McGovern: We live in the richest country on Earth and not a single kid in this country should go to bed hungry, not a single damn one and especially when Republicans are giving millionaires and billionaires a big fat tax break.

People who do this are beyond repair. I feel for the innocent child that they were, deeply, but, if you are this fucked up, you know it and it is on you to seek psychiatric help. If you don't, no mercy. Bless this little one, and every human and nonhuman who suffers our cruelties and deficiencies.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

I’m not a farmer, a teacher, an immigrant, not LGBTQ, not on government assistance. But I still had the good sense to vote in my own interest and w/the most vulnerable in mind. Get it? This dude calls it: Let folks who voted for Trump give up their benefits & bailouts— leave the rest of us alone!

Bless her. It so doesn't need to be this way. We can end all wars. We can close all slaughterhouses. We can return habitat to wild species. We can build a world worthy of every child born into it. We can rise as a protective and nurturing force for all life. Anything less makes us "less than."

Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."

I nearly threw up when I heard about this, and, if the reporting is correct, the idea came from an immigrant. It is freaking mind blowing that we have an administration filled with individuals who are deeply inferior in their humanity, and more than a few in their intelligence as well. It sucks.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

If this cruelty bill gets passed, even Trump supporters will know that Trump and his administration don't give a damn about them, either, as the harm hits home for many tens of millions of us, including many Trump voters. The Trump administration seems incapable of reading the writing on the wall.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.

If you're trying to build muscle, getting enough protein is a must. But does it matter if that protein comes from meat or plants? A new study overturns assumptions.

I could never stomach the "it's their culture" response to excuse human rights violations. That most victims are women and children, I am sure made it easy for many to never give it a second thought. The "it's a personal choice" excuse is bullshit. It is no more a personal choice than child abuse.
