I represent a district in Silicon Valley. I know the culture. I’ve been in the rooms. Mr. President, you cannot trust tech billionaires to write the rules to keep us safe or protect our jobs.

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

Always remember though, that Canadians are inherently friendly and polite. If the US gets rid of Trump, and whoever the new person is, comes to us with humility, we will forgive, and do our best to forget. Truth be told, we miss our American brothers and sisters.

Enough is enough. I am tired of hearing about officials, including judges in other cases, worrying about ruining a young man’s life while ignoring the fact that these young men also ruined someone else’s life. What about her life? Is her life not measured the same as these young men’s?

Below the photos, large text reads: “STOP POSTING THEIR PICS” / “YOU WILL RUIN THEIR LIVES” / “GOOD!!” / “THEY RUINED A GIRLS LIFE, THEY SHOULD HAVE THEIR PICS EVERYWHERE!!” / “THEY BELONG IN JAIL!!”

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

I am opposing Section 219, which would integrate our military with Israel’s. The United States does not have this arrangement with any other country in the world. We need to stand up for American sovereignty and strip this provision from the final NDAA.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.

Mike Rogers told Michiganders he was an assembly line autoworker who made Chrysler LeBarons. Turns out it was a complete lie. Shameful.
michiganadvance.com
Mike Rogers claims he was an assembly line worker. The UAW said that is stretching the truth. • Michigan Advance
Rogers says he built Chrysler vehicles on an assembly line. Records show his work was at an aftermarket facility that modified vehicles after they left the factory.
