Nothing for parks.
Nothing for health care.

Unlimited billions for ICE and for war.

Take a good look folks.

These are the Minnesota boundary waters. Every Republican senator voted to allow a Chilean billionaire to mine it. The minerals will go to China.

This truly enrages me.
It should you as well.

Fuck, and I mean fuck…
The @GOP 🖕

[JoeyBoatwater @JBoatwater]

Here is the name of every senator that should be voted out after this unprecedented and abhorrent vote. They favor a foreign mining companies over our own country. There is a bullseye on all public lands by greedy capitalists starting today #VoteThemOut

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

The fight for the Boundary Waters isn’t over, it just looks a little different now.

We will not give up. That would play right into their hands.

[The Wild North @TheWildNorthTV]

Remember this at the ballot box: Republicans voted to allow copper sulfide mining - which has NEVER not polluted - to be built in the headwaters flowing directly into the BWCA. Republicans just sold out our pristine public lands & future generations for Chilean billionaires.

[Nick Offerman @Nick_Offerman]

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O

What the hell—Despite suddenly losing 1.6 million bee colonies to a mass die off in the U.S. in a year, Trump WH is instead planning to close the USDA’s premier bee 🐝laboratory, worrying beekeepers, scientists and farmers. https://t.co/553KDCke98

[Nick Kapur @nick_kapur]

Trump is shutting down the nation's premier honeybee research lab even as a massive bee die-off unfolds.

As usual, it is illegal to do this without approval from Congress, but Trump is doing it anyway.

WOW 🚨 Delta Dental is considered a nonprofit but the CEO skyrocketed her pay from $4.5 million per year all the way to $48 million over 4 years

That’s $1 million dollars per month pay for one employee as a nonprofit

“Delta Dental is considered a non-profit, and as such you can be their taxes online. So I got curious in their 2014 filing, the IRS requests for the organization's top accomplishments.

Delta Dental reported that over 95% of claims electronic, online and paper were processed without any manual intervention. That means when your care is denied, there is less than 1 in 10 chance a human reviewed it

— That same year, Delta dished out up to a 30% pay cut on the care that doctors deliver, and for a decade, they did not raise what they pay for your dental care by a single penny.

Meanwhile, their CEO's salary skyrocketed. She went from 4.5 to $15 million a year. From 2014 to 2018, she made off with almost $48 million before leaving her position. That's a million dollars a month. Must be nice. And she's not even a clinician. She's a CPA.

You don't have to be an accountant to do the math. Dr. Pay cuts stagnant reimbursements. They were never about saving patients money on premiums.”

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Trump just requested a $1.5 TRILLION military budget.

Last year, he cut $1 trillion from your health care—the largest cut in American history. But magically found $1.5 TRILLION for death and destruction.

This is deranged.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do.

When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide.

We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.

[Peggy Flanagan @peggyflanagan]

Donald Trump is unhinged. It’s time to remove him from office, period.

Anyone abdicating their responsibility today will be on the wrong side of history, forever.

I can tell the oligarchs:

The American people are sick and tired of your greed. And they are sick and tired of billionaires paying a lower effective tax rate than the average American worker.

Billionaire tax now. https://t.co/Z6qrXSYPxW

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Net worth of the billionaires opposing California's wealth tax:

Elon Musk: $844 billion
Larry Page: $262 billion
Sergey Brin: $243 billion
Mark Zuckerberg: $228 billion
Larry Ellison: $209 billion

Yes. We must tax billionaires. And it starts in California.

BREAKING: Trump says he will NOT apologize for posting the racist Obama video because he didn’t make a mistake. No remorse whatsoever. This isn’t leadership.
