Wow, that pic of Obama et al in the situation room really broke a lot of these people. Amazing.
the photographer was definitely like, "ok everybody, look tough!" but we know they're all just reading tweets with their arms crossed in a country club dining room divided up by bedsheets tacked to the beams

It is time. When Republicans know we need to cut for profit insurers out of the system to save money, we are halfway to finally achieving universal healthcare like the rest of the developed world.

What farm workers do for us.
"Olga" picks lemons in Orange Cove, CA. "I earn $48 per 900lb crate and makes 2-3 crates a 6hr day. Lemon picking is dangerous. I must move and go up and down a 12-foot ladder, while avoiding the thorns on the tree. The weather is cold & the ground is often muddy." #WeFeedYou

So why do we not get this news from tv networks? Are they all afraid of Trump because he sells out our allies to Russia? Seems Trump's immoral support of an invader has inspired Europe to innovative protections against its centuries old enemy.

Texas prosecutor, now a defense counsel, reveals her experience. We have a separate justice system for wealthy. We must protect children instead.
When I went after affluent child abusers as a prosecutor, the defense attorneys came after me not only in the courtroom but personally as well. One of my judges even tried obstruct prosecution. I pray the Epstein survivors receive the justice they deserve.

These Ventura County farm workers are part of a weeding crew. The leek fields have just been planted and workers are hoeing to remove weeds. This is critical as leeks grow slowly at the start and cannot compete with fast-growing weeds for light, water, and nutrients. #WeFeedYou

If the Biden administration had sent federal agents to do a law enforcement operation 10X milder in a white suburban neighborhood in order to apprehend a serial pedophile and violent domestic abuser who happened to be a white Christian pastor, the MAGA crew would have reduced the country to rubble.
NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it.
Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false.
