UK Armed Forces Undersecretary Alistair Carns on Trump’s statement that they stayed behind the front lines in Afghanistan: “I served 5 tours alongside Americans. We shed blood, sweat and tears together. There’s only one thing worse than working with allies - and that is working without them.”

This is how New Jersey does it: Bruce Springsteen tells ICE "Get the F out" as he urges people to "stand against heavily armed mass federal troops invading an American city using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens." He then dedicated the song “The Promised Land” to Renee Good.

I refuse to stay silent while politicians claim to stand with hard-working Americans then turn around & do the bidding of corporations.

This week, House Dems showed what it looks like to get it done by forcing a vote on Healthcare tax credits. We chose hard-working Americans over special interests!

America’s gun violence epidemic isn’t a coincidence—it’s the result of lax gun laws. No other nation accepts this level of violence in exchange for unfettered access to guns, so why should we?

October's jobs report looked awful because about 150,000 govt jobs vanished after that Musk 'fork in the road' email. That's a one-time shock. The bigger concern is that even outside October, job growth has slowed across both public and private sectors -- and may even be going backward.
