@MichaelSteele @AntiToxicPeople In the same week we learn that CityBank had to close hundreds of Trump accounts for MONEY LAUNDERING and the same week Trump paid more than a million of our tax dollars to a J6 terrorist. Sick @JohnCornyn @ThomTillis

@MichaelSteele The court ruled Blanche should be referred to his BAR for disciplinary action, Cornyn and Tillis be like "Let's me him AG!"

@MichaelSteele @AdamKinzinger Wow it’s almost like the Slush Fund was a smokescreen to get the IRS “pardon” through. Funny how this is coming together on the heels of the Capital One Bank reports.

@MichaelSteele HISTORIC levels of CORRUPTION by the TRUMP FAMILY MOB couldn’t have been achieved without @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.

🚨 Texas now leads the country in the number of sex offenders, with 75,710 total.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I'm old enough to remember when Greg Abbott justified signing the "Heartbeat Act" by saying he'd "eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out, arresting them, and prosecuting and getting them off the streets."

So, THAT was a lie, Texas.

BREAKING: 56 bipartisan former judges urge SCOTUS to leave Trump's mail voting EO blocked

The EO is anti-voter & anti-constitutional. POTUS is attempting to seize power he does not have

@DDFund_ @CampaignLegal & Platkin LLP are proud to rep the judges👇

One month ago today: U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro claims she has “tremendous evidence” against David Hearn for vandalizing the Reflecting Pool.

She lied. Secretary Burgum lied. White House staff lied. Trump lied.

There will be no consequences.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Trump's lawyers ADMITTED to STEALING money from blue states, just because they didn’t vote for him.

I am demanding every last cent be restored. This isn’t Trump’s money. These are taxpayer dollars and I won’t let this kind of lawless corruption stand.

The stunning thing about this pile-on re: Fauci by a handful of GOP senators is the total lack of interest by these supposedly outraged senators at the person who had the power at the time. Fauci gave recommendations. Trump’s the one who had all the power. Their lack of interest in Trump’s role is an obvious tell. This is manufactured nonsense.

BREAKING: "It is theft!" James Talarico unleashes a show-stopping takedown of failed "trickle-down economics" and explains EXACTLY how billionaires are robbing us blind.

This message is resonating with a hell of a lot of Texans...

"This is the rot at the core of this broken system. It's why we can't afford anything. It's why we can't get ahead no matter how hard we work," the Democratic Senate candidate said. "For 50 years, billionaire mega donors have been buying politicians like Ken Paxton, and then those politicians turn around and rig the rules of the economy in favor of those billionaires at our expense."

Paxton is the perfect avatar for the kind of corrupt crony capitalism that Talarico is criticizing. This MAGA crook was impeached by his own party as state attorney general for accepting bribes. He's never met a corporate donor too dirty to take money from. He exists to enrich himself and serve the powerful oligarchic powers that are stripping this country for parts.

"They have been stealing, stealing from the American people with bribes, with bailouts, with billionaire tax breaks," said Talarico. "They have been selling us a lie that the best way to motivate the people at the top is to give them more of our money."

"Trickle-down economics is not a theory. It is theft! They have been stealing the wealth that we all created," he went on. "It's why everything sucks right now. It's why people are so angry. Because the American people aren't asking for a lot..."

"A job we don't hate, a house big enough to raise a family in, and a little left over to go on vacation every once in a while. That is harder than it should be. Harder than it should be in America," he said.

"We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis. We don't have a government of, by, and for the people. Things would be different if we did," said Talarico. "We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires. The system is working exactly as it was intended to work."

More and more Americans are waking up to the truth that Talarico is sharing here, which is exactly why Republicans are cranking up the dial on their "communism" screeching. They can't argue against our need for affordable housing, healthcare, and groceries so they resort to pathetic Cold War fearmongering. They're absolutely terrified that we are going to unrig the system and give everyone a fair share in the American economy.

With bold candidates like James Talarico leading the way, we can take back our country!

Please ❤️ and share if you agree with James Talarico!

CNN’s @stiles made a fantastic searchable and expandable chart showing how the prices of 332 products/categories have increased or decreased — mostly increased — since Trump returned to office. Way easier to use than the BLS website; highly recommended: https://t.co/RU7ajbqLWw

@CalltoActivism No extension of the enhanced ACA subsidies. Premiums exploded. Millions dropped coverage. Mission accomplished. #RepublicansCutHealthcare

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Un-fucking-believable.

Just moments after voting to cut $2 TRILLION of services including from Medicare and Medicaid - and coverage for Alzheimer’s medication - House Republicans closed by praying in a moment of silence. Never forget.
