I'm really sorry for all the SA survivors having to put up with the onslaught of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW bullshit going around the internet today. I see you, and I know it's traumatizing.

“The Secretary of Defense is not connected to reality.”

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

“Concepts of a plan” forever.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

The weathiest country in the world doesn't mean a thing if it won’t feed its own people.

Sure Americans are in bread lines and layoffs are ripping across the country and prices are up and health care costs are skyrocketing… but least Ghislaine is happier now, that’s what counts!

John Ewing Jr. makes history by winning Omaha’s mayoral election At her Election Night event, Stothert said she called Ewing and conceded in the race.

John Ewing was badly outspent and hit with attack ads while challenging 3-term incumbent Jean Stothert, who had absolutely wiped the floor with her most recent opponent.
Tonight he’s the mayor of Omaha, and he’s winning by a whole bunch of votes.
