Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.

After 343 FDNY members made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11, thousands more began the search for survivors.
They spent months at Ground Zero searching, caring for their fellow New Yorkers and helping our city recover from this unspeakable tragedy.

For the last seven months straight, the U.S. government has refused to process immigrant visas for nationals of 75 countries around the world; including visas for spouses of U.S. citizens.
Today, a federal judge ruled the policy flagrantly illegal.

Considering how they lost their mind over a suit - no doubt right-wingers would be doing strict scrutiny of those words if Obama referenced the word "military" wrt to "intervention" in the Wall St.
Wall Street hated Obama after he both saved their assees and let them off the hook for their crimes.
The continue to favor the guy who just threatened to to use the military against them.
Make it make sense.

Trump appears to be so mentally incoherent that he looks to be mixing up a Q re Wall Street w/ Iran bc he heard the word "intervention" (& this is the charitable interpretation bc the other one is he is suggesting bombing Wall St).

The GOP took >100 days to pass a budget, but 2 days to weaken your voting rights. They’re scared of their own voters—but we aren’t. Gov. Stein vetoed HB 958, and Dems will vote to uphold that veto, because we will protect every eligible voter’s right to cast a ballot that counts.

Outside the two federal races, the Freedom Caucus far-right wing is going down in flames in Wyoming tonight. There's been a big backlash against them since they took the state house majority last cycle. Tried to defund the university, got caught taking checks literally on the floor during session.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org).
