Because safety in numbers is the only protection against a mob boss. If 2 or 10 Republicans voted against Trump's demand, he would have them primaried (replaced). So if every one did, Trump can't single out the weakest in the herd to demolish

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Picture of Rep. Lieu speaking behind a podium with text overlayed above him: β€œHouse Democrats are here in the Capitol working on behalf of the American people, fighting to lower costs and save healthcare.

Where are House Republicans? They are still on vacation. That is unacceptable.”

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

Once ranked last in child wellbeing, New Mexico is now leading the nation in early childhood care.

What's also scary about this is this will prevent the prisoners from evacuating if the plane goes down. The crew could evacuate, the prisoners would be stuck.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."
