@RepJeffries oh please kiss their socialist asses so you can stay in political power. Them winning g will be bad for the US and New York will die a slow death. Money walks and the poor stay. It has happened before. Detroit is a very good reminder for all.
Congratulations to our newest members of the NYC congressional delegation.
From public servants to union organizers to community activists, the path is different but the work is the same.
We must decisively address the affordability crisis and crush far-right extremism!
@BernieSanders you are trying to sell the young a fantasy dream. Socialism has never worked and apparently we didn’t teach these kids history. You are OK with it because the political class always comes out as the ruling party. Let me know how socialism worked in Venezuela. Idiot
THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT IS GETTING NERVOUS
The political establishment — Democratic and Republican — is getting nervous. So are the Oligarchs and the corporate media they own.
The world they dominate is beginning to shake beneath them. Change is coming. And they don’t like it.
What we saw on Tuesday in New York, what we are seeing all across the country, is that ordinary people are getting involved in the political process, are taking on establishment candidates, and are winning. What is particularly frightening to the establishment is that many of the candidates, and their supporters, are young. The future belongs to them and they want that future to look very different from what it is today.
It’s not complicated. Progressives and democratic socialists are winning elections because the vast majority of the American people understand that status quo politics and policies are not working. You don’t have to be a PhD in economics to know that in America today the very rich are getting much richer while the vast majority of our people are struggling to pay for the basic necessities — healthcare, housing, food, education and utilities. You don’t have to be a sociologist to realize that the younger generation will likely have a lower standard of living than their parents. You don’t need to be a political scientist to understand that we have a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires and their super PACS to buy elections, undermine democracy, and protect their privileged positions.
The American people, across the political spectrum, are rejecting the establishment’s uber-capitalist ideology, value system and priorities. They want an economy and a government that works for all, not just wealthy campaign contributors.
More and more Americans refuse to accept the current reality that:
One man, Mr. Musk, owns more than three times as much wealth as the bottom half of our society. That billionaires and large profitable corporations often pay an effective tax rate lower than truck drivers or nurses. They are demanding that the billionaire class starts paying their fair share of taxes.
We are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. They want Medicare for All.
Tens of millions of workers are earning starvation wages. They want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage and make it easier for workers to join unions.
Big Tech and the wealthiest people on earth are aggressively pushing AI and robotics, the most transformative technologies in history, without public input. They want these technologies to benefit all, not just the handful of billionaires who own the industry.
Nearly 800,000 Americans are homeless, and more than 20 million households are spending 50% or more of their limited incomes on housing. They want a freeze on rent and the construction of millions of units of low income and affordable housing.
@realSonjaShaw Shouldn’t all the liberals be protesting No Kings Day! Democrats love the do as I say not as I do or I don’t care that you voted to stop this. Don’t forget about the health insurance fee.
Can the Trump Administrative look any weaker on the world stage. Nothing like getting pushed around by lying Iran. Step up and finish them off. It doesn’t take ground troops. Just bomb oil refineries, rail, bridges, and IRCG. This is VP Vance’s fuck up too!!
BREAKING: Iran's IRGC announces it has struck "multiple high value US Army positions in the region" in response to today's US strikes on Iranian coasts near the Strait of Hormuz, per Tasnim.
The IRGC adds that "according to Clause 5 of the Islamabad MoU, the arrangements for controlling passage and traffic in the Strait of Hormuz are under the authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran," warning "if the aggression is repeated, our response will be broader than this."
This from a man who has 24 hour law enforcement protection and also authorized it for ex VP Harris after her secret service time ended. Got live the political elite. What is good for me is unsafe for you. I hate the political class above all else mentality.
Gun laws keep people safe. This ruling by Trump’s Supreme Court will only endanger people.
If Justice Alito really thinks people need guns to go to the grocery store “for self-defense,” this country is truly broken.
@WNBA this one is really simple. Just don’t buy tickets, merchandise, or watch once the money drops off significantly, she will finally be fired. This league will never be successful once Clark is done. Most of the new fans have already turned them off. Look at Indi ticket prices
NOTHING changes for Caitlin until this smug Commissioner is removed
Nothing
PRIORITY ONE for Caitlin fans at this point has to be to demand that this Commissioner goes
... ONLY THEN can we clean house and get legitimate referees into the league as competent as FIBA referees
@WNBA it is no wonder you have never made a profit. You had a cash cow and now have blown it up. Watching the no calls, horrible basketball, and violence isn’t a professional sport. Women’s college basketball is so much better. Lucky the @NBA will keep funding your losses.
@LindseyGrahamSC Here is an idea, President Trump just vetos the bill and everything is fine. Considering you have been in the Senate for years you should know this.
@_EricBeltran@TeamStubHub@StubHub isn’t even monitoring social media. They made their last posts the end of May. They have turned off comments. My guess is they will refund everyone’s money. Pay a $25 million settlement to lawyers and hope everyone forgets.
@IngrahamAngle The polymarkets are crap for political outcomes. This far out election predictions will have huge swings. Vance pissed off a huge portion of the base. Me included. I won’t vote for him and I am a conservative voter. Stop propping him up. If he wins the nomination Democrats win!
@RoKhanna You yourself are much richer than 95% of Americans. You are trading stocks on insider information, just like a majority of your fellow congressmen. Look at the fast wealth politicians get once they are sworn in. This is why you are all corrupt. You blame billionaires for cover.
@joekent16jan19 How the fuck were you ever put in charge of counter terrorism for this great country. You know absolutely nothing about showing power through strength. Israel has only defended its people. That is what the US should do. Defend its people from evil. Qatar must be paying you.
@JewishWarrior13@SusieWiles47 Ms. Wiles will resign as soon as democrats control the house. Trump impeachment will be their first agenda. Then hearings on the Supreme Court. The Iran agreement is what Trumps second term will be known for. It is over. Don’t believe the pundits. No Enthusiasm!
@AnamaMOSS 0 not even a 1. Negotiating is always from a position of power. Unfortunately, Iran knew Trumps weakness was oil and the economy. He caved because he couldn’t stomach a war. Iran never even followed the ceasefire. Neither did their terrorist allies in the region.
@LauraLoomer Whoever watches or listens to Tucker is just as CRAZY as he is. These far right talking heads have all lost their minds. They are bought and paid for by our enemies and unfortunately Americans are too stupid to know. Same thing happened on UK with their talking heads. Turn off!
@PamelaHensley22 The Save Act doesn’t have 50 votes in the senate. Plan and simple. Even if they didn’t have the filibuster, the senate couldn’t pass it. McConnell is in the hospital. Collin’s is a no. For sure Tillis and Cornyn aren’t giving Trump a win. Thune doesn’t have votes. Very sad day!
@LauraLoomer They have been breaking the ceasefire since the beginning of Trump is not going to do anything. He isn’t a war president. Iran will charge fees to pass through the strait. No deal on the removal of nuclear material. Trump will say we have the tools to monitor. Failure!
@DonaldJTrumpJr@tedcruz@realDonaldTrump Don Jr. this war action and now this ridiculous MOU with Iran will be downfall of your dads 2nd term. It will be his history, which is sad. He will not be able to legislate for his remaining 2 years. Impeachment and Democrat control here we come. This is a huge fuck up!
Can Secretary Rubio look any more ashamed and upset. This deal is terrible for America. The only deliverables from Iran is keep the Strait open, but sure charge fees. The US is delivering so much more. Money, troop retreat, and not allow alias to defend themselves. All for what?
NEW: "If we didn't do this deal, we could have dropped more bombs for another three weeks, two weeks, four weeks, two years."
President Trump says the agreement reached with Iran accomplished his core objectives: ending the conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and, most importantly, preventing Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.
He says military action could have continued indefinitely without delivering the same outcome, while pointing to surging markets and falling oil prices as signs of immediate economic impact.
