GOP senators and House members up for election complaining now about Trump’s actions in Iran and with deportation are laughable. You had your chance to stand up for what’s right and you did the opposite.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Some people think that voting is nothing but a personal expression of beliefs and identity. These people are not serious about politics.
For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.
