“Teachers are supposed to teach the children in their classroom regardless of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or immigration status. It is absolutely unconscionable for someone hired as a public servant, and responsible for the lives of children to be deciding who should and should …”
“When did congress abdicate the responsibility it has for things like enacting tariffs? Instead, we have a narcissistic little boy deciding how to use this very critical of economic tools, in what has now become an “ I don’t like what you’re doing, so I am going to take my marbles home and make the A…”
“I would laugh if it weren’t so damn terrifying. He really means it, and he will try to find some way to stay in office longer than allowed, whether it’s declare voter fraud in 2020 if he loses, try and stack the Supreme Court to do away with term limits, or simply declare a state of emergency that o…”
“This is just another attempt to keep people from voting. Lots of people don’t have a passport and have no idea where their birth certificate or other paperwork is. Non-citizens don’t vote like Trump and his Republican minions say they do. Voter fraud is a non-issue; voter suppression is very much an…”
“If you are so innocent, Mr. Trump, why would you hide the full report? Wouldn’t you want the unvarnished truth to come out? It could guarantee you a second term. But methinks you doth protest too much. Must be something(s) pretty damning in there if you are so willing to hide it. To my representativ…”
“I love the disingenuous “in order to protect the children” statement from DHS. This, after ripping thousands of children from their parents, putting them in cages, and then losing them. We are obviously excellent at protecting these children. This is a lot like the “voter fraud“ that people insist i…”
“For far too long school children have been taught to celebrate a man who has been shown to have been a barbaric abuser of indigenous populations. Although recognizing this day as indigenous peoples day would not in any manner make up for the centuries of abuse and injustice that our indigenous popul…”
“Please Senators McSally and Sinema, do NOT vote to confirm David Bernhardt as Secretary of the Interior! He is deeply tied to the oil and gas industry and does not have the welfare of our public lands at heart. Please, you are both from a state that benefits greatly from tourism to public lands. The…”
“The United States has been largely responsible for many of the problems that force people to leave their poverty-stricken and violence-ridden homelands in Central America. We instituted a coup d’état in Guatemala back in 1954 to throw out a democratically elected president who would not be a patsy f…”
“This is one of the most important jobs for which Congress was created. Remember what was going on when our country was founded. Trade and tariffs were huge issues. Our founders recognized that no one person should have control over that, but that Congress, representing all of the colonies (states) s…”
“How anyone can manipulate statistics of mass shootings in churches, theaters, schools and elsewhere to justify the system we have right now by saying that “there aren’t that many deaths from guns,” is beyond me. One intentional shooting death is too many. Yes, criminals have guns, and they use them.…”
“No one chooses a late-term abortion lightly. No woman chooses to do that simply because she’s “changed her mind.” Late term abortions occur when the fetus is not viable, or when the life of the mother is in danger. We should not ban late-term abortions if they will not allow those circumstances to b…”
“If people are so concerned about undocumented immigrants not paying taxes, and not paying their fair share for the services they get (which is complete nonsense, by the way, since they do pay taxes into our system, and it has been well documented in many states throughout the country that they contr…”
“This is just Trump’s ridiculous, desperate effort to fulfill a campaign promise he never should have made. This is not a national emergency. There are fewer people coming in across our border than there have been in more than a decade, and the ones who are coming to ask for asylum are largely coming…”
“Absolutely not! Our country was founded on the concept of the separation of church and state. There are people of every possible religion and spiritual belief, including agnosticism and atheism, that live in this country. Any child that attends a public school should not be force fed any particular …”
“Please do not vote to support this bill! Absolutely everything about it is wrong. You are caving into a complete and utter bully who is handing you back little bits and pieces of your democracy and asking you to thank him for it. Tying disaster relief funding to immigration legislation and funding …”
“Just because some parents don’t “believe” that vaccinations are safe does not mean that is the scientific truth of it. We have decades of scientific evidence that supports the importance and the value of vaccinating children. We have gotten to a point in our country where someone’s “belief” counts j…”
