Don’t be deceived. Stay focused. Remember the Three D’s from Mario’s Brother. There will be constant distractions and invitations to chaos. Don’t accept.
We’re not fighting each other. We fight the billionaires, and win.

When I worked for Obama, I advised him on how to talk to Russian leaders. I never gave the Kremlin advice on how to talk to Obama (and I talked to Ushakov many times!).

The #FalseFlag attack today right before #thanksgiving shows that the “president” and his “administration” will stop at nothing to escalate public fear, they will kill and humiliate #ServiceMembers. All to the create their #MartialLaw situation needed to stay in power forever. RIP We’ll #NeverForget
The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy.
It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

People need to become aware. There is no #President of the USA anymore. Washington DC is increasingly irrelevant on the global stage. We aren’t competitive as a nation anymore. The federal government has fully collapsed. We need different systems. The entire #WhiteHouse and #SCOTUS should be razed.
Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

That's the thing! Almost *all* corporation-creation law is state law. (There's a little bit of federal law for entities like Amtrak, CPB, etc., but that's different.) This is something the federal government has never taken any authority over.

The idea that we’re all created equal isn’t a simple “story” of America. It is our literal FOUNDING PRINCIPLE, wrought from divine inspiration and uttered under the threat of death (via the King’s horsemen). We take our Enlightenment founding seriously and will furiously defend it against fascists
There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

This doesn't actually call for ignoring SCOTUS -- it's redefining corporations so that they don't fall under the umbrella of Citizens United in the first place. Big difference, and much easier to defend in court.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?
