Yesterday, I asked Americans to tell me what a DOUBLING of health care premiums would mean for their families.

The SC allowing Trump to refuse to spend Congressionally appropriated funds makes budget negotiations impossible. This is breakdown of constitutional order stuff. There is no political way out of the shutdown if Trump can violate any agreement. And he has said he will. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The Supreme Court’s newest decision could make it impossible to end the shutdown

How do you negotiate with a man who can break his promises at any time?

What is wild is that I’ve not heard of Private Snafu!

Scuttlebum, from what little I’ve found thus far, was featured in a series of posters displayed at the Damage Control Training Center at Philadelphia. Aside from his illustrator (Bil Sullivan), that’s it. I’ve found nothing else.
