The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision has allowed billionaires and big corporations to have an outsized influence on our elections. Our democracy is paying the price.
We must keep fighting to get big money out of politics, and restore power to the American people.
Donald Trump is demanding billions in personal payoffs from the federal government.
It's taking abuse of taxpayer dollars to a whole new level.
My Corruption Clawback Act would ensure that the government can get that money back when he leaves office.
President Trump says “when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.”
How about you?
Are you making a lot of money?
The cost of building a new hospital is about $100 million.
We're dropping the equivalent of 10 hospitals a day on Iran.
Trump decided this war was a better use of taxpayer money than giving Americans health care. It’s not.
$11 billion on Trump's illegal war in Iran. And counting. That no American wants to spend.
Where are the billions for housing, hospitals, or health care that the American people actually want?
Add in the economic damage, and you're looking at well over $1 trillion a year in global economic damage if the US - Israel war on Iran becomes a long war. For context, the entire Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined cost the US an estimated $6 trillion over 20 years. This could easily blow past it.
The US-Israel war is costing US tax payers an average of 2 billion per day; if you extend that to 365 days, and that's nearly $730 billion a year, roughly the entire US defense budget on a single war. And that's just the direct US military spending.
The Decline and Fall of the American Empire
The ayatollah’s son showed up at Mar-a-Lago. He died and was walking around with no arms and no legs. He said, “Mr. President, sir, it would be our honor to surrender to a big, strong leader,” with tears in his eyes.
If there was a mandatory draft for billionaires and their families any time we went to war, there would be no wars.
oh my goodness -- watch Mike Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and McClain clap like seals for Trump for nearly two minutes straight. None of them want to be the first to stop!
Experts in international and U.S. domestic law told an inter-American human rights organization on Friday that the Pentagon’s campaign of blowing up boats it suspected of smuggling drugs in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean was illegal.
Last night on Kremlin TV... "We are leading them by the nose." A discussion of Trump's war on Iran, and how Putin is able to manipulate Trump to secure everything he wants... starting with an end to sanctions against the Russian oil and gas industry. youtu.be/BsNnhqJHP7s?...
I keep thinking that if Donald Trump had gone to prison for January 6, as he should have, all those Iranian schoolgirls would be having dinner with their families this evening.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Idiot Donald Trump to allies *before* he realized that Iran might block the Strait of Hormuz, which would drive up gas prices and drive down his polls:
“We don’t need your stupid help, losers!”
Idiot Donald Trump to allies *after* Iran does exactly that a week later:
“HELP! HELP! HELP!!!”
THIS!!!!!
