Instead of mealy mouthed servants of Wall St lobbyists, the Democratic Party leaders should promise - & stand behind their promise - to enforce all laws: tax, antitrust, labor, civil & voting rights. 1-person, 1 vote means no gerrymandering, only humans can fund elections, transparency is required…
Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

You can’t claim you’re for lower costs and oppose the bill to do it.

Also, Merrick Garland practiced the most extreme nonpartisanship in the history of the US AG, not doing anything that could be seen as weaponizing until & unless he was forced to. If he had been a paid agent of Heritage Fdn he wouldn’t have done anything differently.

Trump's extortion of BBC shows how he has completely silenced the US corporate media and is expanding his gangsterism abroad. Unless BBC fights back strongly, media in every country could face similar crimes. We Americans will not be able to fight against this unless Trump is stopped soon.
The BBC apologised to U.S. President Donald Trump over a misleading edit of his speech on Jan. 6, 2021 but said it had not defamed him, rejecting the basis for his $1 billion lawsuit threat.

It is astonishing to watch a totally Orwellian war being forced on the people of US & Venezuela to distract from - let's be clear - the files showing that Trump abused the children his BFF Epstein trafficked.
Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

That's what Trump is doing. Wreck the institution until it needs to be dismantled. It's an underhanded way of privatizing public services so billionaires have another profit stream. Topple the 1%! Lift up the 99%!

Beware: the massive industry devoted to worming their way into govt contracts does NOT have at heart the interests of patients, medical staff or NHS. Like hackers, they probe every possible weak spot to undermine non-profit systems, to take credit for others' work, & to become mission-critical.

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

I know. I'm seeing a lot of people calling what Schumer did as brilliant. I don't get it.
He's given away leverage and put a weaker potential deal on the table at the precise moment when public outrage was trained on the GOP.
We'll end up with a weak deal and people blaming the Democrats.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

The Democrats are a leaderless party. We don't have a "strong man" at the top to conjole/threaten/bribe politicians.
And we won't tolerate a leader like that.
But we do want some LEADERSHIP and COHESION!
The people are speaking loud and clear. That is just not enough for some of our politicians.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.
