#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #ONEV1 #DV1 Thank you, Sen. Warren, for your fierce commitment to the working families. These are never radical ideas. They are COMMON SENSE. Only one party is willing to fight on the right hills. Please Vote Blue: Federal, State, Local.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren: 10 Hills I’ll die on:

- Big corporations shouldn’t be able to buy elections
- A good education shouldn’t just be for rich kids
- Getting sick shouldn’t mean going broke
- We should invest in child care like we do our roads and libraries
- Billionaires should pay their fair share so everyone else gets a fair shot
- Homes are for people, not corporations
- Abortion is health care 
- Americans should not have to subsidize the cost of data centers
- No one should be able to use public office to make themselves richer
- We need to put put power back in the hands of working people

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

The cruelty of this regime is astounding! Trump stopped pediatric brain tumor consortium from reapplying for federal funds. Why on earth do this and make kids suffer? To put more money in his greedy little pockets? #GOPWarOnHealthcare.

There’s the false accusation from a former state AG who should know better accusing someone of committing a crime based on zero evidence. Then there’s the behavior before, during and after. All of it really shows America what we already knew - Schmitt is scum.

Most experts agree: diesel export ban MAY initially lower prices in SOME areas of the US, the south and midwest. But long term would backfire both in our national security (including alliances) and in price. Global Diesel prices would eventually skyrocket as a result and those prices would hit us

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.
