Yes, JD. Letโ€™s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Letโ€™s ask everyone running for office.

For the "Democrats in Congress Suck" crowd:

20M registered Democrats did not vote in '24.

90M people of voting age didn't even bother to register to vote.

Just 64.5% voter turnout which is in the bottom third of all democracies.

Too many people took too much for granted for too long.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a โ€œfantastic year.โ€

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

We have โ€œco-equalโ€ branches of government but citizens donโ€™t have nearly any power outside of regular elections. This, public referendum votes for constitutional changes, and citizen assemblies would be huge.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trumpโ€™s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

โ€œThe billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.โ€

The worldโ€™s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

I yearn to seeing governments protect facets of life that are inherently human, work, art, an analog life, like we protect heritage communities. The internet, technology, AI is a harm to humanity and if it continues to go unchecked weโ€™re going to inflict irreparable damage on our species.

Heโ€™s beyond unfit and itโ€™s disgusting the level of disrespect he has for the position he holds. Referring to a past President as a โ€œmoronโ€, downright shameful

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcareโ€”it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

100% agree. America created a middle class off 90% wealth tax and we thrived. Gutting it and allowing money into politics has been a cancer and thereโ€™s almost nothing left to squeeze. Itโ€™s dangerous to others at that level - meddling in governments, buying up swaths of industry and land etc

Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists.

A cost-benefit analysis found that for every โ‚ฌ1 invested, society receives โ‚ฌ1.39 back.

Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.
