The Supreme Court is facing a major corruption crisis.
I'm proud to introduce the High Court Gift Ban Act, with @RepRaskin and @SenatorLujan, to remove the influence of dark money from our nation’s highest judicial body.
We must safeguard the sanctity of our democracy.
Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."
AOC: This is an inhaler pump. We’ve seen that AstraZeneca had this treatment where the actual medication inside did not change at all… But they filed a new patent to maintain exclusivity.
Can you guess what the great innovation was that made it worth preventing this from going generic? It’s this little plastic piece right here. One of the big features of that new patent was this thing to keep the cap from coming off.
That was a major part of the new patent they filed to extend exclusivity and prevent this life-saving drug from going generic, bringing down costs for ever
Thank you for your leadership, @GovKathyHochul.
A data center moratorium gives lawmakers time to put strong protections in place and guarantee AI benefits all of us, not just a powerful few.
AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened.
When you open the trenches with all of this money that Republicans have now funneled to ICE without any oversight, you’re going to see abuses of power. That’s exactly what’s happening.
Notice that we didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree of regularity when we froze ICE funding. And now that it’s been opened up again, we’re seeing multiple incidents.
NBC and ABC will not carry Trump on their respective networks but will carry on their digital feeds NBC News Now and ABC News Live. Expect CBS to do same.
"The Israelis are out of control."
Rep. @LaurenUnderwood confirms she will vote in favor of Rep. Thomas Massie's amendment to cut off military aid to Israel.
AOC on Susan Collins touting the money she got for body cameras and ICE training in the DHS bill.
“Senator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.”
The American people are sick and tired of status quo politics.
They’re sick and tired of AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super PACs buying elections.
They’re ready to elect leaders like Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and Donavan McKinney to Congress. https://t.co/uHKz4tvtfp
The political establishment is getting nervous.
We’re building a movement to take on concentrated wealth and power and create an economy that works for all.
That's why we’re in Michigan to get out the vote for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and Will Lawrence. https://t.co/X0hGNWYCTR
Together, we can stand up to the billionaire class and create a government that represents working families.
It’s time to vote for Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate primary on August 4. https://t.co/StHKQHCagZ
The billionaires may have unlimited amounts of money, but we have something far more powerful. We have the people.
Minnesotans are going to show the country what organized people can do and elect Peggy Flanagan to the U.S. Senate. https://t.co/e7jbJhrcm5
.@AOC speaking out against data centers: “Ask Peter Thiel, ask Elon Musk, ask Mark Zuckerberg if they want one of these data centers in their own backyard..”
AOC: An alternative point of consideration here, in terms of New York State’s recent moratorium—the kind of thought that, well, if you don’t want to build in your backyard, then maybe you shouldn’t have access to compute. We could say to the Silicon Valley billionaires who are constructing, pushing, and imposing these data centers on communities that are overwhelmingly rural, disenfranchised, and poor.
Ask if they want one of these data centers in their own backyard. Ask any one of us here on this committee. If anyone wants to live right next to one of these centers, please raise your hand.
