House Republicans plan to unveil a bill next month, likely including plans for $3.5 trillion in tax breaks for the wealthy and giant corporations. They want to slash critical programs for hardworking Americans, and then turn around & spend more on their rich buddies. Outrageous.
We have 870 federal judges in this country, and a basic code of conduct applies to all but nine: our Supreme Court justices.
We can't allow justices to be for sale to the highest billionaire bidders. Congress must reform the Court to prevent further corruption.
The debt ceiling doesn’t keep our national debt down, but it does threaten long-term financial harm.
Watch me apply a debt ceiling to everyday life—and see why it doesn’t work.
We need to claw back lavish pay from failed bank executives.
CEOs who blow up their banks — by loading up on risk to boost their profits and pad their pockets — should not walk away scot-free as the government cleans up their mess.
I’ve got a bipartisan bill to get it done.
As a boycotter, I wonder…
Imagine, if you will, the crushing blow to Donald Trump’s fragile, narcissistic ego if CNN had rescinded its invitation. Or, imagine — had they carried on with the imbecilic spectacle and things unfolded differently — if Trump received little to no applause throughout the course of the #CNNTownHall. Sparse cheers. Even better: Silence and boos for the traitor. Why in the world is anyone cheering a lying, cheating, monstrous sexual abuser? Why?
Is @CNN still going to do a town hall with the sexual predator twice impeached insurrectionist former president @realDonaldTrump?
I’m not watching it. I think it’s absurd for a major news network to normalize Trump.
Our Supreme Court isn't just conservative; it's corrupted. The Court caters to special interest donors, including by choosing which cases to hear and which to ignore.
We can clean up the Court through a code of ethics and term limits—and by expanding the number of justices.
[NEW] Defrauding the Voters of Mecklenburg
It's obvious that @triciacotham lied to the voters of Mecklenburg county - that much is clear.
She was likely recruited by the NCGOP to run as a trojan horse candidate in a county they can no longer win.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells The Lever that if somebody doesn't introduce articles of impeachment for Clarence Thomas soon, she will, in the wake of ProPublica's bombshell reporting about his luxury vacations from a Republican megadonor.
For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.
The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇
