She is always spot on.

How can we clone AOC and Jasmine Crockett? A couple dozen of these ladies in Congress would be very helpful.

brewtowne.bsky.social•4 hours ago

There are many more, but the Dem House reelection committee doesn't like to make room for progressive candidates. They have to force their way in.

Every state has dozens of similar leader-types... I've seen them.✌🏻

Truth.

genxguy.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I agree. However, the messaging against the Republican mantra of “waste, fraud and abuse,” needs to be hanmered home…”why did Trumps first action was to fire Inspectors Generals whose sole purpose was to look for that on a daily basis?”

AOC rocks! 🥰

I wish the dnc would get rid of Hakeem and replace him with her! This generation needs her energy and fight right now! She should be giving daily briefings on the trash Trump is doing daily! Bring attention to it! @aoc.bsky.social

Basically they are saying not wealthy people are a waste in America! In their mind everyone who makes less than $500,000 per year is a moocher or a waste.

and who benefits? Is not just about cutting taxes. In addition, if Medicare covers less than people will need bigger supplemental policies and just straight up pay more for coverage. Investors in Health insurers will profit along the Health insurance corporations.

EXACTLY
Maga, including MuskSkum and Shitler, are sociopaths.

God I hope she runs for president... I'd vote for her without hesitation.

We are at war. Our imposter gov. against the American People. We are under attack, under seige. States are on their own now, there is no UNITED States of America until we oust these traitors!

AOC FOR PRESIDENT!

Why is she not calling out the problem by name?

This is capitalism. This is what happens when you have a system with a foundation of greed and exploitation.

According to those thinking of taking everything because we die (necrosecurity), yeah, people are disposable.

earthdaddy.bsky.social•6 hours ago

She is so right. The way she and Jasmine speak about the issues is perfect, all we get Hakeem is platitudes

coletty.bsky.social•8 hours ago

And all republicans voted for it! Every one of them.

They will vote against their jobs. Think twice, because #Accountability comeuppance day will come to those who betray their oath of office to "we the people." #JusticeStillMatters

I actually wish she had gone harder. Voting for this bill is voting to kill vulnerable Americans. Just like killing USAID condemned hundreds of thousands to die of malaria. These are human victims, not abstractions.

drawerknob.bsky.social•5 hours ago

privilege insulates most policymakers from encountering reality, and many have only ever known the violence of poverty through academic abstractions. this carries forward into their policy, and is fundamentally experienced as “tough decisions” that “great men” have to make

chrismcclinch.bsky.social•5 hours ago

That's exactly why she needs to go harder. "You're voting to kill people" removes abstraction.

melissa4thrivingmt.bsky.social•8 hours ago

And yet…our policies (corporate and governmental) demonstrate that very principle - people are disposable.

When a politician speaks on one side of the aisle, do politicians on the other side just hear a Charlie Brown adult?

xpressmgnt.bsky.social•8 hours ago

The only waste fraud, and abuse can be found in the DODGY.
They do realize that is what the Inspector Generals of those departments were for...
RIGHT?
Unfortunately, when Mike Johnson says waste fraud and abuse, he's talking about anyone receiving the benefits of these programs...
👇

xpressmgnt.bsky.social•8 hours ago

When in fact he should be talking about the business receiving the actual payments.
Hell, he could walk down the hall and ask Rick Scott for examples.
Want to find waste fraud and abuse, look to tje White House, they've already spent 20 billion for farmers because of useless tariffs...
👇

xpressmgnt.bsky.social•8 hours ago

And now they want to send 12 billion more because of bad trade and tariff policies?
That daunds a lot like waste and fraud in buying votes.
But hey, it's only my money...
Right?

everflossingmind.bsky.social•9 hours ago

If they want to learn about actual fraud, they should study the case involving MAGA Senator Rick Scott.

beautifully said.

mikekholt.bsky.social•8 hours ago

The only part of this that would be positive is it would get people in the streets and show power in numbers. Surround the WhiteHouse, Congress in peaceful protest. Give a big fuck you to Trump, Musk and all the other pigs at the trough
