This is my fear

Mark Takano Friend, The Supreme Court is an incredibly powerful institution. It can change our country overnight. It can bring progress to America with rulings like Brown v. Board of Education, which banned racial discrimination, and Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized gay marriage. But it…

.016% of the cost of a single Presidential trip to Mar-a-Lago

Mark Takano $750 = That's all Trump paid in income taxes in 2017. That’s less than half the cost of a one-night stay in his Washington hotel and .016% of the cost of a single Presidential trip to Mar-a-Lago — which you (the tax payer) pay for. Trump spent nearly a hundred times more on hair …
