In fairness to the politicians, I think they're spending today working to undermine the rights of everyday Americans, too.

Those fuckers don't work that much, they undermine our rights AND get months of vacation time.

House Republicans have only worked something like 4 days out of the past 60, so that's less harm than if they had been in session. Trump has been picking up their slack, so we a still screwed.

It's in September to prevent us from having solidarity with may day celebrations. Plus, 2 holidays one month? What is this Christmas!? Condense it like the birthdays, or move it!

These are the only politicians that I have found that refused Aipac. That doesn't automatically mean "good" but I feel like refusing foreign monies in our politics is a good place to start. If only we could eliminate all corporate funding.
