I’m a grandmother with 3 grandchildren and just want to leave them an earth that is still safe to live on! Never throw food in your garbage. We produce more methane doing that than all the planes and jets combined !

Yep, really dangerous internal politics, or theft.

Trump giving Corey Lewandowski access to and control over 175 billion dollars = GRAND THEFT!

How many contractors set up after that POS was appointed and how much has he awarded to them?

MASS Deportation = MASS THEFT of our government funding!

I think the bigger problem is very low taxes. Which means that a lot of common good is never realized.

With higher taxes, it is possible to finance healthcar for all, infrastructure, free education, eldercare.

And stop the extreme amount of money to political donations.

She is 100% correct. Democracies cannot survive with increasing wealth inequalities.

Election rigging KGB Putin steals money and made his countrymen slaves.
Like I said in 2015, DT is fascinated with Putin and wants to rule just like him.

The first step to solving a problem is being able to identify it. Today’s issues are due to very deliberate choices (by our govs) & pressure (by our oligarchs) to shift power, wealth & equity away from the majority of us. Americans NEED to understand Neoliberalism and why the “news” won’t mention it

Trouble is, Neoliberal capitalism has been twisted to serve the Few. To fix this requires a systemic shift in our very definition of Economy. We’re very capable of such a shift, but today we are witnessing the lengths the Few will go to to prevent the Many from taking away any of their power.

AOC is perhaps the most intelligent and progressive congressperson in the USA. She has such a clear grasp of why democracy has fallen. The worst piece of legislation ever enacted by SCOTUS was Citizen's United. Unless and until such legislation is revoked, democracy is finished.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Casey Wasserman is putting his talent and marketing agency up for sale, he said in a memo to staff Friday night.

The move follows the release of suggestive emails he exchanged years ago with Ghislaine Maxwell and the departure of high-profile talent from his firm.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Today’s performance by Pam Bondi was not only unacceptable, it was clearly a smoke screen for a coverup, and her anger is at herself because her shattered moral compass still has a pulse.
