Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

ABC Mary Bruce deserves a Pulitzer Prize for asking the Saudi Prince this question:

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

"Quiet, piggy!"

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

THEY PUT DOWN THE KOOLAID!

Who's next?

It's like they're waking up from a seriously long blackout binge

Lotta people believe in taking a long look at the "hoax", eh?

WWSD?

Let's see if the vote is 52-48, or, say, 70-30 cos that would be a real Et Tu McConnell moment

Watch out America. Fascists are relentlessly advancing their hateful, divisive and oppressive agenda.

This is bullshit! What are the charges?

📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

HAH! House voted 427 to ONE to release the Felon47/Epstein files.
