Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.
And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.
So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.
Good morning. Let me tell you how Trump's corruption works.
The U.S. wouldn't allow the chipmaker, Nvidia, to sell advanced chips to China. But that was costing Nvidia billions in profit - so they just wrote huge checks to Trump's vanity projects, and Trump changed his mind.
@StephenMoore Supply and demand. No one wants to live in those states. People pay more to live in California because so many individuals want to live there.
“If we don’t measure food insecurity, no one’s hungry”
“If we delete research on right-wing violence, there’s no right-wing violence”
“If we don’t release inflation data, there’s no inflation”
“If we stop Covid testing, we’ll have fewer cases”
You see what’s happening, right?
Trump is directing the DOJ to prosecute his political enemies “now”.
The Pentagon is banning journalism.
The FCC is targeting critics of the President to get them taken off air.
Trump’s border czar took cash bribes and Patel’s FBI dropped the case.
That’s just this week.
Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.
They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.
They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.
“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.
@Acyn He doesn’t care about people who didn’t vote for him. I don’t even think he cares about people who did. But I know he doesn’t care about Tim Scott.
@elonmusk You helped Trump get elected, and he is the most anti-solar president in history. If you cared about solar, then you should have supported Kamala, who would have kept in place the solar tax credits.
The senators who were bullied into confirming Kash Patel, how are you feeling today? It’s not like you weren’t warned that this guy would be comfortable politicizing the agency. Trump couldn’t have done this without the weak senate GOP enabling.
I wish conservatives got this straight:
Without blue states, America would look like a failing country; patchy internet, collapsing schools, no tech, no medicine, no future.
Red states cash the federal checks. Blue states write them.
You don’t fund the nation. You bleed it dry.
The math is simple: the places screaming the loudest bring the least to the table.
