I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

The return on capital in America is far too high, it’s just extractive.

Data centers are driving up electricity prices, sucking up water, taking up farm land, and AI is being used for harmful deepfake videos. We need a nationwide halt to new data centers until we can determine if the industry can be safely regulated.
🗞 BIG NEWS 🗞 We’re officially launching our campaign to stop new data centers! With huge effects on our climate, water, energy bills and more, it’s time to put the brakes on the unregulated data center frenzy until we better understand the impacts: https://t.co/feMXJaH15U

Trump's policies are making billionaires and bankers richer, while our bank accounts suffer. But, it's ok. Trump's agriculture secretary says to "eat chicken, a PIECE of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing", so, that's good, right?
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

YES @SenSanders 🙌 Thank you for standing alongside us in this fight and amplifying the growing call to stop new data centers!
I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Trump’s violent immigration policies are racist and cruel. They'll also impact farmers, rural communities, and food prices.

Let’s be clear: this is a deliberate move to keep millions of us without healthcare, without access to healthy food, and leaving Trump free to cut whatever strikes his deranged fancy.
THE HOUSE GOP CONFERENCE CALL House Republicans are on a conference call this morning on day 4 of a government shutdown. House hasn't been in all week. They haven't voted since Sept. 19. @SpeakerJohnson says that he thinks Republicans are winning the message. Hopefully Senate

Trump just cancelled $8B of energy projects to pressure Democrats to let him jack up health care costs. And he didn't just cancel projects in Dem districts; he canceled them in R districts too. The difference is that Republicans are letting him use their constituents as pawns.

No. The government is shutdown because you and Trump took healthcare away from millions of Americans and demostrated you can't be trusted to back slide on a deal. Why make an agreement with you when you've proven you can be trusted to keep it?
Democrats shut down the government to extort more money from American families They don’t understand OMB Director @russvought has been dreaming of this moment since puberty

You literally got 1% when you ran in 2021.
If I ran, and it was ultimately against Harris, I would destroy her.
