My mom worked hard, but sometimes she needed help to make ends meet. SNAP kept food on the table, and Medicaid paid my hospital bills when I had chronic asthma. If we had more leaders who knew what that felt like, we wouldn’t have passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.

Right now, Republicans are more afraid of the president than their own constituents. They have contorted themselves into moral silence while this nation is driven in the wrong direction. They are to blame for this economy.

If you put Republicans in charge of the presidency, they blame Congress for their failures. If they also control Congress, they blame the courts. If they control the courts, they blame their state. If they control their state, they blame a secret shadowy deep state, NGOs & media.

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.

“An investigation should begin with a legitimate basis to suspect criminal conduct, not with a chosen institution or group,” Mr. Jacobs added. “Prosecutors must follow the facts and the law wherever they lead, rather than select a target and work backwards to build a case.”

Donald Trump told reporters he feels "badly" for Max Miller, a Republican congressman accused of abusing his wife, and hopes Miller can "work it out." The only thing less surprising than a Republican politician abusing his wife is Donald Trump empathizing with the abuser.
