How Gilded Age Corruption Led to the Progressive Era | HISTORY
Corruption and inequality during the Gilded Age spurred Progressive Era political and economic reforms.
www.history.com
“The Progressive movement sought to ‘restore a type of economic individualism and political democracy that was widely believed to have existed earlier in America and to have been destroyed by the great corporation and the corrupt political machine.’”

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I think there is a very simple response from any Dem leader directly questioned regarding defunding ICE.
"Look, any unregulated activities which violate the Constitution, kill and kidnap US citizens, and kidnap children should not be funded. That should not be limited to ICE."

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

Health care monopolies on patient care screw over working families and destroy your ability to access affordable care.
All so corporate CEOs, like those from CVS Health, can pad their pockets.
We must break up big medicine. We need a Glass-Steagall for Health Care.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.
