Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.
I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldnโt go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense
I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

This below can happen to any of us. The ones who do not support Donald Trump. He doesnโt follow court orders and itโs just a matter of time until weโre in a full dictatorship. We need to protest in millions not thousands. We need to do it for however long it takes to save ourselves.
