AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

We should look at ALL the investments our Congress members have in their (and their spouses') portfolios every single day. For example, how did the Obama's end up with 4 homes on the President's salary? How did the Biden's - a community college instructor and former US VP, end up with 3 homes?

Mostly because they are paid a fortune for speeches and the books they write. The Obamas and Biden’s didn’t do it with stock investments. And real estate is a poor measure of wealth as it is usually mortgaged up.

A lifelong politician makes enough to be a millionaire if they were wise with their money.

However, I think it’s safe to say that most politicians are using their positions to benefit their pockets in unscrupulous ways.

We need to restore honor and dignity in government.

AOC bent the knee and voted to certify the election instead of raising the point of the 14th Amendment. She's a MAGAt like all the rest.

What?? That was already struck down by the Supreme Court when Colorado and another state tried to do that so it would’ve been a futile effort.

rkdowner.bsky.social•35 days ago

Read what the Supreme Court wrote. They said Colorado did not have the authority to keep Donald Trump off the ballot. They said only Congress had the authority to rule on the matter. On 1/6/25 he needed 2/3 of both houses to approve him holding public office, and they gave him 100% of both houses.

Who do you support? Not sure there is anyone for whom you could show support.

rkdowner.bsky.social•35 days ago

Right now, nobody in Congress. I won't vote Republican but I won't vote for my incumbents, either.

mkinva.bsky.social•35 days ago

I get it. But don’t hold back pushing the incumbents for better while that is all we have.

woodenstares.bsky.social•35 days ago

Agreed. I will not let them rest.

woodenstares.bsky.social•35 days ago

They need to be primaried. The people demand an explanation and accountability. I do not feel like any of them fought when we needed them the most. They went silent.

woodenstares.bsky.social•35 days ago

There is no way to know what they feared. I suspect they all had their own reasons. But it was something big enough to keep them from even campaigning for Harris the way they should have.

Someone brave enough to fight fascism.

woodenstares.bsky.social•35 days ago

There is Gretchen Whitmer, Pete Buttigieg and so many more. Lots of very talented people on the left to choose from actually. There must get be someone I’ve never heard of. A healthy primary is needed. I really hope they let the people decide this time.

There is Mark Pocan from Wisconsin. He is on Thom Hartmann’s show on Progress channel on Sirius Radio every week. Great guy, great show. I try to listen to Thom each day at lunch. You will learn more from him than anyone.

My position is that I do not support any current Congress person for a presidential run because they all broke their oaths to the constitution out of fear.
The next president needs to fight for the constitution without fear.

woodenstares.bsky.social•35 days ago

I support anyone fighting in Congress.

I will call out everyone that isn’t doing their jobs.

rkdowner.bsky.social•35 days ago

On January 6th they all failed to do their job. That's enough for me, that was it, the straw that broke the camel's back, the red line. They are all dead to me. No more contributions, no more phone calls, nothing.

woodenstares.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’m not giving to the DNC anymore. I am going to support individual campaigns only. No blind faith. They need to earn our trust and renounce oligarchs.

mastersubby.com•34 days ago

I feel she needs to help start a new party. She's being held back severely. She's literally the best thing going. Only she can do so much when the rest of the party isn't United.

woodenstares.bsky.social•34 days ago

This is my hope as well. The democrats will use her for fundraising and votes but they will never allow her to rise.

mkinva.bsky.social•35 days ago

This! Congresspersons should not be allowed to buy and sell stocks. Period.

AOC for Prez 2028

https://bsky.app/profile/chrismurphyct.bsky.social/post/3lg7byvblzs2k. So is Senator Chris Murphy. Follow him. Amplify his voice. Reward the Democrats who are doing the right thing with recognition.

woodenstares.bsky.social•35 days ago

I love him too. I’ve been waiting for him to use tougher language in his posts.

Start by getting rid of Fetterman.
