It's easiest to take away rights, freedoms, jobs, health care, education, safety and essentials from the poorest, the voiceless and marginalized. That’s why we must be their voice, their strength, and stand against those who exploit them for profit & tax cuts. Keep exposing these A-holes every day!

Corruption in American government has reached unprecedented levels — and in too many cases, officials aren’t breaking a single law. This can change if Congress gives real teeth to the anticorruption safeguards in the Constitution. bit.ly/43MmpHM
How Congress Can Rein in Surging Political Corruption
Federal lawmakers can protect the American public by passing a new law to fully implement the Constitution’s oldest anticorruption safeguards.

Does anyone have a compilation of ICE and border patrol atrocity video clips? I'm trying to show evidence to a person who calls it fake news.

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

Adelita Grijalva has been sworn in. There are now 218 votes to release the Epstein Files.

So it looks like with or without a House vote, we might get a slow release of Epstein related details like today's emails anyway.

Say we get Chuck to step down. Realistically who replaces him? Because it's the stodgy old Senate, it would likely be another geriatric institutionalist who isn’t a good communicator.

Happy to have been wrong about Tammy Baldwin who had been on one of the lists floating around. She voted no.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I left a message for Tammy Baldwin. Cannot believe she's on the list of cavers. Giving in for a "promise" to maybe, possibly, at some point in the future, vote on the ACA subsidies. That is completely unacceptable!

The exact thing we all expected to happen but we're becoming optimistic that it might not happen this time, is happening anyway. What the actual fuck?
Democrats successfully backed Trump into a corner where he was on-the-record advocating to starve Americans and let their healthcare costs go up.
And now 10 cowards in the Senate are about to bail him out in exchange for NOTHING.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Someone I love parroted the festering anti-muslim sputum spewing from the right about #Mamdami when he posted that the voters of NYC forgot about the people who died on 9/11. As if the ten year old Zohran or his Ugandan professor father or Indian filmaker mother had any damned thing to do with it!

There is a meme going around that the Speaker will hold off on swearing in Grijalva until after the Tennessee special election so a Republican will negate her vote on the release of the Epstein files. It's not true. All she is doing is signing the petition. He can't negate her signature.
