    New policy proposal dropping tomorrow with a special Senate co-lead 😎 It’s radical, which I always love, and we’re keeping more coins in your pocket, which I also love.

    Why polling is useful but not definitive. You can change public opinion. “Take the temperature or change the thermostat.” -. Amen.

    Before we won, climate issues were ranked very low in nat’l voter priorities. Thanks to risk-taking activism, it’s now consistently ranked as a #1 or at least a top 3 issue for many voters. Leadership is often about choice: take the temperature, or change the thermostat.

    That’s too bad. The President does not exist above Congress, he governs alongside us. That’s what co-equal means. If he prefers to rule by fiat, he’s welcome to resign and return to the Trump Org tax-fraud fiefdom in the private sector whenever he pleases. Checks & balances ✅

    President Trump has invoked executive privilege over the complete Mueller report and underlying documents.

    🗣Labor, labor - read all about it! Your Direct Action for today: Don’t take an Uber or Lyft just for the day. (Just today! Cabs are fine! You can do it!) It’s a small but big way you can help all the drivers you’ve met get paid more to feed their families + support themselves.

    Uber and Lyft drivers in many U.S. cities plan to strike today to draw attention to what they say are decreasing wages for drivers and a distressing lack of job security.

    As Jim Jordan complains about this contempt hearing, it reminds me, whatever happened with all this? Remember how former Ohio State wrestlers accused him of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse?

    If your “business model” is based on caging kids, keeping fams in freezing rooms to save on heating costs, and for-profit incarceration, you shouldn’t be in business at all. Caging people shouldn’t be a financially incentivized activity. For-profit prisons should be banned.

    BIG: think private prison giant wasn’t shaken by our movement getting to stop financing them? Think again. Here’s Geo, flagrant human rights violator, telling the SEC it’s business model is at risk. LINK:

    It was an honor to meet w/ today, support legislation to fight for their right to healthcare + pensions, and discuss how we can move forward on the right to clean air and water, together. The folks trying to turn us against one another are fighting a losing battle.

    Thank you, for co-sponsoring HR 934/935 to keep the promise to our nation’s for their pensions and healthcare.

    What’s funny is that there *are* Dems that do act like the Tea Party- but they’re conservative. They threaten Dem votes to get concessions for a small minority, tried to hand Speakership to the GOP, fundraise $ w/ Mike Pence, etc Progressives don’t do that. And I drink coffee.

    For context, this kicks in within days of a typical at-home test working. If you were sexually assaulted (stress delays cycle), took a morning-after pill (throws off cycle), or have an irregular cycle, you‘d have no idea. There are a TON of ways this law ignores basic biology.

    “6 weeks pregnant” = 2 weeks late on your period. Most of the men writing these bills don’t know the first thing about a woman’s body outside of the things they want from it. It’s relatively common for a woman to have a late period + not be pregnant. So this is a backdoor ban.

    Wouldn’t you think someone who personally lost over a BILLION dollars (“more than nearly any other taxpayer in America”) be vulnerable to shady activity to get out of that hole? If they became the most powerful public servant in America, wouldn’t you want to see their taxes? 🤔

    JUST POSTED: The New York Times has obtained 10 years of previously unrevealed figures from Donald Trump's federal income-tax returns - from 1985 to 1994. Trump ran up $1.2 billion in core business losses in the decade we examined. LOTS here 👉

    They were illegal in NYC for a long time and never really became a thing after the ban was lifted 😂 Other home things many NYers don’t have in their apartments: washer/dryer, dishwasher, central air. (Saving up for a portable dishwasher was one of the best things we did)

    As if billionaires haven’t been influencing policy this whole time? Health corps are why the US is the ONLY highly developed nation w/o universal healthcare. Fossil Fuel execs funded resistance to climate policy. &corp lobbyists are why we don’t have publicly funded elections.

    If the want to be competitive in 2020, they must listen to card-carrying and Charlie Munger, and not , , , and their ilk.

    PSA for folks who haven’t had consistent healthcare/doctors: Get your Tetanus vaccine booster! You’re supposed to get them every 10 yrs as an adult - I just got mine bc I didn’t have insurance for a bit. My shot also included a whooping cough booster bc of recent outbreaks.
