To influence politicians, you need to know what motivates them.

Politicians have one main goal: To get re-elected.

[Laura Ferejohn @FereJohn]

Why aren’t @ABC @NBCNews @CBSNews @MSNBC @CNN @FoxNews asking serious hard news questions of all politicians and policy makers? Because they are not breaking news, they’re keeping score of a pretend game. A pox on both their houses!

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Why aren’t reporters asking Manchin and Sinema why they voted to carve out the filibuster to raise the debt ceiling last month?

[Rebecca Parson @rebeccaeparson]

The societal breakdown we’re seeing right now is just a fraction of what will happen if we don’t end the fossil fuel industry.

Instead Republicans and Democrats are approving drilling permits with wild abandon.

BREAKING NEWS: Michigan’s Attorney General announces that the fake Republican electors who tried to help Trump steal Biden’s win by forging documents are now facing at least 19 years in prison. RT IF YOU THINK THAT THEY SHOULD ALL BE LOCKED UP!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

It is a sad day when two members of the Democratic Caucus are prepared to allow the Freedom to Vote Act to fail and undermine the future of American democracy. I hope very much they will reconsider their positions.

PSA: Martin Luther King Jr.’s family is calling for no celebration of MLK Day without action on voting rights legislation.

Spread the word.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Remember how Representative Katie Porter used to brilliantly hold financial power to account with her whiteboard in those hearings?

The reason why that doesn't happen as much is that the Democratic leadership decided she shouldn't be on the financial services committee anymore.

In 1890, the filibuster was used to block legislation to protect the right of Black Americans to vote.

Fast forward 132 years, and the filibuster is once again being used to block legislation to protect the right to vote of communities of color.

Abolish the Jim Crow filibuster.

Democrats when they’re campaigning:

“This is the most important election in history. Vote blue or democracy dies.”

Democrats when they’re in power:

— Expand fossil fuel subsidies
— Oppose Medicare 4 All
— Increase military budget
— Serve the ruling class
— Betray working class

Just Saying: Aaron Rogers is protesting in the name of MAGA uninformed anti-vaxxers and keeps his job. Colin Kaepernick protests peacefully for equality and is rejected by the NFL. There is something seriously wrong with American sports society.

Every few months, I repost “Good Bones” by Maggie Smith because it’s just so goddamn beautiful.

[Shahid Buttar (find me on Substack and BlueSky) @ShahidForChange]

How do you describe broadcast outlets that give platforms to elected leaders who duck public debates against informed challengers?

Alternatively, what does it say about our country that Congress is led by a figure who has not debated anyone since 1987?

Every sentient being must be identified and treated as living, feeling legal persons. Profit or convenience is not a good or legitimate reason to kill a fellow living being.Choosing to kill b/c a species is different is an excuse not a reason. #GoVegan

No! He must be prosecuted and, if found guilty and do serious prison time. No country club resorts that people pretend are jail! If no one is above the law than do the same time as anyone else. Shouldn’t be able to able to buy better!

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Would you agree to a Trump pardon if one of the conditions was he could NOT run for office again?

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

If you are asking for a raise, quitting your job for something better, or organizing with a union to demand better pay and working conditions, you are not only helping yourself, you are are being patriotic and helping workers everywhere. And that’s coming from me as a CEO.

@thomaskaine5 No, but they can feel positive and negative energy, anger, sadness, kindness and love. Recognizing these traits and others would be evolutionarily necessary for their survival as a species.

As much as I hate to say it, being a woman (Susan Collins, Blackburn, almost every Republican woman in office) doesn’t make you right. Policy and honor are more important than genitalia.

@Battino4Senate @ladewd1 Supporting you from MN. It's time WI joined MN in having 2 women each in the Senate. It's time to let the ladies save democracy!
