If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

The healthcare system in this country is an abomination. Another thing we should be ashamed of.
The increases are dreadful, but what a fucked up country where you don't get free healthcare

That kind of increase is insane.
Republicans clearly do not have the best interest of Americans at heart and should be removed from the political floor.

A tweet from the official Department of Homeland Security account tags @SenatorDurbin and reads: โ.@SenatorDurbin, this is SHAMEFUL. Want to talk about TERRORIZING? How about condemn the terrorist attacks and mass assaults against our law enforcement.โ It continues: โOur @ICEgov officers are PROTECTING our communities from illegal alien gang members, rapists, and child sex offendersโthat YOU are supporting. You should be thanking our brave men and women of @ICEgov instead of demonizing them.โ
Senator Dick Durbin posts: โYour agents arrested a young cancer patientโs dad. Sheโd just returned from chemotherapy. No criminal record. Immigrants arenโt the threat here. You are.โ Below the tweet is a photo showing a man wearing a cap and an American flag t-shirt sitting next to a smiling young girl in a sombrero at a restaurant, with food and drinks on the table in front of them.
Sen. Durbin isnโt taking Kristi Noemโs crap. Nor should he!

Thatโs nothing compared to what many other Americans are about to experience. 
To people outside of the US that has got to sound insane. 
And they wonder why we donโt travel more.
Every church should be doing this, and if your church isnโt, youโre at the wrong church.
