This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Amen

To anyone living in a state that doesn't respect you for who you love or who you are: Illinois has a place for you. You are seen, you are celebrated, you are protected, and you are welcome here in our state.

The sexual tension is palpable @profgalloway.com — I mean, as much as a straight man can be hot for you.

People who make $1000 a minute, have convinced people that make $25 an hour that the problem in the country is the people that makes $7 an hour. Let that sink in.

All Pentagon officials overseeing Ukraine and aid have been dismissed or removed from their positions. The U.S. Department of Defense is undergoing a comprehensive restructuring, indicating a shift in the framework of its relations with Ukraine, according to reports from Ukrainian journalists.

It is a deregulation strategy that benefits the wealthy by saving them $. 2)Raid those funds to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. = Upward wealth shift

I got a new TV that’s so smart it changes the channel every time he comes on.

The question is, will the president he bought for half a billion dollars stay bought?

JPM: “.. Republican election sweep will alter US and global policy and increase outlook risk. The global economy should experience a negative supply shock as US tariffs on China rise and as immigration is restricted .. These impulses should raise inflation broadly and slow central bank easing.”
