I've always felt that if she said it, she actually meant it and really had no clue what was going on.

Okay, that’s it. Marie Antoinette no longer holds the title for most insensitive line ever uttered by a powerful person who clearly has no clue what other people are going through.

Republicans say they don't want to release the $2k stimulus check because the money might go to "someone who doesn't need it?" Interesting perspective, given that 83 per cent of the 2017 $2T tax cut went to people who didn't need it.

No it wasn't. We didn't even have a standing army until after WW2. And it was Eisenhower's Farewell Address in 1960 where he coined the phrase and warned us about the MIC.

As Deb Haaland moves on to Interior there's a Special Election in #NM01. Join me in supporting NM state Senator Antoinette Sedillo Lopez for Congress! @ASL4Justice4all backs Medicare4All & is the progressive candidate in this race. Make ASL the new AOC! bit.ly/2FFYK09
