Lisa Murkowski Slammed After Criticizing Massive Budget Bill She Just Voted For A coward and sell out.

Both a coward and sell out.

Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’

As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

Mark Warner: "It will move us as a nation aback to the same percentage of uninsured we had before Obamacare. It's not like these people are not gonna get sick. They're gonna show up at the emergency room. Rural hospitals are gonna shut down ... it's cruel"

Missouri Supreme Court defies voters, halts abortions in the state Despite passage of a constitutional amendment last fall, the ping-pong battle over "reproductive freedom" continues.
