The GOP has become the Trump-Fox News Party, headed by a demagogue and fueled by a propaganda machine. It now runs all 3 branches of the federal government, and most of the states. But only 27% of American voters are Republican. Will the rest of America rise up November 6th? https://t.co/92nOHdjhEt
The NSA values AT&T not only because it “has access to information that transits the nation,” but also because it maintains unique relationships with other phone and internet providers, according to the NSA’s documents. https://t.co/zvpYOWgxuS
The most important surveillance story you will see for years just went online, revealing how @ATT became the internet's biggest enemy, secretly collaborating against its customers and partners to destroy your privacy. https://t.co/nUGPjFSYh5
Ocasio-Cortez outlined plans to transition the United States to a 100% renewable energy system by 2035. It’s a goal hailed... as the last best hope of staving off the most catastrophic effects of human-caused global warming.

Corporate interests have been rigging the system against workers for decades – and the Supreme Court just handed those interests a huge victory in #Janus v. AFSCME. But I’ve got news for the billionaires behind this case: we’re not going anywhere. #Union
I would not be where I am today without the labor movement. The #SCOTUS decision in #JANUSvsAFSCME is another attack on working people all across our country. No court case will divide us. We will continue to fight for strong unions and the rights of workers.
Supreme Court this wk:
Scam artists have constitutional rights to trick women into not having an abortion
Trump has right to ban Muslims from entering US
Corporations gets to blow up unions, take away voice of working people
Guess what? The fight isn’t over. We’re still here.
This decision is a victory for the wealthy Republican donors and dark-money shadow groups that spent more than $17 billion to steal a seat on the Supreme Court and tilt the court further in favor of corporate interests. Today, the Republican majority gave them what they paid for. https://t.co/pYVN1Jib4i
Next time you hear someone railing against immigrants, mention these facts:
1) Immigrants add ~$1.5 trillion to U.S. GDP annually.
2) They are less likely to commit crimes.
3) They pay billions in taxes every year.
4) Illegal border crossings were down before Trump.
Now more than ever, we must all stand with, and on the shoulders of, organized labor. They are the best institutional counterweight to right wing superpacs, and they are the best strategy to build the middle class. Labor has my back, and I’ve got labors’ back.
The #antibiotics market for farm animals is rapidly increasing.
Big #Pharma continues to profit as routine antibiotic use in factory farms makes us all less safe...

Yet another immigration bill would require increased drone surveillance, more facial recognition scanning at airports, and upgraded ALPRs. Immigration reform should not come with increased border spy tech. https://t.co/NsjGYwurZO
Thank you, @JoeCrowleyNY, for your support and longstanding service to our community.
I look forward to working towards a takeback of the House on a strong platform of economic, social, and racial justice for working class New Yorkers & Americans.
Let’s do this. https://t.co/bhYclAXjiA
“It is outrageous that industrial climate-killers banned several years ago continue to be produced, used and emitted at this scale in an industry where better technology is easily available."

If you care about fixing CA’s transit & roads, please spread the word to defeat this destructive ballot measure. We passed the largest transportation funding measure in CA history. If it’s repealed, our roads & transit will just continue to deteriorate. https://t.co/XXVp8EWReI
This decision from the Supreme Court upholds a policy that is an affront to our values. Trump's Muslim Ban is discriminatory and betrays our country’s history as a nation of immigrants. https://t.co/OzrqkOqPNP
