Remember: An estimated 70% of congressional Republicans may financially benefit from the tax cuts in their Big Ugly Bill.

While cutting Medicaid and food stamps for millions — including many of their own constituents — these lawmakers may be enriching themselves.

Priorities.

The federal government’s extreme anti-immigrant agenda is putting people’s lives at risk – both in our communities and in detention.

This must end.

Compare this man with the likes of Trump. Both are leaders. One earns his leadership, the other imposes it. One works for all the people, the other only for some.
That last line is FIRE 🔥

Democratic leadership, and any U.S. representative for that matter, should be serving the American people, not corporations or foreign interests. Since the beginning of this campaign, I’ve pledged to never take any corporate or lobbyist money, including from AIPAC.

Funny that Ice isn't going into Pinecrest or Lincoln Heights in Charlotte.
ICE is a group of coward ass racists who go after the innocent.

My plea to Charlotte and the rest of the country is simple: get ready.

Because when ICE or CBP shows up, fear will spread fast. But courage can spread faster.

NPR: US & Saudi Arabia agree on Israel's goal to eliminate Iran's proxies.

"Iran's proxies" is a critical departure from Hamas-only. It's done ahead of butcher's visit to the WH, the butcher of a country which also gave us 15 out of the 19 9/11 terrorists.

It justifies Israel attacks on neighbors.

Tascha gave so many people the courage to knock that first door, make that first call and build the bridges with our neighbors that got us this far.

Together, we fought for a city for all of us. Now, we’ll build a City Hall for all of us.
