Today, the US is not a democracy. If you want it to be one, voting is not enough.

Senator Mullin, a member of the Armed Services Committee, cashed in on the Trump administration's invasion of Venezuela. This is exactly why we need to pass the Restore Trust in Government Act and ban congressional stock trading.

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.” Should be the top story everyday.

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it. Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie. We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about. He's pathetic.

Look folks, if you want to grow the economy you can either increase productivity or increase the size of the population. The Trump Administration is trying to shrink the population via a campaign of terror against immigrants and killing productivity gains via defunding science and unis.
