In January, Jeffries declined to whip against DHS funding. Then DHS murdered Alex Pretti, and Dems had to play catchup to the politics. Now Jeffries won't commit to whip against Trump's war. This isn't rocket science - unify Dems against bad and unpopular things! www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

two purchases of LHX stock from Mullin. each between 15-50 thousand. One on may 13 2025 and another on February 13 2025
Conflicts of interest are already cropping up in Marywayne Mullin's bid to become the next DHS Secretary—he's invested tens of thousands of dollars in a company that agreed to a $62 million settlement last year to resolve claims that it knowingly misled the government about pricing in its contracts.

Power doesn’t need truth—only distance. If they can make dead children sound like ‘operations,’ they can make anything sound necessary. The euphemism is the weapon; your silence is the ammunition.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both

BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half.
A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.
The top 1% in America now hoard $55.8 trillion — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Our taxes
Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

A dozen is good but too few. If you are an elected Democrat in congress, there are 2 ways to engage with the SOTU with integrity:
1) Don't go.
2) Go and get kicked out, Al Green style.
Everything else is wimpy.
