Losing a $500k home you’ve owned for 30 years because you couldn’t pay $4k in property taxes shouldn’t be legal.

ICE has gone completely rogue. It acts as judge, jury, and executioner — due process be damned. It is turning immigration enforcement into a potential death sentence that puts all of us at risk. Abolish ICE.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

Let's put this one to bed, last night's speech BULLSHIT. Former Trump attorney Ty Cobb was on MSNOW and stated that across the whole three-hour Fox and Friends show this morning, there was no mention of the speech last night. When FOX doesn't mention the speech, you know it 100% BS.

It's hard to track amidst all the chaos but there is no combination of words to adequately describe how horrific this mining would be. More here: www.savetheboundarywaters.org
Today the Senate passed House Joint Resolution 140, a bill that overturns a 20-year mining ban upstream from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) in Minnesota. Representative Pete Stauber (R-MN) introduced the measure, which passed the House in January. It clears the way for a subsidiary of Chilean mining giant Antofagasta to engage in copper-sulfide mining, which produces sulfuric acid, above the pristine BWCA. Those waters include 1,175 lakes and over 1,200 miles of rivers and streams. According to outdoor writer Wes Siler, about 165,000 people visit the BWCA annually, generating $1.1 billion in economic activity and supporting 17,000 jobs.
