Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

Wow, they did all that and got *two* suspected gang members? Suspected? Wow. And two of them? Wow.

Wow, that is impressive. Wow, when are we throwing these heroes a parade? Wow.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Exclusive: Chief Justice “Stonewalls Congress" on PACER Hack, Senator Says The Courts sidestep a congressional request for independent review. Post-hack procedures have significantly reduced transparency in the judicial system.

In the last two months, federal courts and prosecutors have dramatically changed how they file documents leaving the public in the dark on hundreds of court filings and dockets that should be open and accessible.

Ronald Reagan signed EMTALA.
EMTALA was enacted ensure equal patient access to emergency medical care and to prevent the practice of patient dumping, in which uninsured patients were transferred, solely for financial reasons, from private to public hospitals without consideration

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans?

They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs?

What do the 20+ million think about that?
