Not enough space to go through all the good things that Democrats did, including Obamacare, huge infrastructure bill, health research, clean energy, AIDS treatment and prevention around the world, not to mention Medicare, Social Security, and Headstart.

I hope it's a Blue Tsunami coming Sen. Boxer. Democrats are going to save the country from Trump and MAGA.

It’s very difficult when Dems don’t stick together My message: we can’t say we’re a big tent as we said election night & then freak out when we disagree. I’m not happy about it, but big blue wave coming because united GOP refused to care for the people who need them the most, and everybody knows it.

This bill doesn’t address the core issue that millions of Americans will no longer be able to afford ACA insurance coverage next year. I’m willing to work with anyone to create a path forward but this isn’t it.

Sleepy Don Sen. Boxer. Pretty much sums up both his Presidencies so far.

The fast asleep orange
man gave forty billion of
our dollars to Argentina.
That could have saved
Healthcare for
Millions of Americans for
a year with plenty left over to feed families in need.
Now that your Argentine buddy is fat and happy
sit down with Democrats
and end your shutdown. Now.

Remember β€œsleepy Joe Bidenβ€œ ? Meet β€œfast asleep Donald Trump”..snoozing at his press conference. Between his sleeping & GOP Congress on vacation, & Trump appealing decision to actually feed hungry kids, we’re in world of hurt. But help is on the way as we organize for every election going forward.

Tariffs are taxes – anybody can look it up in the dictionary. Where are the administration’s ideas to lower costs for American families?

See how Trump reacted when a gentleman at his presser fainted. Trump looked really annoyed because it took attention away from him. A metaphor for how Trump treats the people. He doesn’t care if we fall or are sick or lose jobs, or are hungry. Thank goodness America is catching on. Big time.

To Speaker Emerita Pelosi: Thank you for your courage, fearlessness and focus. You knew the issues like nobody else; you knew the challenges like nobody else: you got it done like nobody else; you were driven to make life better for the people without a voice. And thank you for being my friend.

Article One of the Constitution is a directive, not a suggestion. The power to impose and collect taxes and duties rests solely with the Congress and is a core component of our democracy’s balance of powers. (1/4)

From far and wide America has spoken. The message is clear. We want our country back. More very hard work ahead.

Trump seems to be asking for even lower approval numbers.
He can’t remember who he pardoned;
He might send ground troops to Africa;
He doesn’t think ICE is doing enough despite their reign of terror!
He lies about prices
he says are going down. Bet he never went to a
Grocery store in his
life. οΏΌ

About novel, β€œthe great Gatsby”.
Written right before the Great Depression; it’s a tragedy; selfishness of the newly rich is the backdrop of the novel; so, that was a perfect theme for Trump’s Halloween party…especially as he ignored a court order to feed the hungry. you can’t make this stuff up.

I agree Trump does not care a whit about people going hungry. Or people getting blown up on open seas. Or harming the planet. Or disappearing people. Or caring about those who are jobless due to him. The point is he may be setting stage to release food stamps and he needs to know we see through it.

Someone must’ve shown Trump the worst polls for any modern president in history so now he says β€œI would be honored” to make food stamps available. Newsflash: no one will honor you for doing what the law requires & your stupidly in saying those who are going hungry are β€œDemocratsβ€œ .

Guess who has the second highest percentage of people on SNAP? Louisiana. So speaker Johnson not only are your people going to get hit with impossible health insurance premium increases, but they also desperately need nutrition. Time to stop the paid Vacation for Congress while β€œRome burns”.

I call it β€œthe circle of stupidβ€œ
1.create a problem. 2.Everyone is concerned. 3. send staff to fix it.
4. It’s still a problem.
5.Then you close the circle by trying to get credit for what staff did.
6. It would have been way better if you left it alone in the first place.

So billions for Argentina; plenty $ at Justice Dept for Trump to ask for hundreds of millions for himself; funds running over for a luxury foreign trip; plenty to pay House members who are on a longer vacation than anyone;but nothing for hungry kids & health insurance for millions.
Yes on 50 in Ca.!
