The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

WATCH: “We are not the enemy, sir. We have different morals. We have different values.”

Rep. Jason Crow—U.S. Army Vet—challenged Sec. Hegseth directly after he used language that blurs the line between our military and extremists.

Leadership matters. So does the tone it sets.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.

As we enter Pride month tomorrow it's important to remember that Pride is not sponsored by corporations, it's brought to you by the drag queens who stood up at Stonewall, and everyone who fights every day for equality. There were no corporate sponsors in 1969 and we don't need them now. #Pride 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I think my biggest problem with “we have Biden to thank for Trump 2.0” is it puts the bad decision onus on one man and absolves millions of bad decisions from voters who had ample evidence to know better. And absolves a press that obviously didn’t convey the stakes very effectively.
