Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."

Tiny creek lined in bee balm, yellow coneflowers, and lots of other vivid vegetation.

It's a small thing but such a relief too: after a few years of drought, it's finally not this summer. Minnows are darting in the creek and the bee balm and yellow coneflowers are blooming in profusion.

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

Let them eat cake.

Powell: "Increased tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods. Near-term measures of inflation expectations have moved up on balance over the course of this year on news about tariffs."

Bill Barr has blood on his hands. Seriously screw that guy for enabling his “boss” to murder someone in prison.

NO MORE TRADITIONS, you can't get on the ballot without producing all your tax returns for 7 years.

You can't get on the ballot if you are going to be 72 yrs anywhere in your term

You can't get on a ballot if your a FELON

This is just a start what we want

Citizens United is a malignant cancer!

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The Supreme Court should preserve the status quo until legal questions are resolved and explain the disposition of cases for the public.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Supreme Court allows Trump to proceed with large-scale government agency staff cuts, reorganizations The reductions in force sought by the Trump administration, which involve many federal agencies, are being opposed by unions representing federal workers.

Thanks, Supreme Court!

🤬🤬🤬🤬

Expect more of the same that happened in Texas.

IRS, don't bother calling the 800 number for help. No one will be left to help. Tax professionals, sorry, your SOL!

If blue states kept their money, they would be fine or even better off. Red states would be in deep financial trouble.
