This political evolution needs to be studied by science, distilled, and then put into the drinking water in DC.
I am not funded by AIPAC or any other foreign lobbyists groups. I am also not funded by the military industrial complex, big pharma, health insurance industry, or any industry. I am 1,000,000% only working for my district and the American people. Get off the internet, hug

What stage of capitalism is this? “The airline industry is contesting a new FAA rule that would force airlines to address serious flaws in potentially thousands of Boeing 737 planes — and they have powerful industry-connected allies in the Trump administration.”

The nation’s biggest private prison company — accused of human trafficking — is asking the Supreme Court to make it immune from lawsuits. Their argument? Corporations should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.
The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims. If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

Israel and Hamas have agreed to a “phase one” ceasefire — brokered by Trump’s son-in-law @jaredkushner and real estate mogul @SteveWitkoff. These aren’t peace brokers. They’re investors with a stake in the outcome.

Fighting corruption is not a distraction from defending democracy; it's an impotant part of it. https://t.co/K1AbJC2xc1

It’s a powerful, unifying theme—and it’s tied to the crisis of democracy under Trump.

"If they’re successful, it will give them more power under the law to spend as much money as they want, making the political discourse and public policy whatever it is they want." @davidsirota explains JD Vance's new under-the-radar Supreme Court Case

Kamala Harris's husband is making millions of dollars at a law firm that is doing free work for Trump. It is just stunningly corrupt and embarrassing that Democrats don't seem to even notice it.

Should Members of Congress be banned from becoming lobbyists? I’ve introduced legislation with @AOC to do exactly that. Let’s get it done!

A few years ago I had the chance to meet Paul Thomas Anderson during Oscar events (this is one of my favorite photos from all that). His new movie is truly fantastic, and I’m so glad I saw it in the theater. It’s a masterpiece worthy of all the accolades it is getting.

Texas Senate Dem candidate James Talarico is running as a deeply religious Christian candidate, but took money to work on legalizing gambling. That's not ok!

A group funded by Adelson was the biggest donor to James Talarico’s campaign last year.

Spent YEARS shitposting @davidsirota on here. We had (and have) many disagreements. But after a coffee summit in Denver & some Nuggets talk we somehow landed in a place where he is publishing this *correct* piece on "The McCain Lane" in @BulwarkOnline

I'll believe that @ossoff is serious about corruption, or frankly anything, if he actually tried to oppose crypto legislation on grounds of corruption. That's the single most brazen pay-to-play operation any of us have ever seen.

Polls show most Americans loathe the Citizens United decision. Also, the idea that corporations are human beings that have inalienable First Amendment free speech rights is a fantastical legal fiction cooked up by oligarchs.
We’re now Conserving Conservatism by advocating to amend the Constitution to reduce free speech
