Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

If this is true, high crimes.
They continue to steal from the tax payers, and enrich themselves. Republicans leadership is not American. They only have allegiance to themselves, and the corrupted. Republican senators have snuck paying themselves taxpayer dollars in the bill to re-open the goverment

Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

Lest I continue my complacent way,
Help me to remember that somewhere,
Somehow out there
a man died for me today.
As long as there be war, I then must ask and answer am I worth dying for?
