THIS is why they don’t like him. It’s not because he’s Muslim or socialist, it’s because he wants to stop their bipartisan gravy train.
🇺🇸 El-Sayed says the same people are financing the Republicans and the Democrats:
“People don't trust our party because too often we're funded by the very same people who fund Republicans... Can we actually cut the cord that we've had to corporate money and start governing like we give a damn about working people?”

Thomas Massie says he'll have the 218 signatures next week to force a House vote on a new Epstein files bill.
It would let survivors get their own records and let state attorneys general prosecute.

Hillary Clinton calls for a review of Elon Musk's government contracts: "His money is made largely through government contracts. That's part of what has to be done legislatively and through investigations. We need laws that tighten the rules on what people can get from the government."

Ford pardoned Nixon. The GOP got more corrupt under Reagan & Bush.
Trump pardoned 1500 J6 violent thugs. Several dozen have already committed more crimes.
“Moving on” does NOT work. The #TrumpCrimeFamily & all corrupt/criminal politicians MUST be held accountable. ALL of them.
Ben Meiselas has a message for Democrats:
"Subpoenas need to fly EVERY damn day."
"Every single committee, every damn day, doing oversight, subpoenaing people, calling them up, let them run scared, then go to court and sue their asses and force them to testify."
"We will live stream the shit out of that every damn day"

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations.
How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

The changes are fast and furious. Fuck ICE.
After a blue wave swept Texas, the Houston mayor announces that he's ending local police cooperation with ICE to "reduce fear and anxiety across our community."
The Houston Police Dept was forced to work with ICE after the Abbott threatened to pull more than $110 million in funding from the city.
Now, with Gina Hinojosa taking control of the state, local police will let any illegal immigrant they encounter who doesn't have a jail worthy offense go free without notifying ICE.

Zohran Mamdani just did what most Democrats and Republicans are too gutless to do.
He looked straight into the camera and said the quiet part out loud:
Republicans called Obama a socialist every single day for 8 years. It didn’t stop him.
Now they’re trying the same tired red-baiting on anyone who wants a New Deal instead of the raw deal working people have been force-fed for decades.
People are hungry for something real. Not more corporate welfare dressed up as “moderation.” Not more “public-private partnerships” that somehow always privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
Mamdani is right. The socialist smear is a dead tactic.
The only question left is whether the Democratic Party has the spine to actually deliver for the people who keep electing them… or if they’ll keep protecting the same donors who’ve been extracting wealth from this country for 40 years.
Keep going, Mayor.
The old guard is terrified for a reason, the midterms have certainly proven a new worth. – at District of Columbia, USA

With Dems all but certain to prevail in Mississippi and Alaska, we're most likely looking at a 56D-44R Senate and a ~260D-175R House, which would be Dems' largest House majority since 1992.

Chuck Schumer is a conciliator, not a fighter nor agent of change. The electorate just voted for change and a real fighter that stands up to Trump and his billionaire friends. Chuck Schumer, 75, has served well but should now retire and open the door to younger leadership.
