Thanks to Republicans’ chaotic policies:
Small businesses have let 120,000 employees go.
Grocery and utility prices are up.
The cost of health care is skyrocketing.
But instead of helping struggling families, Trump is looking into building a giant “Arc de Trump”.

Democrats shouldn’t leave any opportunity to obstruct on the cutting room floor. And we know it works because Trump’s loyalists take to Fox News to whine and complain about the Senate rules. Good.

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?
ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
