If Trump announces a new and illegal regime change war against Venezuela tonight pay attention to which elected Democrats stay silent and don’t vociferously oppose and condemn him for it - and then make sure those Dems are subjected to primary challenges next year.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

Donald Trump lied when he pledged to make IVF available to every family for FREE. His genius plan is to rip away health insurance from millions of people, and then politely ask companies to add IVF coverage out of the goodness of their hearts. It's insulting—a broken promise.

Walmart and Navy Federal Credit Union were investigated for scamming consumers, but now they’re thanking Donald Trump for letting them off the hook. Instead of lowering costs like he promised, Trump is standing in the way of cheated Americans getting their money back.

Trump and Republicans got rid of the CFPB's $5 cap on overdraft fees, allowing big banks to keep raking in profits off of struggling Americans. So just how much money are banks taking from consumers with these predatory fees? @sanders.senate.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov, and I are finding out.
