People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.

That’s why I’m running on:

- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

Democrats need to put the same extended media consuming outrage into the Young Republican Nazi chats as Republicans mustered for Biden going for ice cream.

Why do all of the "Young Republicans" look 50?

Jeff Yang @originalsp.in · 19h

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

The only good thing about young Republicans is they got caught. Justice has been swift: several of them have lost their jobs or have had job offers rescinded.

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 20h

These young Republicans are exactly what you would think young Republicans are like if you believed the absolute worst stereotype of young Republicans and Trump supporters.

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 21h

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

If CPD grants was 1st, 2nd at HUD to receive the boot was the Office of Environment and Energy. I know you’re all super surprised based on the name right? But this office was doing some pretty incredible work guiding HUD policy around floodplain management, energy codes & building technology.

I fear for the worse with this SCOTUS. What a force for evil those 5 guys have become.

Bernard Taylor @btaylorforcongress.bsky.social · 1d

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear a case that could reshape Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, one of our strongest protections against racial discrimination at the ballot box.

We should be strengthening voting rights, not rolling them back. Every voice matters. #SCOTUS

What about the 600 unaccompanied children your friend Kristi was going to fly to Guatamala?? If that judge hadn't stopped her, they'd be missing now.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13h

Pam Bondi repeatedly claims that finding one missing child "makes it all worthwhile" when it comes to military occupations of American cities and adds that "Pritzker should be begging Donald Trump to come in."

I assume ACLU has been notified.

It seems they are targeting women, which tells you all you need to know about their "manhood".

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

Thank you so much for a great presentation. My understanding is the DHS labels *any* undocumented person as being a criminal for being in the U.S. illegally.

It's an outrageous criminalization of a civil violation.

Keep exposing them and everybody protest on Saturday!
