On the anniversary of Citizens United, I have one thing to say: get big money out of politics!
Elections belong to the people, not billionaire donors, corporations, and dark money. The people.
This MUST be a top priority when we take back the House. It’s time to overturn Citizens United!

We need a full and complete investigation into Renee Good’s death. The DOJ is refusing to do so. It’s yet another disgraceful cover-up.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

I think it’s bad that the Speaker of the House has been in a sensory deprivation tank since roughly 2015 and only emerges to get yelled at in the hallway outside of the tank.
Mike Johnson tells me that he hasn’t seen Trump saying in Davos “what we have gotten out of NATO is nothing”

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

What is the point of Hakeem Jeffries
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

Trump invited Putin to his “Board of Peace” while Putin tries to take the heat out for millions of civilians in Ukraine with massive strikes.
This is not who we are.
I resigned & spoke out against Trump when our values were on the line & I'll do it Congress.

Even as ICE receives $170B in new funding, it has stopped paying for medical care for detainees — including life-saving medications, dialysis, and chemotherapy treatments.
Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions.
Cruelty on steroids.

ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

What’s happening in Minneapolis may soon be happening in your city.
What are you prepared to risk to counter ICE’s bullying and brutality?
This is a personal question that I wish I didn't have to ask — but it's something we must grapple with right now.

Big if Hitler could have gone to Davos in 1938 energy
Trump is giving a deranged, rambling monologue in Davos to an audience stunned into silence. He sounds incredibly tired, his voice raspy; he keeps trailing off into long pauses. It's jaw-dropping.
The sanewashing headlines are going to say "Trump Doubles Down On Greenland Demand In Davos Speech"

it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.
