safe.

The release of A House of Dynamite is perfect timing with a rogue president in real time fortifying a bunker with a secretary of defense who watches Netflix enough to complain about the inaccuracy of A House of Dynamite and all of it scares me.

I don't want Congress getting paid during shutdowns, no lifetime retirement and healthcare benefits, no more international travel, only 2 trips to DC per year. We decide pay raises, allowances and expense funds. No stock market no redecorating offices. We decide the rules they must follow

This is the type of rhetoric that drives up the violent attacks from white male extremists on people of minorities, documented workers, and anyone who doesn't "look like them".
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
