What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Banking regulator rescinds more than 200 job offers for examiners it needs A government-wide hiring freeze is adding to a staffing shortage at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., complicating the agency’s efforts to oversee thousands of banks across the country.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: 

"I am so tired of waiting, 
Aren't you, 
For the world to become good 
And beautiful and kind? 
Let us take a knife 
And cut the world in two -- 
And see what worms are eating 
At the rind."

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid, food stamps in tax legislation As Republican leaders look for ways to offset the costs of a new set of tax cuts, social safety net programs are under discussion.

Republicans & Trump are planning to gut Medicaid, SNAP, & put an additional 10%-20% sales tax on nearly everything you buy so they can give MORE tax breaks to billionaires.

Republican economics: Tax breaks for the rich, paid for by working Americans.

Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations President-elect Donald Trump is emphasizing his plan to declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations.

Here's what this will look like:

Our military being used on Americans (citizens WILL be caught up in an operation this large)

Mass surveillance

Families ripped apart

Closed businesses, soaring prices, empty grocery shelves

This will hurt all of us.

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance—a day honoring trans people who’ve died from anti-trans violence. Too often, their stories are erased.

I’m proud to be an original cosponsor designating Nov. 20th as Transgender Day of Remembrance & stands against violence. We won’t forget you.
