Let’s be honest: the policies they’re pushing? LITERALLY straight out of Project 2025. The same plan they claimed they had nothing to do with. Now they’re writing them into law—gutting public lands, rejecting science, and handing out kickbacks to their corporate buddies. We’re fighting back!

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Trump's immigration crackdown isn't just disappearing innocent people, it is undermining the right to free speech. It seems like if you are an immigrant, even one here legally, who disagrees with the President, your rights are gone. It's fundamentally un-American.

It’s bad enough that they are punishing people for taking a stand against what was found beyond a reasonable doubt by both state and federal courts to be criminally excessive police violence. But to take the time and effort five years later to identify and punish them is downright sick.
