You can say you’re very swift
But you’ve been taken by a grift
The few are giving us their bill
While they live large and drink our fill
They are doing very well
While half the home team is in hell
Those of means can still afford
To pay their share and not just hoard

The most important thing is that Oregonians can trust the investigation into last week’s shooting. That’s why we launched a parallel investigation.

Washington politicians love to talk about what a good idea it is to ban stock trading in Congress, but then keep doing it.

Here's my message to them: You don’t need to wait for it to be banned. Stop trading right now.

I don’t trade stocks because it’s the right thing to do.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

We protested in Chandler, what a nice crowd
The passerbyers honking was really loud
It’s clear that even in a purple state
People don’t like ICE or their murder and hate

US protests condemn ICE killing of Renee Good and ‘a regime that is willing to kill its own citizens’

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Every time you call out the lie.

Every time you call it murder.

You smack at totalitarian control.

Keep doing it.
Keep speaking the truth.

I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.

Tears now stream from my eyes
For them, our country & all those lies
Look at what is happening today
See how much a fascist way
Would change forever your entire life
Pay attention, husband, wife!
It’s time to give up any Republican pride
Your children will live with what you decide

Until I saw the film, so chaotic

Our capitol officers doing their job
While our elected officials did nothing to stop

I hate that these law enforcement heroes must relive trauma bc the Criminal in Chief and the Republican Party shamelessly LIE to millions of Americans.
Resist GOP 1984-style, reality-denying propaganda.
This body cam footage is
A MUST WATCH for accurate January 6 history.

Predictably oil prices will increase
Our inflation problem will go on, not cease
Trump tells Americans not to drive an EV
Then drives up oil prices for those up his sleeve

The Constitution is clear:
Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp to the President.

On these counts, Congress has failed.
