Getting Maduro does not benefit the average American but every Americans and Venezuelans will have to pay the price for the outcomes of Trumps choices. Congress is quite.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

It costs nothing for you to share this.

For every dollar you donate to your local food pantry you’ll be providing up to 10 meals to families in need this holiday season.

Trump and Republicans refuse to fight for American families, but I refuse to give up on them.

I simply cannot vote to do nothing to help protect them from Trump’s vindictive efforts in exchange for a vague promise from the least trustworthy Republican party in our nation’s history.

This has change my outlook on Halloween.
I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

4.4 million veterans live in rural America, many of whom are older and rely on Medicaid. With Republicans slashing funding, struggling rural hospitals face even greater challenges, putting veterans' lives at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Explain, how the U.S. bailing out Argentina for $20B, while China buys soybeans from them instead of U.S. farmers, is putting "America-First?"

Also, dissolving ACA Healthcare, raising health insurance for ALL Americans, but finding $200M for a ballroom and tax cuts for the rich.

Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on.

Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

every mayoral/city council candidate could easily promise to make it so housing can only be purchased by people if those people live in it, and win by 80 points

Investors snap up growing share of US homes as traditional buyers struggle to afford one
Real estate investors are buying a larger share of U.S. homes as high prices and borrowing costs deter traditional buyers.

We have to acknowledge this and hope both parties are accountable.
Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. A senator and his wife nearly killed.
The suspect had a hit list.
And what did we do?
We blamed each other. We justified. We spun.

Political violence isn’t coming—it’s here. And we’re normalizing it.
