Great to be back on Victoria Embankment and walk past my old friend, and favourite example of how men vs women are depicted in statues: man, real historical figure, literally just a head because he’s so brainy; woman: mythical, fawning, forgot to get dressed
“It’s almost as if you gave a pen to an oil lobbyist and wrote down everything that they’d want.”
— Rep. @AOC (D-NY) slams H.R. 1, a GOP package to expand fossil fuel production and repeal a number of environmental regulations, and repeal portions of the Inflation Reduction Act
Maybe I’m old fashioned, but it seems like the wife of a sitting Supreme Court Justice raising over half a million dollars to wage a culture war on half the country should be the leading story everywhere.
It should also be disqualifying for her husband to sit on *the* Court.
I just exited the DC Jail on behalf of @OversightDems. The actions of our Republican colleagues inside the facility and their lies about the visit are shameful.
Rep. @AOC (D-NY) slams House Republicans:
“We’re having a hearing right now, and it’s about what? That the federal government is too woke? … And then there’s no definition of what woke is.”
BREAKING: In a completely fascist move, Lee County Florida's Executive Committee has voted & passed the "Ban the Jab" resolution, asking Governor DeSantis to ban the sale and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. This sounds like something Putin would do in Russia!
The resolution literally calls the COVID vaccine a "bioweapon," and will land on the desk of DeSantis where he must either act for or against the resolution.
It's funny how Republicans all talk about freedom, but now they want to take the freedom of getting vaccinated away from the American people.
This isn't freedom! It's Fascism!
@Angry_Staffer “How much of US food does California produce?
Over a third of the country's vegetables and three-quarters of the country's fruits and nuts are grown in California. California's top 10 valued commodities for the 2021 crop year are: Dairy Products, Milk — $7.57 billion.”
Hey there! In case you forgot, we sit on the same committee, which debated for the first time this week.
I don’t blame you if you forgot. You spent almost no time there. In the few minutes you did show up, you claimed one elementary school got *$5 billion dollars* to teach CRT🤣
@GregAbbott_TX There’s ample supply, but if only there was a reliable network of interconnected transmission lines in the state to get it where it’s needed…🤔🤔🤔🔌
Rep. Ilhan Omar delivers a powerful speech in her own defense as the GOP looks to oust her from the Foreign Affairs Committee.
"I am an American."
BRAVO!!!!!!👏👏👏
"I had a member of the Republican caucus threaten my life and the Republican caucus rewarded him with one of the most prestigious committee assignments in this Congress."
Watch Rep. AOC respond to Republicans' removal of Rep. @Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee ⬇️
#TyreNichols family asked this be the video we share of him.
Watch it & know Tyre, like all our loved ones, deserved to live a long beautiful life free from state sanctioned murder. For Black & brown folks around the US, police violence is the greatest threat to that future.
AOC: Let's break down this myth that oil companies need even more permits.. The oil industry already possesses 9000 unused permits on federal land. Nearly 5000 permitted in 2021 alone. The oil industry already has 10 years of unused leases…
Tough Cowboys loss. I haven’t seen a Texas defense collapse like that since the state’s junior senator was asked to defend his wife against Donald Trump.
Go Niners.
