“The honeybee and pollinator population is drastically decreasing due to the use of toxic insecticides. The Trump administration not only reversed a rule reducing the use of these toxins that are attributed to widespread losses of honeybees, but cut the USDA's funding and now wants to cut research in…”

“One person, one vote. The electoral college has gone against the popular vote in two recent elections. It's time to listen to the majority and not arbitrarily make some voices worth more than others because of where they live. Voters in Wyoming or the Dakotas shouldn't have more say in the president…”

“Republicans and Trump own this shutdown. Force a vote in the Senate and make Trump sign or veto it. The wall is a pointless waste of money and border security can be increased without it. Trump and Republicans are intentionally hurting government employees and Americans that rely on federal assistan…”

“Reopen the government but don't spend a dollar on a useless wall. I am for border security, but not a wall that will cost tens of billions of dollars and can be defeated by a ladder. Most illegal immigration is from over staying visas and most illegal drugs come thru legal ports of entry. Force a vo…”

“How about instead of militarizing our schools, we do something about gun laws in the first place? Stricter background checks, required training before purchases, more expansive gun registration, and other common sense gun laws are much smarter than giving schools districts access to mine resistant v…”
