The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal.

Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000

Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier--

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started

BASH: So this is retribution then

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

One thing that definitely needs to change- Congress should go without pay during any shutdown.

And they should purchase their healthcare on the ACA exchange in the future.

Ezra Levin’s message here is perfect.

Despite all their best efforts at scaring us, it’s clear the goon squad regime are the ones who are scared.

Let’s make it the biggest demonstration in American history.

Tell them no f*cking kings.

We won't know about bird flu numbers. Or regular flu.

Not sure the oligarchs have thought this one through.

A population that cannot work and make money for them but is becoming increasingly desperate with nothing to lose?

I'd hate to be in the elite group with that kind of a groundswell coming at me.

Trump just got his COVID and flu vaccines.

Cue those vaccines being removed from the public (only available to the wealthy and connected) in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 . . .

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
