If you’d just serve the people instead of the donor class, you wouldn’t need the donor class. A million $20 donors beats one $10M donor every time.
Schumer & Gillibrand facing mutiny from Dems over their outdated “corporate-friendly” playbook, refusal to back Zohran, etc.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

I'm directing $2.2 million per week to provide support to Washington's food banks in the wake of the Congressional Republicans’ shutdown.
Our state will keep looking for innovative solutions while SNAP is suspended. President Trump needs to tell his party to do their jobs.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.
