Pinned
15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

McGovern: "To say Democrats are the ones who want to enrich insurance companies is absurd. Republicans support big banks, big tech, billionaires, tax breaks for huge greedy corporations. And they accuse Dems of being in the pocket of the insurance industry? Give me a break. Nobody believes this BS."
