@osbornforne No one is talking about this enough. 1 single vote. Couldn’t be bothered to show up to represent our people. Billionaires have had this country bend over backwards for their trickle down economics BS to work and has failed spectacularly. We need MASSIVE change, I hope you’re it!
Today, the Senate voted on the War Powers Resolution to rein in the Iran war and help put a stop to the forever wars. This bill would've required Congress to have a say before another dollar is spent. It failed by a single vote.
Want to guess the one Senator who didn't even show up?
Pete Ricketts.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
This is what oligarchy looks like.
50 billionaires have spent $433 million to buy the elections in November.
80% is going to candidates who supported a $1 trillion tax break for the top 1% & a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act.
We must end Citizens United.
Gavin Newsom: “I’m not naive about the fact that the president made a billion and a half plus dollars in the last 12 months personally. How in the hell are we putting up with this? We have to call this out. Unprecedented in American history happening in real time on our watch.”
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.
Buttigieg: In a country that amended its constitution so you could not purchase a beer and then realized it was a bad idea and amended it back, surely we can have an amendment clarifying that a corporation is not a person and money is not speech.
