When you realize Dwight may or may not have had a far-right YouTube Channel to challenge people to debate him 😂

Last night, while America was distracted by a potential government shutdown, the GOP quietly passed a tax bill that gutted the Johnson Amendment, which could give billionaires a tax break for funneling secret money into our elections through charities and churches.

Climate change isn’t happening in 10 years. It’s happening now. We need large, immediate investment NOW to protect our shores from rising sea levels + invest in new transport. Without it, we will lose Amtrak + our other infrastructure (roads, airports) as they go underwater.

With $5.7B, you could: -- Cover 852,017 uninsured Americans or -- Fund universal pre-K plan (options b/w $2B-$12B) Granted you'd want these be recurring expenses rather than annual, but GOP also wants $25 billion for wall -- Repairing Flint's water pipes: $55 million

For the wall’s $5.7 billion, every child in America could have access to Universal Pre-K. Yet when we propose the SAME $, we’re told Universal Edu is a “fantasy”& asked “how are you going to pay for it” Education is an investment in society that yields returns. Walls are waste.

Since 2008, just *.5%* of successful Congressional campaigns have been majority-funded by small-dollar donors. We’re one of them. Because everyday people give (link in bio!), I won’t have to spend 4-8 hours PER DAY dialing for dollars. I can legislate.

Asking Members who accept fossil fuel money to recuse themselves from climate change legislation avoids a conflict of interest. Not a 1st Amendment violation! It’s common sense political reform which Dems say is our first priority! ⁦

And just like that, GOP discovers $5.7 billion for a wall. $5.7 billion What if we instead added $5.7B in teacher pay? Or replacing water pipes? Or college tuition/prescription refill subsidies? Or green jobs? But notice how no one’s asking the GOP how they’re paying for it.

We don’t have time to sit on our hands as our planet burns. For young people, climate change is bigger than election or re-election. It’s life or death. Loading a climate committee w/ fossil fuel💰 is akin to letting foxes in the henhouse. We shouldn’t be afraid to lead.

Sec. Nielsen has no idea how many children have died under her watch, because she doesn’t *care* how many children have died under her watch. We know of at least one girl. She was 7: Jakelin Caal Maquin. Thank you for asking these questions and not letting go.

Rep. Joe Kennedy III 20 dic
Senate passed CR without a single objection. House could likely pass it with a veto proof majority to keep the government open. Which means Paul Ryan is choosing to end his career in a government shutdown to satisfy President Trump.

Why we need more women in office ➡️ “By keeping it real, hopes to show others that while it may present its challenges, anyone can and should run for office.”

A new poll shows that 81% of Americans support the , including 64% of Republicans. Meanwhile, momentum for the select committee continues to build with 40 House Dems in support. The wind is at our backs. Bold climate action is our future. Thank you .
