On ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopolous" today, UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said the following: “We need to be realistic with the fact at (sic), every person—regardless of race, religion, or party—who loves this country should support this president. It’s that important.” If this was not what she meant to say, she should retract and clarify it. If it was what she meant to say, she should resign immediately. Her statement, as it stands, not only shows disrespect for our fundamental right to free speech, as protected in the First Amendment to the Constitution, it is also an implied threat to everyone who loves this country but does not support "this president."

Democrats are too polite or way too laid back and as a result, the Republicans frankly beat us at every turn. Take a page out of the Republican playbook. They repeat, shout, demand, and win.

My Mother lives in a Nursing home in Illinois and I have a camera on her. Residents and Families are not aware of the law that allows them to have electronic monitoring. The abuse and neglect of our elderly needs to stop!

As a woman watching the debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, I personally felt violated.

Every year, 636,000 people walk out of prison gates, but people go to jail over 11 million times each year. Jail churn is particularly high because most people in jails have not been convicted. Some have just been arrested and will make bail in the next few hours or days, and others are too poor to make bail and must remain behind bars until their trial. Only a small number (195,000) have been convicted, generally serving misdemeanors sentences under a year. 1 in 5 people are locked up for drug offenses. The bottom 50% earned 20% of the nation's pre-tax income in 1979; this fell steadily to 14% by 2007 and 13% by 2014. ... Half of the U.S. population lives in poverty or is low-income, according to U.S. Census data. The ACA only works when everyone is insured--otherwise people wait until they are sick to buy insurance and this makes insurance unaffordable. In a Center for American Progress survey of roughly 3,000 DACA recipients, nine-tenths of respondents said they had jobs. Their average hourly wage was $17.46 an hour, up from $10.29 before receiving DACA. About 72 percent of respondents were in higher education. After getting DACA, nearly 80 percent of respondents said they got driver's licenses. About half became organ donors.

Pennsylvania would benefit greatly! The tax revenue and jobs that it would create would be enormous, not to mention the fact that marijuana is significantly less harmful then alcohol and cigarettes, both of which are perfect legal for adults, yet the government tells us that marijuana is a harmful drug. Smoking and drinking has killed countless people every year. Marijuana has never killed anyone. Stop telling us what is good for us and prove to us that your pockets are not being filled by big alcohol or the tobacco industry.

Democrats need a leader!

If we don't nip these traitorous actions by some Republican members of Congress....we will all lose grip on our great democracy. This is a real and present danger to our way of life.

As Target workers who are or support LGBTQ workers, we find it unconscionable that Target executives fund hate-based politicians who actively harm us as workers and members of the LGBTQ community. These actions by Target executives are completely at odds with their self-professed values of promoting diversity and inclusivity. We demand Target executives live up to their own standards and stop enabling hate. For more information please read our report "A Tale of Two Targets" at targetworkersunite.com

Undermining the Judiciary process is eroding our democracy. Members of the GOP who are arbitrarily initiating actions to discredit the Mueller investigation are obstructing the process, which could ultimately undermine our system of justice. The American people have a right to know whether or not these actions are supported by facts that warrant opening up closed investigations, such as the Clinton investigation, or opening up an investigation that discredits the author of the Steele Dossier. If there are no supporting facts, then there should be consequences for these GOP members and they must desist from commenting on the investigation so that it might be completed as intended by our forefathers - independently.

