It's been almost 20 years since Paul Wellstone died—where are the moral leaders that have followed his path? Where are the new progressive heroes? Who is standing up to the status quo?
Would he be proud how people hide behind his legacy while lacking any political courage?
Here’s who wants Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices:
91% of Democrats
85% of Independents
76% of Republicans
84% of seniors
It’s time to listen to the American people. Congress must finally have the courage to stand up to the greed of Big Pharma.
Right-wingers say they have a right to own guns just in case they need to shoot lawless government agents, but some exceptions apply, apparently. https://t.co/rrIfUzO31V
Money pouring from the super-rich to @RepJoshG and his fellow @ProbSolveCaucus obstructionists trying to block #BuildBackBetter: just the sort of quid pro quo that undermines our democracy, right @RepDeanPhillips? https://t.co/uYub9AI5mQ
Decades of hypermilitarism to fight a war against an intangible, omnipresent enemy PLUS decades of upward wealth redistribution PLUS a flood of guns PLUS two ruling parties delegating power to the banks and corporations = who could have imagined all this political instability??
Never imagined our United States of America would place in the bottom half of world nations on a ranking of political stability and absence of violence and terrorism. This must be our clarion call to action.
I want to congratulate the pharmaceutical industry. While 1 out of 4 Americans can't afford to fill their prescriptions, and over 25% of diabetics ration insulin, the industry made over $50 billion in profits last year and the top 10 CEOs made $500 million. Greed. Greed. Greed.
Well, looks like it's official: Sacramento experienced its *wettest day on record* yesterday, shortly after experiencing its longest consecutive dry spell on record...all in the midst of an extreme to record-breaking drought. Wow. #CAwx#CAwater
That’s why I screamed,“THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOU!”, at Paul Gosar on the House floor on Jan 6 as he was undermining our democracy and his traitorous devotees were storming the Capitol.
Enbridge punctured this aquifer in January, 10 months ago, and kept their negligent violation secret until June. It is still gushing water, estimated by geologists to be 100 million gallons by now. #EnbridgeLies and cannot be trusted. #StopLine3. @AGEllison@POTUS@USACEHQ
We are tired of waiting for climate action, @POTUS.
Your inaction is undermining our efforts to deliver good jobs, environmental justice, and a renewable energy future.
You have the power to stop fossil fuel expansion and halt dangerous pipelines now. Now is the time to use it.
EXCLUSIVE: Jan. 6 Protest Organizers Say They Participated in "Dozens" of Planning Meetings With Members of Congress and White House Staff https://t.co/zlNIXW0hk8
The same politicians who want to fire Jan Malcom (most experienced Health Commish in Mn history)represent parts of MN where vac rates are below 50%, COVID surges and hospitals are overwhelmed. How about THEY do their job, tell people to mask and get a shot—or THEY get fired
