'Doddering old man': Trump’s Russia-Alaska blunder fuels concerns During his nearly 90-minute Monday morning press conference declaring an β€œemergency” and announcing that he is federalizing the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police force despite crime being at a 30-y...

β€œYou know, I’m going to see Putin, I’m going to Russia on Friday,” Trump said, stressing β€œPutin” and β€œRussia.” But the President’s remark about going to β€œRussia” was incorrect. The meeting on Friday with Putin is scheduled to be in Alaska, not Russia.

Trump administration slashes DC’s security funding by 44% - WTOP News While President Donald Trump said crime in the District is β€œtotally out of control,” his administration said it will cut security funding for the D.C. area.

If Trump is so concerned about crime, then why did he slash DC Security funding by 44%? So the cut and trump’s DC takeover will only endanger our families, our freedoms, and our futures.

These GOP Lawmakers Referred Constituents to the CFPB for Help. Then They Voted to Gut the Agency. Many of the same Republican lawmakers who have targeted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for cuts have collectively directed thousands of constituents’ complaints about banks, credit cards,…

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, voted for cuts to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but he’s also routed more than 800 of his constituents’ complaints to the agency β€” the most of any current lawmaker from either party, ProPublica found.

So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.

The One Battle Democrats Must Fight...And Why Too Many Still Won’t How our leaders are squandering the tools they already have to stop Trump’s advance.

If we don’t force our leaders to act now, we’ll lose before the next election even matters. Our freedoms won’t be lost to Republicans...they’ll be lost to Democratic inaction.πŸ‘‡

it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving

She suffers from scoliosis & panic attacks and is having trouble obtaining her meds.

Allison Bustillo Chinchilla, shown with her younger brother

Allison Bustillo Chinchilla, shown with her brother, arrived in the US from Honduras when she was 8.

Now 20, she's a CNA & scholarship recipient.

On Feb 20, the FBI mistakenly raided her family's apartment in Charlotte, NC, looking for a former tenant. Then they turned Allison over to ICE.

This has to stop. Keep visiting these ICE offices, Democratic congressional representatives!

This is Ohio’s democracy in action.

On Aug. 9, thousands lined 8 miles of High Street, hand in hand β€” for Medicaid, immigrants, truth, and justice. Against corruption, cruelty, and lies.

Ohio doesn’t sit down.
We link up.
We fight back.
And we’re just getting started.

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles
