This sums up pretty well the systemic rot that is capitalism. The whole racket is rigged to favor of the 1%.

[Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia]

People are being killed in our streets, racially profiled, having their homes broken into without warrants, and crammed into private, for-profit detention centers. And all of it is being funded with our tax dollars.

Enough is enough! We need to pass the Melt ICE Act and end this reign of terror.

DOJ is now 0-18 on cases to obtain state voter files. This includes cases lost before 11 judges appointed by Republicans and 8 by Donald Trump.

We can stay tuned, but it is over.

Minnesota is one of the first states to allow vets to donate unused pet medicine to owners and shelters in need, thanks to bipartisan legislation passed by the state legislature. This will help more pets receive the medications they need while putting unused medicine to good use.

Some Haitians living legally in the U.S. fear deportation after the Supreme Court found that the Trump administration can cancel their temporary humanitarian protections.

Confusion over whether TPS has actually ended for them is escalating. https://t.co/BtEQbJ7lVU

“This is not the America I fought for. We used to look out for people that needed help.” Gen. Russel Honore (Ret.), an expert in disaster zones with deep experience in Haiti, tells me Trump administration plans to deport hundreds of thousands of migrants back to Haiti is “cruel."

I'm proud to be the first and only sitting U.S. Senator to take the Political Integrity Pledge.

No corporate PAC money.

No stock trading for members of Congress.

Overturn Citizens United.

We need to get big money out of politics and end the corruption now.

Teen shares experience being taken into ICE detention and its impact now, as he wears a required tracking bracelet: "In Louisiana, they keep me in solitary for two days for no reason...At some place, we were strip searched, we ate horrible food and it made us sick."

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

While Trump profits off the presidency, Senator @ossoff is focused on calling out corruption that’s increasing costs for you.

His opponent, Mike Collins? Too busy dodging questions about his dangerous ties to white nationalists.

Georgia voters have a clear choice.

I would never eat dinner with Donald Trump. I would never clap or laugh at his jokes. I would never shake his hand. When he attacks me, I wear his scorn as a badge of honor.

We fought tooth and nail to create a program to lower drug costs for seniors, and now Trump is killing it. 

It's cruel and just plain wrong. Our seniors should be able to afford medication, not priced out of life-saving healthcare.

Just to show you how great of a businessman Trump is, he decided to put tariffs on a country we had free trade with. What's better than free? He decided that Americans should pay more for the products we get from Canada.

More recently, here in Michigan (Detroit). Canada built an expansion bridge from Canada to America. It's called the Gordie Howe Bridge. Howe was a Canadian and Detroit Red Wing hockey player who played for Detroit for 25 years. He was a 21 time all-star, a Hall of Famer and brought 4 Stanley Cups to Detroit.

Canada built the bridge at a cost of $4 billion dollars. Not one cent was paid for by the United States. Yet, Canada is splitting bridge revenue 50/50 with the United States. Trump keeps delaying the opening of the bridge, saying he is trying to negotiate a better deal for the U.S. What's better than free money?

Can you now understand the six bankruptcies and that he's never been a great businessman?

According to NY Times, the disgraced general Flynn already has received $1 million settlement from the government as result of Trump’s slush fund. The slush fund is not dead. Todd Blanche is lying. That’s why his nomination vote delayed.
