Each one of these reps. would vote to dismantle Medicare or Social Security if given the chance.

Here are the Democrats who agree with this. They ALL deserve to be primaried. And by agreeing, they basically told us they want to take away socialist programs like medicare, social security, and more.

@warren.senate.gov refuses Big Pharma money → Fights for drug price reform

@repauchincloss.bsky.social takes $815K from pharma → Opposes price negotiation

Same state. Different values.

MA-4 deserves a representative who serves patients, not profits.

People realize intuitively that the current trajectory of AI is to automate them out of their jobs, create new forms of inequality, and form new tools of mass surveillance and oppression.

Abundance funder Reid Hoffman reportedly went to Epstein Island.

Abundance bookseller Ezra Klein then published a column assuring liberals that Jeffrey Epstein kept his powerful friends separate from Epstein's rape network.

AI that works for us means that workers share in productivity gains. That requires Universal Basic Income funded by corporate automation taxes, worker councils with real power over deployment decisions, and strong collective bargaining rights.

H.Res.876 appropriately recognizes the genocide of the Palestinian people and calls for ceasing arms transfers to Israel in accordance with U.S. and international law. Proud that @pressley.house.gov and @repmcgovern.bsky.social from Massachusetts are co-sponsoring this resolution.
NEW — Rashida Tlaib and 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to officially recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.

It notes that between 10/23 and 11/25, the US sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel and authorized $30,000,000,000+ in new weapons deals.

The "Abundance" version of economic populism means you have to pay thousands more in health insurance premiums and higher prescription drug prices.

Wall Street learned nothing. Securitization and off-balance-sheet vehicles are the same tools that led to the subprime mortgage crisis in '08. When the AI music stops, workers will pay the price.

The US gave nearly $22.7 billion in military aid to Israel in the last two years. It's time to focus on the needs of the American people.

The DLC reconstituted as the "Majority Democrats" and their Majority Fund PAC is a clever way of laundering corporate money to centrist politicians who claim the mantle of "productive populism". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorit...

Populism means saying you want to lower prescription drug prices, but when given the opportunity to pass a bill that would allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, you use pharmaceutical industry talking points to undermine it. @waleedshahid.bsky.social @dkthomp.bsky.social

It is not surprising that Democrats who take money from the same billionaires as Trump would acquiesce to, and in some cases explicitly support, his inhumane mass deportation agenda.
These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE.

This bill (now signed into law by Trump) eliminated IRS reporting requirements for decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling crypto-facilitated money laundering and tax evasion.

The IRS can track your Venmo transactions but DeFI platforms are allowed to traffic billions in unreported crypto trades.
76 House Dems joined Republicans in voting to repeal a Biden rule requiring cryptocurrency brokers to adhere to the same tax reporting rules as stock brokers.

A yes vote is a pro-fraud, pro-tax-evasion vote here.

In Massachusetts, Eversource and National grid have already received requests from proposed data centers for an additional 2GW of energy, which is equiv. to the annual electricity usage of 2.4m HHs (85% of all HHs in the state). www.joinact.org/news/an-econ...
