Sick and tired of Republicans who co-opt faith as an excuse to advance bigotry and barbarism.

Fact is, if today Christ himself came to the floor of Congress and repeated his teachings, many would malign him as a radical and eject him from the chamber.

'The only time religious freedom is invoked is in the name of bigotry and discrimination. I'm tired of it' — @AOC just flipped the entire ‘religious freedom’ argument on its head

the republicans have set up for their donors (and no one else) and instead, render aid to everyday Americans.

I'm sick and tired of hearing republicans support w/o any rational thought the pork that billionaires and other wealthy patrons have been enjoying under trump, as well as the ignorance of laws and regulations that trump has been canceling it seems, right and left.

I suspect Bloomberg knows what he's talking about too.
