Sen. Shaheen: I had a meeting with some constituents last Friday. One was a small business owner who had cancer. He said, 'If I didn't have that insurance through the ACA, I would not have gotten my cancer treated, and I would be dead by now.' That's what this fight is about.

This is why weโ€™re seeing cracks. Their bullshit propaganda blaming democrats isnโ€™t working. By large margins.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The Trump administration & Republicans think it's okay to send untrained, unprofessional, violent forces to brutalize and terrorize the American people.

Call to Activism - Joe Gallina

A Food bank director reveals how DIRE it is for Republicans to allow SNAP benefits to lapse: โ€œfor every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. Thereโ€™s no way we can meet that gap.โ€

Trump is destroying families.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

I loved Singapore, it was a BCC then and I was temporarily stationed at Nee Soon with British forces. Many crazy drunken nights at the Britannia Club on Queens Toad, I think. I used to wander onto areas that no Westerners ever went and took Polaroid pics of people and the adored it. Loved Asia.
