I'm Latina. To ICE, I look the same as the man they shot in Austin. I mapped the UN's definition of ethnic cleansing against what ICE is doing. It fits. whispercampaign.substack.com/p/stop…

We spend hundreds of millions of dollars fighting other Democrats instead of Republicans. Make it make sense. P.S. the DNC is $2.3 million in debt.

The DNC pledged its own headquarters as collateral for a $15M loan — the biggest off-year borrowing in the committee’s history. THe DNC is over $2M in debt and big dollar donors aren’t giving. The latest from me open.substack.com/pub/whisperc...

DNC Mortgages Building to Pay for Races
Ken Martin can't raise the money, insiders say he won't survive the job, and Democrats go into November with a mortgaged headquarters against a Republican Party sitting on $128 million.

Apparently you are not allowed to asks questions about Graham Platner. The line is always “you’re helping Collins.” High stakes are the reason to ask MORE questions, not less. He and his campaign made many ill-advised decisions…. open.substack.com/pub/mattdiem...

BIG announcement! The Whisper Campaign and The Angry Democrat are merging to build one independent Democratic media platform. We know the problems in our party are not just messaging problems. That is why we are building something independent, honest, and unafraid to say what needs to be said. ⬇️

We came in third. In an 8-candidate field. Against a Democratic Party insider with 29 endorsements, a million dollars between the top two, and $424,000 in outside AI money. I only had $12,000. No staff. No support. Big announcement tomorrow. I’m not going anywhere. We have a democracy to save.

Here is the story voters in OH-7 deserve to know. Brian Poindexter says corporate PAC money is “a stain on our politics.” But two outside PACs tied to corporate interests are now spending to help him win this Democratic primary. 1/22

“Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the suspect is a naturalized citizen from the United Kingdom with a prior criminal record.” Isn’t that was ICE was supposed to be for? Why is he still on the street while infants and children are being detained in your for-profit detention centers?

Last week, the U.S. Treasury Department declared the U.S. insolvent with a deficit of nearly $48 trillion dollars. If the debt was an American household, “that household earns $52,446 and spends $73,378 — running a $20,932 annual deficit. Its total liabilities = $1,361,788 yhoo.it/4rWSENQ

The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it
The Government Accountability Office can't even verify the books. Here's what Congress must do.

Robert Mueller was a Marine, a public servant, and an American who served this country for decades. You do not have to agree with someone on every issue to understand that when a person dies, especially someone who served the United States, the response should be sympathy, dignity, and respect.

No family should go bankrupt because someone got sick. A medical emergency should not become a financial catastrophe. Families should not have to choose between treatment and rent. Healthcare is not a luxury. It is basic stability. #healthcare #m4A #medicare #ACA #LauraforUs #OH7 #OhioPolitics

Food costs keep rising while paychecks stay flat. Washington keeps telling people to work harder. That is not the problem. The problem is an economy built to protect profits before people. Share this if your grocery bill is hitting harder than ever. #affordability #OH7 #LauraforUs

If you work full time, you should be able to afford a place to live. That should not be controversial. Across Ohio’s 7th, families are being crushed by housing costs that rise faster than paychecks. People are not failing. Policy is. I believe housing is part of basic economic dignity. #OH7

So far, the story is: Not a regime change war but the regime is gone. Not about liberation but the people are supposedly “free.” Not an imminent threat but maybe it was. Nuclear program “obliterated” but also the reason we had no choice /1

As many as 550,000 people file for bankruptcy every year due to medical bills in the U.S. 26,000 Americans die each year because of lack of health insurance. If we can use taxpayer dollars to send a hospital boat to #Greenland, there is absolutely NO reason we can’t have Medicare for All here. #M4A

Wexner laughed when his lawyer joked about killing him for answering too many questions in his deposition. Must be nice. Epstein’s survivors aren’t laughing. Justice isn’t supposed to have a price tag. I will fight to make sure it doesn’t. I’m not laughing. #EpsteinFiles #OH7

What does freedom mean if families can’t afford housing, healthcare, or security? In 1944, Franklin Roosevelt proposed a Second Bill of Rights—economic rights to make freedom real in everyday life. I made a short video about why it still matters today. youtu.be/cNILP4qyj8Q?... #EconomicJustice

Today, we lost Rev.Jesse Jackson. He stood by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement. He ran for Presient twice because he knew the only way to change the country was to challenge it and force it to either expand its vision or be defined by its limits. 🌈 #JesseJackson #OH07
