Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Last week, 17 House Republicans finally stood up against Trump & voted to extend ACA tax credits and lower health care costs.
Now, Senate Republicans must do the same & join Dems to protect affordable health care for millions of Americans.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists β and that they both individually wield such massive power β is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.
