Si Warren es la líder de la mayoría demócrata se viene el mayor cambio de doctrina de libre competencia en la historia
Va a dividir todo lo que tenga más del 60% del mercado
Y que así sea

I don’t think people fully appreciate how much of the D.C. influence industry just straight up ceases to exist if you pass an airtight ban on corporate spending

I just heard someone use the term "competence kink" when referring to why women are swooning over Jon Ossoff and Abdul El-Sayed. I hsve to say that's totally it. We're so damn sick of little boys who think dominating a woman makes you a man. It doesn't. It just makes you an asshołe.

Is Chuck Schumer exciting? No. Does he take risks? Of course not. But do his experience and acumen make him EXACTLY the man democrats need to most effectively wield this unprecedented mandate? Jesus christ, no

Yes! FDR’s second bill of rights died with him. It’s time to resurrect it. More fundamentally, recognize that economic rights are as important as civil and political rights.

Bernie is on the cusp of seeing a political project that he has built up for over 40 years fulfilled. He’ll be damned if he doesn’t see it through.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Abdul El-Sayed won on Medicare for All. Troy Jackson won on Medicare for All. James Talarico supported a public option he labeled "Medicare for Y'all." Everyone in the party should back healthcare for all. It wins everywhere and more importantly it is the right thing to do.

Cry more. You got women killed by confirming Kavanaugh, you evil bitch.
Senator Susan Collins to The New York Times after losing re-election:
“Everybody ignores the fact that I voted to convict him in the second impeachment trial,” Ms. Collins said.
“What bigger break could there be? It is never enough. I want results and they want angry rhetoric.”

O discurso de James Talarico, político ligado ao Partido Democrata e recém-eleito Senador pelo Estado do Texas, que está repercutindo no mundo todo:
"Pessoas trans são 1% da população. Os muçulmanos são 1% da população. Os imigrantes ilegais são 1% da população. Nós estamos focados no 1% errado.
Pessoas trans não estão afetando o nosso sistema de saúde. Os muçulmanos não estão retirando o financiamento das nossas escolas. Imigrantes não estão cortando impostos para si mesmos e seus amigos ricos.
São os bilionários e seus políticos fantoches. As guerras culturais são uma cortina de fumaça. Tantas das divisões neste Estado e neste País são fabricadas por bilionários que nos querem lutando entre si ao invés de lutando contra eles."

You don't reach across the aisle to greet people who sold Alligator Alcatraz merchandise, you reach across the aisle to hand them a subpoena.

Bernie Sanders:
We must enact a 5% wealth tax on billionaires so that we can provide every working-class family in the country, a family of four, with a $12,000 direct payment.
In other words, if you're a working-class family of four, that's $3,000 for every man, woman, and child. Twelve thousand bucks.
Furthermore, with that tax on billionaires, we can build 7 million units of low-income and affordable housing, we can make public colleges and universities tuition-free, and we can provide universal free child care for 13 million children.
That is what a wealth tax on billionaires can do.
