Quotes Of The Day
“Unite behind the science”-Greta Thunberg
” The climate crisis will not wait for the comfort of politicians. The consequences of a burning planet are coming, and the situation we leave our children will be proportionate to the courage (or lack thereof) we show now. Greta's right. Unite behind the science…not lobbyists.”-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
“Dear Trumpublicans, if you're planning on going Ninja Warrior on Robert Mueller, remember, Mueller served our country . He was awarded a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, a Navy Commendation Medal. You are serving a man who dodged the draft.”-Ana Navarro-Cardenas
“Lindsay Graham says Medicare and Social Security are “promises we can't keep” but he just voted for a budget that will add $1 trillion to the deficit. He's breaking promises to hard-working Americans like my grandma in order to keep promises to his wealthy donors.”-Jamie Harrison
“This opiod stuff is just stunningly, brazenly criminal. One drug company sent a single pharmacy in a town of 400 people 5 MILLION pain pills in 2 years. Another filled a monthly Rx for 1500 oxycodone pills for one person. Beyond appalling.”-Kathyrn Schulz
