So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

But we're supposed to be suspicious of Biden's use of the Autopen?

"If they let more people vote, repugs would permanently lose!" is certainly 'unique' take on democracy😡

Heaven forbid we give American DC & Puerto Rico citizens, who pay taxes & fight in US wars, vote in government that governs them. How blatantly partisan!

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Gavin Newsom: These guys are not screwing around. They're surgical. They want to roll back all of the progress in the last half century. But you're seeing people wake up everywhere. 7 million of you showed up. No crowns, no thrones, no kings.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Chief Justice Roberts and Mitch McConnell have hollowed out and destroyed most democratic norms. Prioritizing corrupt power over principle, while leaving everyday Americans with fewer protections endangers everyone. American institutions should serve the public, not the powerful, rich and corrupt.

A friendly reminder that 39% of SNAP recipients are seniors, 20% are children, and 12% are people with disabilities. 20,000 active duty soldiers, 200,000 National Guardsmen, and 1.1 million veterans are also on SNAP. Please stop saying it's just "people who need to get a job."

He lacks even the most basic knowledge of history.🤦‍♀️ It was World War I which was ended by the armistice on November 11, 1918. The Spanish Flu did spread through armies and weakened them on both sides contributing to the end.

A blind guy could see that this is the way. I don’t care what it’s called or the color & gender of the Candidate. Enthusiast outreach with an Affordability message is what the people want to hear because that is the main concern. You must go among them. Real & personal.

We The People are sovereign.

WE hire government officials as OUR SERVANTS, not our masters.

This regime has failed spectacularly. Intentionally.

WE will remove them using our most effective power—disobedience. We will begin withdrawing cooperation, labor and money. Then? Bring them to JUSTICE!
