The Houston hospitals have hit 100% ICU capacity and then they decided to stop reporting data.  How in the world can we get reliable data on the COVID-19 infections and deaths when the Republican states keep playing these hide and seek games with statistics?  They are more interested in keeping the president happy than in keeping the citizens informed and safe.

This fall it looks like most of the NFL players will be taking a knee in protest of injustice against Black people. I believe this to be a positive thing and will watch as much football as I usually do. I also give credit to Trump for creating this backlash to his outdated and ignorant views. 

When Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue, we didn’t know it would be American soldiers.

My husband is a veteran who didn’t serve his country to defend a country or commander-in-chief that uses the military as expendable political toys in his quest to sell us out to Putin.

According to the Gary Community School Corporation leadership, 75% of parents agreed to return their children to the “old” Gary school buildings this fall in spite of growing virus case numbers. Some of us do not believe it. Show us the data like you promised you would with your new semester quarterly grade assessment/tutorial software. What if the teachers and staff feel unsafe? Did you ask them?

The virus is surging again. The dangerous goofballs who endanger all our lives by refusing to wear a mask are the very same ones who push to reopen the economy faster. It doesn’t take a genius to see that the fewer people that wear masks, the slower the economy gets back to normal. Ignorance knows no bounds.

If Pence says Covid 19 is under control, why is he canceling trips because of Covid 19?

On Friday a federal court stopped Trump from diverting military funds to his border wall. … So if you support Trump please stop saying you support the troops.

Four Americans died in Benghazi how many died from Russian bounties?  How many from COVID-19? Where’s the GOP outrage and investigations?
