Worried about Dems’ messaging? A brilliant group of volunteer activists designed about 25 red signs with simple and devastating anti-Republican messaging. Download them for free, have them printed as yard signs and put them up everywhere. The website is factocracy(dot)net

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Just how dumb is Trump? Because even if he thinks he can bribe Americans to vote for him (he can’t), does he really believe $100 for Medicare will do anything for seniors Even the illusory promise of $5,000 won’t pay for the increases in food, gas or rent people have suffered due to his policies

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

"Nothing to lose." Read that again. It's the most dangerous phrase in business, in negotiation, and in war. Per US officials…Trump is reportedly weighing boots on the ground in Iran after the midterms. When a man stops counting the cost….we damn sure better be.
