I agree with this idea 💯💯
Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

I agree with this, IF that’s the name, and we all know it, take off the redaction.
I bet it’s another victim and they know that opens the can of worms a little bit more.
If that's Giuffre's name under the redaction bar, then prove it. Remove the redaction. You've already told us it's Giuffre, so you wouldn't be doing anything illegal. So reveal it. Or can't you? Because it's not her?
CNN: The emails that were released don't raise any Qs for you?

GIMENEZ: Not right now, no

C: The email where Epstein says to Maxwell that Trump spent hours at his house w/someone whose name is redacted who Republicans are saying is Virginia Giuffre?

G: Right. And she said Trump did nothing wrong

There should have already been rules with repercussions for not promptly swearing in elected officials.
"This is never going to be ok." Rep. Grijalva calls for formal legislation to make sure new members are sworn in promptly after Mike Johnson showed that good faith and norms cannot be counted on.

Quick! We have a failing mall in Alaska that has been affected by the availability and lower costs of shopping online compared to a brick and mortar store! Send in the troops!

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I had to ask myself as a coach just now, I have a kid in front of me… they have absolutely no natural talent… how do I get them to believe in themselves?
I guess that is the nurture part of life. Teach them. Encourage them. Just show up.

Powerball jackpot tonight is 467,000,000.

So to get to a trillion, I’d only have to win a jackpot like tonight’s … 2,141 times.

To put it another way, I’d have to win the lottery, once a week, every week, for …

41 years

Hot streaks like that? Very rare. Have to be quite lucky. Fingers crossed.

If you still believe tRump wants to put America first, you are delusional.
Imagine being forced by court order to feed hungry children, while pretending to be The Great Gatsby - then appealing that decision? #AmericaLast
