The hit was horrible enough, but his celebrating on the field then off the field, turned my stomach. #GoDucks

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government. After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.
Per the briefing:
"On order, 1-18th Cavalry Squadron provides static interagency site protection, mounted mobile security, and Joint Force Land Component Command UFLCC) Reserve support to Customs and Border Patrol (CRP) and supporting federal agencies, whose intent at MacArthur Park is to demonstrate, through a show of presence, the capacity and freedom of maneuver or federal law enforcement within the Los Angeles Joint Operations Area (JOA)."

@MichellCClark: 
they made healthcare a commodity, education a debt trap, and housing a speculation market-then told you that poverty is a personal failing. they privatized survival and called it freedom.

Maybe. Maybe not. I’m pretty convinced now that Trump isn’t the disease, but the symptom. The real disease are the tens of millions of racist, misogynist, bigoted dumbfounded dipshits that voted for him. They were always there, I think,Trump just called them from the shadows.

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

Trump trying to reign in the rapid Republicans from cutting Medicaid a bit *too* much reminds me of Stalins purges in ‘37 and ‘38, when he spoke at Central Committee plena warning Party officials to maybe slow it down a bit.

Breaking News: The sprawling tax and health care bill that Senate Republicans are trying to pass would add at least $3.3 trillion to the national debt over a decade, the Congressional Budget Office estimated.

Senate Bill Would Add at Least $3.3 Trillion to Debt, Budget Office Says
A new analysis showing the legislation would be far more expensive than the House version could complicate its chances of final passage in that chamber, where fiscal hawks have said the cost must not grow.
