Public funds for the common good like schools, health care for all and public transportation and infrastructure, not war! ✌🏽
While China has built its manufacturing with Belt and Road, our nation has wasted trillions on wars. We blundered in Iraq. We blundered by staying 20 years in Afghanistan. We blundered in Libya and Yemen. No to war in Venezuela.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

To be clear: @CaliforniaLabor has a position in support of wealth taxes & taxing billionaires. Any individual proposal or initiative will be taken up during our endorsement process next year. The Gov does not speak on behalf of organized labor.
👀👀 Asked about wealth tax, @GavinNewsom takes a shot at @seiu_uhw head Dave Regan: "We have one individual that represents one labor union in the state of California" fighting for it "The vast majority of labor opposes , and almost everyone I know opposes," Newsom adds

On Sunday, a @KamalaHarris adviser was in the newspaper expressing Democratic elites' hatred of @RoKhanna, scoffing at him as an unserious "rookie." Two days later, Khanna shamed the U.S. House into passing his bill to force the release of the Epstein Files.
