Americans need to get away from this backward believe that homelessness is the fault of the homeless. Everyone living in America is one health crisis, one job loss and rent increase away from being homeless.

Josh Hawley sure got his rear end handed to him at the hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson last week. Hawley blasted her for her light sentences for child pornographers and claimed she wasn't worthy of being a Supreme Court justice.

Josh Hawley is an embarrassment to Missouri and the Senate!
