He and his administration have continued to up the ante on the inhumane treatment of Americans. We're talking about tens of billions (yes, billions with a b) of dollars being spent to purchase warehouses across this country and turn them into what can only be called concentration camps.

ICE is preparing to spend $38 billion on a so-called 'new detention center model': buying up warehouse spaces and retrofitting them to hold nearly 100,000 people. Warehouses. Not facilities built with any concern for human dignity. Warehouses.

Congress is working toward a new Farm Bill — and despite the name, this isn't just about farms.

For millions of families across this country, the Farm Bill determines whether there is enough food on the table.

Today in 1770, British troops fired on American colonists expressing their displeasure with the King's rule. They killed 5 American colonists in an event which would come to be known as the Boston Massacre.
