It's long past due Americans stop asking and start demanding. They work for us. Our congresscritters and senatewhores should not have better healthcare than us, nor should they have a better retirement. It's time to take it to the streets America.

Sanders: They have refused to negotiate. And anyone thinks that tomorrow they'll suddenly start negotiating. I think, is smoking what is illegal in many states

AOC: And should be legal in more.

I guess announcing covert ops ahead of time is the latest 4-D chess.

BERNIE: “I worry we are increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society, where a very small # of people control our economy + have huge influence over both political parties. if there was ever a time to stand up for working families and prevent authoritarianism, this is it.”

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

AOC: When one party wants the votes of another party. You negotiate, you come to a compromise and you pass a bill. That is schoolhouse rock. And that is how things should be

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Mockler: I have spent all my formative years watching the President talk about the opposition party like they should not exist. His claim to fame in politics was saying that Obama was not born in America.

Thanks to all of you, our campaign has raised over 40 Thousand Dollars! You've kept us in the streets, and you've kept us grassroots.

But, in order to take down Brian Mast, we will need to be a million dollar campaign (at least). Can you help us get there? Every dollar counts.

We've been to the range a couple of times this year and both times it was jam-packed with new gun owners who definitely didn't look like or talk like they were Trump supporters. People are arming themselves and also practicing, which is good to see.
