News: AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21. AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Well,well,well, look who's big-time mad , calling the Tarriffs "bullshit" and doesn't understand the formula! You, sir , created this monster .. Enjoy Ken😡

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥
