Rep. Sara Jacobs is one of the top 15 wealthiest members of Congress. She is set to introduce legislation today that would—if enacted—work against her own self-interest by increasing her own taxes.
“I think of it as taxing trust-fund kids, to create a trust fund for all American kids.”

Absolutely unacceptable. A crime against the people terrorized, the public, and our planet. Heinous waste & destruction on top of human rights violations. The hunting of vulnerable members of our communities and the permeation of fear violate the most basic norms of a democratic society.
Workers are "terrified" as immigration agents sweep farms, the president of United Farm Workers says, adding that Americans should think about the "human loss" as well as "crops rotting" in the fields.

Thank goodness for migrant farm workers.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

Sanders: Our life expectancy is about four years less than in other wealthy countries.
If you’re working class in America, you live 7-8 years shorter than people who are wealthy. Now, why is that?
