#OH07 Tax cuts for the wealthy? When you’re working so hard? And when belt-tightening is needed? You're told to sacrifice. Brian Poindexter is a union ironworker running for Congress because workers built this country, & deserve leaders who've actually lived that reality. #ResistanceUnited #Pinks

Dwayne Romero (CO-03) earns a spot on the DCCC Red to Blue list. That makes only one district in the entire state of Colorado, the reddest in the state, the only currently held GOP seat not on Red to Blue, and Eileen Laubacher is running laps around Lauren Boebert fundraising. Gonna be interesting!

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Americans pay billions to for-profit prison companies to incarcerate people. Their financial incentives reward keeping beds filled; some contracts pay even when beds are empty. Profits go to company owners and investors, not the public that funds them. That’s a profound conflict of interest.
