Many of you are asking how you can help me.
My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. https://t.co/7W0yoPHUfA
We don’t have to put up with this. Not these policies or these politicians or even this system of politics. It's time for us to chase out corruption and build a politics that actually responds to the people.
James Talarico: “When we win this race, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption agenda. Getting big money out of our politics by overturning Citizens United, banning corporate PACs and Super PACs so billionaires aren’t making unlimited donations to our campaigns, and banning members of Congress from trading stocks and enriching themselves while they’re in public office. We must pass term limits so people aren’t making a career out of public service. We must overhaul the Supreme Court so we can have confidence in the highest court in the land. And we must pass a national ban to end gerrymandering once and for all in every state in the union”

If you were to list the top 1000 real problems in the United States, voter fraud wouldn't be one of them. It's not even in the top 10,000. Donald Trump made this up in order to make it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat.
When Trump blocks clean energy, he raises your costs. Period. Worse, he’s doing it on purpose, to steer your money to his cronies’ expensive fossil fuel plants — a payback to his big donors, at your expense. https://t.co/mtnym2KE1W
The essential feature of our national park system is “its essential democracy … the preservation of the scenery, of the forests, of the wilderness …for the people as a whole instead of leaving the enjoyment thereof to be confined to the very rich who can control private reserves.” - T Roosevelt

Teachers can only write-off $350 of those classroom supplies on their taxes, but CEOs can write-off the full cost of their private jets and yachts.
This is what a system rigged by oligarchs looks like.
