And to collect intel. Iโ€™m sure he learned much in that call.

Itโ€™s called the Santa Claus or the Christmas effect๐Ÿคฎ republicans bankrupt the country for their rich friends and democrats try to repair the damage as much as possible. Tax the fucking rich and churches, and you will see a better result for your citizens.

Hopefully, when the time comes for the Blue Wave, we will have an attorney general with a spine.

โ€œI know they would do anything, that they would hurt people, that theyโ€™ve murdered people... I know that intellectually. But I still did not expect them to gas a chill, friendly protest full of nurses and teachers and children and the elderly.โ€

Jon, you have to let your guests finish their points. You kept interrupting Thaler and I was totally lost. He says I want to make two points. You say please. He gets one point out and interruption. Consequently I didnโ€™t hear him finish a point he was trying to make. Except his point about the Mets.

Nobody has addressed whether him ordering an invasion of an ally and the treaty organization we are both in is a legal order. I am hoping the military will stand with the people, not this wannabe dictator.

Reminds me of the Tennessee governor โ€” Blanton, I think โ€” who was in that side business. But he got his ass kicked for doing it.

When Congress returns in January, the House will vote on a 3yr extension of ACA tax credits, helping us prevent the worst of this crisis.

Leader Thune has refused to say he'll put the bill up for a vote in the Senate.

The longer he delays, the more Americans pay. Give us the vote.

Trump commuted the sentence of Philip Esformes, behind a $1.3B Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Florida Senator Rick Scott led a company that paid $1.7B for Medicare fraud. This is the party pretending to care about Medicare and Medicaid fraud.

Inside Stephen Millerโ€™s Dark Plot to Build a MAGA Terror State He is descended from Russian Jewsโ€”you know, the kind of people who were once denounced as alien and unassimilable. Today, his project is to unleash government persecution of those he deems alien and unassimilable. How far will Millerโ€™s sadistic designs go?
