Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.
Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

He attacks science and higher ed, driving top talent to flee, then complains we don't have talent and must bring in immigrants with h1b visas that he's charging $100,000 a pop for.
He's ok with immigration so long as he can exploit and profit from it.

Here's an obvious, easy, fun move: Every day, Dems should stage a mini-press conference showing video of Karoline Leavitt's latest lies, and then providing the corrections and the truth. It's like solar power--an infinite resource. It needn't be a Congressperson, but an official Dem spokesperson.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

A looming Las Vegas strike spotlights rampant labor abuses in the service sector, which now drives the US economy. Scholar Annie McClanahan notes this shift makes building worker power harder yet more essential for improving wages and protections.

Is there any truth to the argument that if trump had done what we demanded and ended the shutdown that way, he would have stolen the entire health care argument from his opposition?

Remember when the Democratic Party party turned on David Hogg for suggesting we should primary the types of senators who would do shit like fold in half at the worst possible time, resulting in millions of Americans getting fucked over a barrel?

"We need a new iteration of a Democratic Party that doesn't take just these symbolic wins where we thrust issues into the spotlight. Frankly that's that's not enough for me anymore.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
