BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Corrupt scumbag murderer Greg Abbott is showing more concern over New York City finally electing a good person to be their Mayor than he ever did for everyone who was murdered in Uvalde, Texas. Evil asshole.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says ‘yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Remember: no matter who is in the Oval Office, you can always fight for change at the state and local levels.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:
“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.
