House Republicans aren’t even in DC as the Trump Shutdown wreaks havoc on everyday people. We’re pushing vulnerable GOP representatives to call for a bipartisan deal to save healthcare. If you’re represented by a Republican, demand that they get back to work and end this government shutdown. 👇

CALL NOW: Tell GOP Representatives to get to work and end this shutdown

Her desperate vocal still brings chills. And that intro is one of the best in rock with that siren-like falsetto over Keith's guitar that opens up to the verse. Yikes!

Their White supremacist movement is fragmenting and turning in on itself.

They've legitimatized bad behavior to get power.

And that behavior of human frailty is bound to destroy itself.

Show us the proof, the hard evidence of why trump needs that authority Stephen.

You know, like you did with the 2020 election voter fraud.

Take it through the courts.

We need more proof than your word.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
