When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:

Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks

Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this corrupt system.

Confirmed again, for a fourth time: the greatest anti-dementia treatment ever discovered is the Shingles vaccine.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Mike Rogers voted to raise prescription drug prices 60 times.
Architected the legislation that kicked off the opioid epidemic.
Took a $14 million payout as a pharma lobbyist.
Lives in Florida.

We're going to beat him in November.

@ECaliberSeven Is Shomari Figures running?

To become a trillionaire, to treat people and laws and our common home in the way required to get that rich, you have to be a sociopath of some kind

Elon could straight up buy a house for every homeless individual in the United States and still be the richest man on the planet by hundreds of billions of dollars. He won’t do that though.

[Roy Scott @royscottness]

No, make buybacks illegal as they effectively were prior to 1982

This system of stock buybacks is about the purest demonstration of value extraction and redistribution to enrich already-wealthy shareholders

[Protect Our Care @ProtectOurCare]

$1 trillion is the same amount of money that the Trump Administration cut from Medicaid and the ACA last year. It is money that could be used to help millions of Americans across the country access the care that is being stripped away.

Roughly the same amount is sitting in the hands of same man who directed the federal government to cut funding for global health programs, children's cancer research, disease prevention, veteran health care, vaccine development, public health and safety services, contaminant prevention, and life-saving scientific research.

People have to start gofundmes to pay for cancer treatment

@CourtyardBrew @jdfromthe504 Yeah I think the biggest problem New Orleans faces right now is our declining population. It’s almost laughable that 10 years ago people were worried about hipsters moving in. If only we had an influx of young people right about now.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.

History's first trillionaire.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

@HunterBiden @seankelly014 Def wouldn’t have expected something so thoughtful from you.

Tulio Huggins responds to a podcast episode from Catholic priests on Pride Month, writing that a myopic view of LGBTQ+ people has no place in the church. https://t.co/p1WujIrzcH

[Steven Rattner @SteveRattner]

Inflation has overtaken wages for the first time in 3 years.

That means Americans’ incomes are shrinking in real terms, largely because of the Iran war.

NEW: Ken Paxton backed the DOGE cuts that weakened screwworm defenses and put Texas cattle at risk. https://t.co/5IwnvPhvSU

For Fr. James Martin, SJ, the tenth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting tomorrow calls us to renewed solidarity with LGBTQ people: “Pulse invites us, the church, to stand with them.” Read more at Outreach.

🚨🚨🚨The Trump administration is secretly setting it up so SICK PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE OUT LOANS FROM THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES in order to afford the rising costs of health care.

"Dear migrants: Before I say anything else I want to bow before your dignity. ... You are not just numbers or files. You are people who have left behind families and homes. You have dreams that no one has the right to despise.”

[Ta-Nehisi Quotes @steady_drumbeat]

Platner wrote a ton about his political beliefs on Reddit. He didn’t think it’d be read. He was a woke BLM guy who talked about the struggles of LGBT marines & got into arguments with Holocaust revisionists. There is no Nazi on earth who would talk like this. It’s dispositive.
