Love this. It should not be limited to this term. But it’s a great step forward.
Now @khanna.house.gov and other house members need to make the media tour , including Fox News, to talk about it

A photo, a zillion words, etc. Look at Spanky at the very end of the table, the consummate loser, not even important enough to be seated next to fElon. What does #MAGA have to say about this?
What is the good of introducing legislation that isn’t going to be passed or signed into law? We need real fight and collective action.
2. Here’s a dopey idea, since we all know it won’t be passed, maybe it’s better if they simply focused 100% OF THEIR ATTENTION on Crushing the Coup.
No $ at Movies, No $ for fuel, Spend nothing with AMAZON, WALMART, CHICK FIL A, HOME DEPOT, TARGET, HOBBY LOBBY
It is time for all Americans to remind MAGA REPUBLICANS the power the average consumer has in this country.
Please spread the word.....
It was in the twitter files.
"Harvard professor Lawrence Lessig sounds the alarm about the flood of money in US politics. He explains that these rivers of cash exacerbate inequality, encourage extreme political views and shut average voters out of the process."
Let's see if the children can police themselves

There’s a way, and I’m sure our IT and hackers and high-level ex Special Forces guys and the like could come up with a scheme or two.
I’ll make the cookies. 👵🥰
Why don’t we just enforce ethical decision making in congress instead ?
Oh yeh I remember- it’s just performative. What a waste of time. Let’s just stay being corrupt.
Would be nice if this passes, but it won’t
Maybe extend it to Congress and their staff…

When will you put your money where your mouth is and redistribute your vast wealth to build actual dual power for the people?
You won’t because you’re a fraud
People in Congress give away billions to people who contribute literally thousands to them.
Then after this vote, they need to vividly publish who voted each way.
Can they do one for Supreme Court Justices? That includes trips?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a PLUS, switch Congress to use the same medical plans as federal employees, or better yet the ACA.
We need a special investigator that reports to congress to investigate DOGE, corruption, Elon's contracts and favors to foreign states.
Corruption and treason - that's the message.
This is the way.
Don't need term limits, just ban PAC money, raise max person donation to $20,000.

We need a jubilee - ALL debts are wiped away. And a money exchange only for in the US, for US citizens and cancel the "old money". We can fix what they are stealing
This article, for instance, revolves around Democratic town halls in Virginia, but the headline doesn't mention that:

We are being stripped of our freedoms. Our voices are censored. Corruption runs unchecked while the people suffer. They want you distracted, divided, and afraid.
ENOUGH.
STEP 1
This is how we start the fight Like. Repost. Comment. FOLLOW SO WE CAN ORGANIZE! ITS TIME TO RISE
We have to raise taxes and cut expenditures in the past 5 years the federal workforce has greatly expanded
Dems...stop asking us for money! Start broadcasting nightly and tell me what you're doing to stop all this!
Then I will consider pitching in.

But I applaud the performance.
Mark, I know you wish to be the "good" billionaire, but you're part of the problem (and we'll ignore how you became a billionaire by selling your ridiculously overvalued company before it went belly-up).
TROUBLE IS IT WILL NEVER GET OUT OF COMMITEE.
LETS WORK FOR A MAJOR BLUE TSUNAMI IN 2026
Friendly reminder to all: Ro was the only member of the House Oversight Committee that was not present for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk for questioning about wtf is happening w doge’s hostile takeover of payment systems + the gov

RO got sued but the damage was done. Ro was Thiel's 1st Justice Dem to go to congress
Ro's a sabotour
As posers who deem themselves as wise old men
Therefore age limits deemed to say hey it’s time to hang it up.
But we still have 180 pause on FCPA + open invite for $1 bn or > FDI w/o “red tape” + federal asset sales / privatization + SVF proposal + crypto meme coin /laundering and whatever Musk is up to w/ contracts, Treasury + Ft Knox so…

Thiel's a shit like his PayPal mafia bud Elon.
And AOC's ex-COS is a part of it. She hired him.
Saikat Chakrabarti didn't stop with targeting Pelosi on day 1. He's now running for her House seat in CA.
Thos is Thirl's M.O.
Dirty up the opponant's name then trash & grab that legislative seat.
Its a cutthroat mafia game play.
hey ro? y'all done fucked up.
our response to you will reflect this.
