I'm not running to bow to a corporation. I'm not running to raise your utility rates or help them do it. I'm not running so that your premium goes up and everybody looks the other way. I'm running to fight for you.

Jamie Raskin calls out the shitty ads as a crime (this was cited by CNN and other stories). This is the kind of Xitter post that I beg of @raskin.house.gov or other MoCs to cross-post over here -- not least bc more people over here are likely to magnify it.

Rep. Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

It looks and sounds like a political spot and includes a disclaimer stating that it is paid for by the U.S. government.

Just so. According to the IRS and the US Treasury's own numbers, undocumented workers had about 100 BILLION to the US tax base every year... and are not eligible for ANY federal assistance or programs. Contrast that with major corporations who get tax write-offs and subsidies...

Public anger over data centers reflects a far broader - and well grounded - public anger over massive technological/economic change that threatens to leave many people behind, and the nation even more unequal - presenting a great challenge for the nation, but a political opportunity for Ds.
