Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.
Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.
The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.
WHYYYYY

You need a ID for privileged or regulated activities.
Not for Voting, because it is a constitutional right.
Mail in voting was common for farmers and people living in rural communities for hundreds of years.
It could take months for a mail in vote to be counted, due to slow mail deliveries!

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

For a year, we've wondered whatever happened to empathy.
Well, wherever empathy went to hide, it has company.
Shame. And contrition.

Thank you, Rep. Pocan. And thank you for calling for the resignation of Chuck Schumer.
Yes, the government will reopen today.
But here’s what won’t happen:
❌ No protection for 22M paying more for ACA
❌ 15M still losing healthcare due to Big Ugly Law
❌ SNAP cuts remain, $180B slashed from the #1 anti-poverty program
❌ Billionaire tax cuts untouched

Primary every last one of the. Even if they voted yes, the Democrat Caucus was behind this capitulation. Fuck them all.
Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off.
Why? It was hurting their profits.
They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved.
Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy.
Profit over people.

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

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

If Senator Tammy Baldwin @baldwin.senate.gov caves on this CR vote, I will never support her again. I will work my ass off to primary her and send her home forever. Do Not Cave. The Republicans lie and lie and lie. There will be no ACA.
