We must get Big Money out of politics.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

An ICE Agent was BUSTED by Bloomington Police in "Operation Creep" trying to solicit sex from a minor. When arrested, he said "I'm ICE, boys."

This is amazing! Any state can get corporate money out of politics, it appears. The Montana plan.
NEW: In 2010, Citizens United opened the floodgates to political spending. Next year, a popular Montana ballot measure could render that ruling null in the state.
Yes, we can get money out of politics. @ruwithsonali.bsky.social in @truthout.org:

Why would the Epstein buddy president go out of his way to help sex trafficker Andrew Tate? Guess some mysteries are unsolvable.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Zeroes in on a crucial policy goal for whenever the Ds again take power
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

A flexible spending account that replaces enhanced ACA premium tax credits would help people with their out-of-pocket health care costs. But, that help would be limited if they couldn't afford to buy insurance to begin with without the enhanced tax credits.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Arizonans are worse off today because their healthcare is now in limbo. Simply put: it's not a deal if it’s missing access to affordable healthcare. Hardworking Americans deserve results, not empty promises. If I were in Congress, I would vote NO.
