ASHLEY MOODY IS CORRUPT AF. And Angie Nixon went straight for the jugular: “Her reward for that was her U.S. Senate appointment. She knew exactly what she was doing. She signed off on it.” “Ashley Moody is a liar, she’s a thief.”🔥

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

This. Everyone followed directions. We were calm, organized, stayed in the street, kept moving. Additionally, when the gas hit, people didn't panic. Didn't run. Didn't riot. Didn't lose their cool at all. Calmly exited the area and helpers were EVERYWHERE lending support to gassed families.

There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.

Not enough people are talking about Trump’s plan to privatize Social Security. He’s slashed staff, cut services, and stranded rural seniors by closing support centers. His own Treasury Secretary says the Republican budget created a “backdoor for privatizing Social Security.” This is serious.

This was announced as 150 million people across the country were under heat alerts. Fossil fuel interests spent nearly $100 million on Trump's re-election. Then the industry pumped $19 million into his inaugural fund. They're cashing in at the expense of the rest of us.

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard. This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

I want to be really clear on this: there's absolutely no value to America whatsoever in Linda McMahon being in public life. She's a minimally educated, poorly informed rich woman who should be sipping Chardonnay in a bunker in New Zealand. No one should take her seriously or do anything she demands.
