Abdul El-Sayed: “I want to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All. I’ve never met somebody who was like I want more money in politics, less money in my pocket and Medicare for none. The problem is too often Democrats and Republicans have bipartisan consensus around issues that are critical to people’s lives because both parties take money from the same corporations that want to rig the system against us”
$8,027,347.68. That's what AI billionaires have spent to beat one NY assemblymember—Alex Bores, who wrote the toughest AI safety law in the country.
It's backfiring. Early voting is open NOW, the primary is Tuesday, June 23. If you're in NY-12, show up.

She borrowed $49,548.74 in student loans.
120 payments later, she’s paid $25,558 — and now owes $50,121.
She’s paid on it for years and still owes more than what she originally borrowed.
The entire thing is a SCAM to enslave the young people.
"If Bores wins the primary, it has the potential to clarify and perhaps even transform the federal debate about regulating artificial intelligence. On the other hand, if he loses, Bores and others fear that cautious Democrats—in New York and nationally—could be even less likely to stand up to the AI tech billionaires."
We can't let the oligarchs win.

The 500 richest people on the globe added $336 billion to their fortunes on Monday, bringing their collective net worth to a record $13.3 trillion.
Read that back.
Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.
I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security.
Will you join me?🤚
This is huge.
For months, I have been working to stop the construction of a massive 10,000-person ICE facility in Social Circle, Georgia.
We just learned DHS is cancelling it.
The power of the people is always more powerful than the people in power.
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:
Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks
Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this corrupt system.
Elon Musk donated $277 million to elect Trump.
Trump let him gut the IRS.
Elon’s SpaceX took a $1.9 billion tax break that they believed wouldn’t be allowed if the IRS audited them.
Your reminder that billionaire and corporate PAC donations are bribes.

@marceelias 40% of all the shares held in U.S. corporations are held by foreign investors living outside the U.S. https://t.co/4hn1udCCNJ
Yet SCOTUS said they could spend unlimited money in our elections bc they were "associations of citizens". More SCOTUS bs.
Corps celebrate only profit.
Corporate America has turned its back on democracy and bowed down to Trump. When, in the future, it once agains becomes convenient for them to say they celebrate democracy we should not believe them.
In the meantime, we are on our own.
a reminder that America is devoted to making sure that the wages you earn doing actual work are taxed at a far higher rate than the passive income rich people make in their sleep doing literally nothing
@4freedom321@NewsomNews As soon as the election is certified (7/10) Trump's DOJ will file charges against Becerra, but I do not believe it will be about tapping into campaign funds.
@Emolclause Were there follow up questions about the ways in which he has personally profited from the DOGE scam? I'd like to have a peek at his portfolio, would you, @OversightDems?
Only 16% of Americans support arming Israel without restrictions.
So what is Congress doing? Burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally.
We must strip Section 224 from the Pentagon budget.
Acting AG Todd Blanche gave me his “word” DOJ will drop the so-called “anti-weaponization” slush fund—but refused to put it in writing. Meanwhile Trump is saying the opposite. We can’t take these people at their word.
@RepRaskin and I are pushing legislation to ensure taxpayer dollars aren’t used to bankroll a president’s personal agenda.
