Republicans have done nothing to bring down the cost of fuel, food, or pharmaceuticals. Right now, the only people Republicans seem to be prioritizing are Trump and his cronies. If they were truly working for the American people, they wouldn’t need to buy their loyalty. We deserve better. Period.

Another example of how our medical system fails us. Studies have shown that there are significantly lower rates of postpartum depressive and psychotic disorders in developed countries that mandate paid parental leave and universal healthcare. Our system of care needs to be proactive not reactive.

Maybe you haven’t noticed. The GOP members in congress aren’t exactly what you might call “decent people.” They’re part of the problem. “Decent people” wouldn’t have blocked a bill that would have barred the administration from implementing Trump’s IRS audit immunity deal.

Some white evangelical Christians view Donald Trump through an apocalyptic lens, believing his actions in the Middle East could help fulfill biblical end-times prophecies. Seems fitting that the "be careful what you wish for" concept applies here to their belief.
