Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
"At the top of this bill, we will talk about kids… but when you actually open the hood, it’s being used as a smokescreen for everything that Big Tech lobbyists want.”
@ocasio-cortez.house.gov calls out Republicans’ partisan bill that lets Big Tech off the hook for kids’ online safety.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the Civil Rights Movement. His dedication to fighting for racial justice and dignity for working people shaped the moral arc of our nation.
As we mourn his life, we must carry his light forward and work to keep hope alive. May he rest in peace.
We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.
When you have a rules-based order where you carve out exceptions to our values, eventually the exceptions become the rules.
If we are going to stave off the scourges of authoritarianism globally, our politics need to center the working class.
When only the wealthy can afford peace of mind for their children, we've turned childhood into a privilege, not a promise.

When Jeff Bezos bought WaPo, he immediately took control of the opinions section. Now, he's laying off hundreds of journalists, including those covering Amazon.
This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of billionaires with vested political agendas taking over our media.
Intimidation is an age old tactic to qualm public dissent and outrage.
This Administration is going after public figures to encourage the American people to self-censor.
But we will not be silenced, and we will not accept this violation of our First Amendment Rights.
Black history is American history. The music, the movements, the sacrifice, the triumph - it has all shaped who we are.
