A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.

Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.

Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.

This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.

Medicare for all.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

My friends, there is no ‘Department of War’ or ‘Secretary of War’ in America.

There is a Department of Defense and a Secretary of Defense.

Neither has the right to murder.

“Kill them all” is a confession to murder under American law.

Folks from a local elementary school in my area are trying to raise $1300 to cover the December rent of a family that's struggling due to an ICE abduction. You can donate through this local church's Zelle. Pls note that your donation is for the "Kilmer family" (Kilmer is the name of the school):

The names of Epstein’s victims must be protected, period.

A judge is already moving to redact the victims before the files are released. So if the survivors are shielded, the DOJ has no excuse for any other redactions, right?

This was a fellow human put in harm’s way for no good reason. Her death is a tragedy. May it strengthen our resolve to defy this depraved and lawless regime.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.
