The US has been put on the human rights watchlist. I could never imagine that happening. It’s heartbreaking. Punishment for having a racist in the White House.

The chaos of Trump’s presidency is consistent with his record of 6 corporate bankruptcies. But in government, failure risks lives. Running government like a business brought us the Flint water crisis.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
