BREAKING: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not run for reelection in Congress.

The first woman ever to serve as Speaker of the House, Pelosi’s leadership and dedication to country will be deeply missed.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back.

That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

What are we doing?

It's always this way, and corporate media will have these guys on and let them say things with no pushbacks.

President Trump has the money to fund SNAP, and the courts ordered him to use it.

It's simple, he needs to follow the court order and get Americans the food assistance they need -- now.

Inside a tense, three-hour meeting at the Capitol on Tuesday, a fiery Senator Bernie Sanders urged Democrats not to yield to Republicans without a real victory on health care. He was armed with fresh polling that showed voters would punish the party for giving up with nothing in return.

Hours before the first major elections since President Donald Trump’s win last November, Sen. Bernie Sanders offered a stern warning for Democrats about the party’s secret talks to end the shutdown.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Things I don’t want to pay for with my taxes:

Political revenge.
State Guards and ICE intimidating, endangering, and killing people.
Performative lolsuits.
War crimes.
Noem’s costume budget.
Sending thugs to threaten universities.
Kash’s dates.
Bribes.
Golf.
Random 40B handouts to Argentina.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

To be abundantly clear, ICE is violating everyone’s constitutional rights, citizens and non citizens alike.

The coup leaders commanding this ongoing illegitimate brutality want us to forget that core fact.

It’s intentional confusion arising out of the chaos they create.

Stay focused.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
