We are eternally grateful to the Allen family for their incredible leadership and impact on our franchise, the 12s, and our greater community for the past nearly 30 years.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.
And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.
So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.
This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like:
Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 billion in profit.
Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All.
@_B_035_@Ridzilla This! ☝ And a few avatar-related games. 1v100? A revamped Fusion Frenzy? I'm certain Double Fine would have some quirky ideas for this, doesn't need to be big budget.
The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion.
For $22.8 billion, we could:
• Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids
• Build 2.6 million public housing units
• Fund Head Start for 1.3 million
• Hire 240,000 teachers
• Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers
.@JamesTalarico: It doesn’t matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we’re running against — the billionaire megadonors and their corrupt political system.
We are running against this broken system and the powerful people who broke it.
They’re scared of the movement we’re building together. They’re going to throw everything they have at us. They’ll call me a radical leftist. They’ll call me a fake Christian. They’ll call our movement un-Texan, un-American. They’ll call us a threat.
The only truth in that is that we are a threat — a threat to their corrupt system.
Employee: It looks like we made $1.3 billion this year.
Boss: That’s terrible news.
Employee: Uh, that’s a lot of money. Why is that terrible news?
Boss: Because last year we also made $1.3 billion.
Employee: Oh right, I forgot — it’s not enough to make an insane amount of money. We also have to make more than we used to.
Boss: That’s correct. And simply paying our executives seven-figure salaries won’t cut it. We need more.
Employee: Alright, I guess we could try making our product better to sell more.
Boss: Hmm, that sounds expensive and hard.
Employee: How about we create some new products to sell?
Boss: No, that’s going to take forever. I need an immediate solution I can implement right now — something that makes me look really good and takes basically zero effort.
Employee: Oh, please no.
Boss: Layoffs!
Congratulations to the Super Bowl champion @Seahawks! This defense was special. MVP Kenneth Walker was dominant. And Sam Darnold gave us one of the best comeback stories in a long time. Enjoy the celebration.
Today’s American History Lesson: Puerto Rico has been part of the U.S. since 1898, and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917 🇵🇷 🇺🇸
We’ve cheered many non-Americans at the #SuperBowl. Bad Bunny isn’t one of them.
