Huge sports fan! Orioles and Ravens are my hometown teams. I follow college sports too. Love animals. Nothing better than sitting on the beach listening to the waves.

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

America overwhelmingly supports the survivors’ demand for complete disclosure of what the government knows about the billion-dollar Epstein global trafficking ring. Stop the excuses and deflections—release the file.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?
Character isn't something you tell people about.
It's something you live.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

This country does not need two right wing parties.
If you don't stand with American socialism, get off our roads, off our water supplies, off our public power grids, off our socialist created internet, and build yourself a damn outhouse.

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.
End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Republicans are taking away health care from 15 million Americans.
They are doubling premiums for 20 million.
Now, they are illegally withholding emergency SNAP funding that keeps millions of children from going hungry.
All so they can give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%.

I just went to the House floor to demand that Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the GOP gaveled out without even recognizing us.
We’re not going anywhere. I’m here with Leader Jeffries and Adelita Grijalva. Speaker Johnson must swear her in.

It’s baffling to me that the same people fighting for a ballroom that will be used by the elite for frivolous tax-payer funded parties, are the same ones fighting against spending money on healthcare for American citizens. Make that make sense.
