This is real life, y’all.
These aren’t “democratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy.
Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day… you can’t.

New in PN: DOJ politicization escalates with bogus arrest of Rep. LaMonica McIver
"Even Alina Habba's sworn declaration contains obvious false statements, clearly disproven by the bodycam footage ICE released to the media. And her online posturing appears to violate the DOJ's own rules."

When I feel overwhelmed I remind myself I can't fix it all. That’s not why I fight.
The world’s unfair, act right anyway.
Justice cracks, speak up anyway.
Progress stalls, build anyway.
Stay true to who you are.
You may not see the top of the mountain,
but you sure as hell can carve the trail.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc.
But it won't be DOJ.
It won't be the SEC.
It won't be Congress.
You know who CAN investigate this?
NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.