I don't think it's fair that the white rich men are are having having the rich do their bidding. They cut corporate taxes. Because the rich wanted that. AT&T with other loop poles only paid 8% taxes last year. Taxes on Corporation wear what 35%. I Googled the richest corporations in America and they paid nothing in taxes because of loopholes. So now they're free and clear plus I get a tax credit to move overseas. AT&T gave the top tier and their companies bonuses this year but at the same time laid off 10,000 workers to move overseas. Because it get a tax credit for moving overseas. I am going to get rid of anything I have that has AT&T on it. Looking for a new company. AT&T is just an example. They said they bring more of employment to the people of the United States if we cut the corporate taxes. But Corporate America is greedy if they can get it done cheaper somewhere. People used to love the United States. Corporations love building jobs with benefits. It must have been in the olden days. I don't even want to even by America because it's all from China. Trump's already taking the protection of the redwood trees up in Northern California make money off that right Trump. He also went around when nobody was looking and said he could bring an animal trophies in the United States what's Obama got rid of. Trump's also when nobody was looking change the thing that you can bring trophies from Africa into the United States. Did you know that they're doing cancer research with elephants. Course I know the Republicans hate any kind of medical research they think it has something to do with a baby's pituitary gland from abortions but that's not true. It's done with it unbiblical cord why don't these people grow up? More questions I'd like to get involved in the Democratic party I think we need to New Blood. Thank you for listening to my bitching.

We, residential citizens and homeowners residing in the city of Des Moines, WA, call on the Washington State Department of Transportation to install a traffic stop light at the corner of South 263rd Street and Pacific Highway South/State Highway 99. In 2005, a section of Pacific Highway South in Des Moines, WA was approved for rezoning by the city of Des Moines officials. The zoning conformed a section along Pacific Highway South from commercial to residential. This area today has 68 single family homes, and a small, undeveloped commercially zoned lot. These single-family homes were constructed between 2011-2016. The homeowners of this community only have ONE outlet to enter and exit this community, this being State Highway 99/Pacific Highway South. The 68 homeowners and the patrons and staff of Health Point clinic face daily congestion entering and exiting on South 263rd Street to and from State Highway 99. There is a high volume of traffic daily using South 263rd Street by the 68 homeowners and the patrons and staff of the Health Point Clinic. Parking is permitted on both the north and south side of the street on South 263rd Street, which is another contributing factor to the congestion entering and exiting on South 263rd Street. The merging conditions are unsafe onto Pacific Highway South/State Highway 99, from South 263rd Street, both merging north and south during rush hour. There are times other than rush hour when Pacific Highway South is busier than normal due to various circumstance pertaining to Interstate 5- accidents, construction, exit closures, etc. More often than not, the drivers on Pacific Highway South are exceeding the speed limit which makes entering traffic difficult. There are no stop lights or crosswalks between 260th-272nd Pacific Highway South, which contributes to the drivers exceeding the posted speed limit. It is illegal to cross more than one lane of traffic, this illegal lane crossing frequently happens when drivers exiting South 263rd Street need to go in the northbound direction on Highway 99. This is very unsafe. Technically the stop sign in place now on the SW corner of South 263rd Street should indicate that only a right turn is permitted. The U-Turn lane located directly across from South 263rd Street, that everyone exiting from South 263rd Street uses to go northbound on State Highway 99 is unusable from South 263rd Street, as reaching this turnaround/U-turn requires crossing more than one lane of traffic. This is not only illegal but unsafe. Considering that Pacific Highway South is the only outlet in and out of the Landmarque community of 68 single family homes, and also for the Health Point Clinic patrons and staff, we deem a traffic stop light necessary and should be installed at the intersection of South 263rd Street and State Highway 99/Pacific Highway South. The installation of a traffic stop light will provide SAFE and timely ingress and egress to and from our community to go North and South on Pacific Highway South/State Highway 99. This traffic stop light would also be beneficial for the patrons and staff of the Health Point Clinic located on the SW corner of South 263rd Street and Pacific Highway South. This clinic has at least 75 cars in and out daily entering and exiting on South 263rd Street, Monday-Friday. There is also a concern that we would NOT be able to expeditiously exit our community in the event of an emergency onto a busy State Highway with a 45 MPH speed limit. For the reasons stated above, we are of the opinion that a traffic stop light installation is necessary and warranted at Pacific Highway South and South 263rd Street.
