It’s We The People who must demand that Trump open up the federal government, which he was happy to take the blame for shutting down over a wall. He told #USA taxpayers Mexico would pay for, but the funds have never materialized.

Should stunts and impulsive messages from the president count as formal policy actions? What's going on here?
Everyone supports border security, but the majority of Americans don’t support wasting money on his ridiculous wall.

On the eve of the Super Wolf Moon, which many Americans can fully enjoy, the youngest female US Representative ever elected, who represents my district is developing into a Congressional bright star out of the incoming freshman class of lawmakers from a record-breaking number of women, people of color, and LGBTQ representatives.

They’ve already begun to shake things up. This year’s elections appear to be changing Congress for the better. The midterm election was a @GOP disaster for a former group of House #Republicans.

Trump's Justice Department may be getting yet another Attorney General. This time he's chosen an individual who has also passed the bar and claims he will not be bullied.

William Barr, the attorney general-nominee, endures a mostly sleepy day before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Goodbye Dolly. Actress Carol Channing has passed away at the age of 97. She died Tuesday morning. Channing's trademark platinum blond hair framed her always smiling face, her wide-eyed innocent style belied a very savvy mind, and her voice was unmistakable.

I enjoy many wonderful memories of my dear parents singing and dancing to her signature song. Thank you very much, Carol, you'll always be the one and only Dolly.

Karma is the rebirth is a derivative concept, and the force generated by a person's actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence. What goes around comes around.

Every time We The People are lied to sooner or later and eventually it had to generate consequences. Americans demand the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you, GOD.
