AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Trump is literally purging the federal government of Black people and women. So the people who told us he wasn’t a racist or misogynist were full of shit.

The Democrats should use this as a chance to radicalize regular people in favor of, uh, the idea of a functional government. Every time that an important but unnoticed federal department fails because Trump fired everyone they should make a big deal out of it.

Btw, imagine if Biden had attacked a conservative Christian figure in that personal and vicious way. It'd be front page news and on a loop on Fox and his own party would criticize him for it. But it's Trump, so hey, all good. All normal. Move along, nothing to see here.
