In Michigan and Texas, the Dems vowed to Break Up Big Medicine.
In Iowa and Maine, Dems ran to protect Social Security by making billionaires pay their fair share.
In North Carolina and Alaska, Dems pushed back against grocery mergers.
Economic populism was a winning strategy.

Excellent! Sen. Jon Ossoff is calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. It should never be allowed for billionaires/oligarchs like Musk, who pumped almost half a billion dollars into the midterm election, to buy our politicians and government.

I hope the day comes when people are concerned about the pay, benefits and working conditions of the people who labor in our fields, vineyards and orchards.
They make our food possible and deserve more respect and advocacy from all of us.
Support the United Farm Workers.
Farm workers in the Arvin CA area are harvesting and bunching beets into groups of three. They then put them in boxes that contain 24 bunches per box. The workers earn CA minimum wage. #WeFeedYou

.@AbdulElSayed is a fighter, and he’s offering something people haven’t felt from Washington in a long time: hope. He’ll fight to get big money out of politics, put more money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All. Big money is loud, but it isn’t unbeatable—and we can prove it.
