We are spending $1 trillion every year on the military. That's more than the next NINE nations combined.
Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country.
Congress needs to get its priorities straight.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Border Patrol is continuing raids on farm workers in Ventura County, especially Moorpark and Oxnard.
Agents are circling like sharks. Farm workers in areas with heightened activity should check in on each other and take steps to stay safe. Report what you see to us.

Some past presidencies were hobbled when popular support collapsed. Trump might avoid that fate.

Q: “Can you guarantee Medicare, Medicaid, SS will not be touched?”

TRANSLATION: They’ll cut it with “fraud” as a cover — cutting taxes for the rich while exploding the deficit. He thinks you won’t get it.

Day one of Obama's term, the GOP was facing the same odds and declared unanimously and unambiguously that they would not help him a lick and anyone who didn't like it could eat shit. It largely worked, and they left the literal playbook for the Dems - who have instantly surrendered.
"What leverage do we have?" says Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "They control the House, the Senate and the presidency; it's their government."
