Just introduced a bipartisan bill with Rep. Chuck Edwards: the Economic Opportunity for Distressed Communities Act.
It would turn all Superfund + Brownfield sites into Opportunity Zones—clean up pollution, attract investment, and give folks a tax break. Win-win.

1 - DOJ 2006 memo opinion that convicted felons in DC elected office is unconstitutional
2 - Mandatory OIG background check for all elected officials
We need to do it now.
He's disgusting
I get it, she's building power, but Edwards is not the way
POWER TO THE PEOPLE
Have seen it many times and never seen it go well for the locals.
Stop the guy with the matches first.
How does this do that?
Can we give indigenous back their land yet?

tax breaks for billionaire developers

these assholes ain’t shit without money
make THEM get out in the streets with a bullhorn and advocate for treason

I really don't trust the private sector to behave itself on its own.
I suppose if you don’t have haters, you’re not doing it right ✌️
If so, that is hilarious and also 100% fuck that guy. He is out of the guild permanently, blocked recursively and he can get cooked

We need to expand for USPS to facilitate Legal IDs and Basic Banking too
Also for ID verification for any government programs for businesses as well as citizens. With protocols for emergency ID situation as well.
Also, point out Tulsi Gabbard displayed selective amnesia today at the Senate hearing. Her answers were mostly: I didn't recall.

working-class poverty, immigrant struggle, lack of social support or welfare, harsh living and dangerous working conditions, generating hopelessness or cynicism and cruelty among the powerless. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power.
Tax breaks do not make businesses successful.
know that money is not going to help anyone who doesn't already have a lot of money. It's wealthy welfare. They'll pay min wage to people doing the work. (that's $7/hr in NC)
But maybe you're rich, so you love this opportunity for yourself.
That's selfish
This scheme is not that. She's talking about giving wealthy landlords tax breaks in these opportunity zones.
Gov funded clean up of industrial damage, tax breaks to develop the cheapest land available, and no actual oversight of the real long term health issues…
This is a win?
Uh, lat stage capitalism much?
