It's on video for the whole world to see, @PressSec .
You are literally Orwellian.
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final and most essential command."
Donald Trump just ordered the release of a convicted meth dealer who was serving an 8 year sentence in prison.
His father is Republican Congressman Steve Womack.
California dominates the scene:
- Tech innovation
- AI and quantum computing
- Venture capital
- Most Fortune 500 companies
- The world’s best higher education system
- The world’s best conveyor belt of talent and innovation
- A progressive tax system
It’s hard to get political news to break through to most Americans. But Facebook is flooded right now with this clip of Scott Bessent suggesting normal families own 5+ homes. A rare viral moment capturing how out of touch the GOP is with economic concerns.
The equation is simple: you can’t afford healthcare anymore because ICE agents are making 6-figure salaries and $50k signing bonuses. The money is not marked for life, liberty or happiness. It is set aside for state suppression.
A 5% wealth tax on 200 billionaires worth $2 trillion in California isn’t scary. They’d still be worth $1.9 trillion.
What’s scary is 1 out of 4 cancer patients in America either declare bankruptcy or lose their homes to eviction or foreclosure due to medical debt. That’s scary.
On Jan. 21, 2010, Citizens United changed our country by letting unlimited, secret money flood our political system.
Sixteen years later, we’re still living with the consequences: more corporate money, less transparency, and a system that works better for the wealthy and well-connected than for hardworking Americans. We need to change that.
UNFORGIVEABLE: A Minnesota doctor just revealed Renée Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent.
A physician on scene offered to administer aid and was denied.
In any courtroom, preventing medical aid after using deadly force isn’t just cruel, it’s an aggravating factor.
ICE is out of control. How do we know? Because we now have police officers taking the unprecedented step of publicly calling out the misconduct of ICE.
Here are two new numbers every American should know:
$4 billion – how much Trump and his family have profited off the presidency in just a year.
$1,600 – how much rising prices cost the average family during that same year.
Corruption, plain and simple.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital CEO pay: $26.3 million
Montefiore CEO pay: $16.7 million
Mount Sinai CEO pay: $5.4 million
Let’s be clear: These hospitals are not going broke. They can afford to provide their nurses with benefits and safe patient ratios.
Sen. WHITEHOUSE: Billionaire spending in our elections is up 160 times since Citizens United. Just 100 families poured a record-breaking $2.6 billion into federal elections in 2024. I don’t know how democracy survives in that environment.
16 years ago, SCOTUS ruled in Citizens United, allowing the ultra-rich to flood elections with dark money.
Since then, billionaires have taken over our gov’t and screwed over working people.
It’s time to pass my We the People Amendment to FINALLY reverse this disastrous ruling.
Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
