Big Money must be banned
12 senators for Green New Deal got $1.1 million from oil, gas & coal companies
88 senators who won't support it got about $59 million
That's $670,000 per nonbacker, or more than 7 times what the average sponsor got

One of the ugly facts laid bare in the Epstein plea deal is that many powerful people feel zero shame helping a billionaire who has molested girls as young as 14. Zero consequences. Crimes against kids happen not only because of the criminals but their support networks.

I'm not a woman but I believe in equal pay.
I'm not an LGBTQ but I believe in equal marriage rights.
I'm not an Immigrant, but I believe that DREAMers deserve a chance.
I'm not African American, but I believe in equal rights.
It's NOT called politics...
It's called CARING!

This is despicable. Election officials in at least EIGHTEEN Pennsylvania counties have accepted gifts from voting equipment vendors. say “at least” because there are likely more who refused to refused to fess up.

Something is very wrong in Georgia. The Republicans there WANT insecure voting equipment and are willing to deceive the public and pay three times as much to get it. The GA media is helping them. The national media refuses to shine a light. This is an American tragedy. #gapol
Georgia House committee led by @flemingbarrya—w/ huge assist by @Scot23—approves new barcode ballot marking devices—which all cyber security experts warn against—after stacking the deck by refusing 2 call a single CYBER SECURITY EXPERT 2 testify! #gapol @stevebenen @henryrbutler

We are numb to this, but here the President of the United States is amplifying calls to jail U.S. law enforcement officials who are investigating a foreign power's sabotaging of our election on his behalf.

The most startling revelation in the 60 Minutes interview with Andrew McCabe is that @realDonaldTrump told FBI officials in a White House intelligence briefing:
“I don't care. I believe Putin."
How much longer are we going to allow a TRAITOR to occupy our Oval Office?

Here's a question: will a single other British news organisation follow up on this story? And if not, why not?
NEW: Cambridge Analytica employee who worked on Brexit is subpoeaned by Robert Mueller. This is BIG. Brittany Kaiser - who sat next to @arron_banks at LeaveEU launch - becomes subject of Mueller inquiry into Trump-Russia collusion 💣🔥🎆

“The man who was dying and found the clarity of mind for just a second to send me one last text to let me know he would always love me.”
We don’t have to live like this. Our loved ones sure as hell shouldn’t die like this. Text ACT to 644-33.

People bled & some even died 4 the right to vote. Now Brian Kemp plans 2 force Georgia voters to use an insecure #BarcodeVoting system that will prevent voters from knowing if their votes have been stolen. Where's the media?! @maddowblog @allinwithchris #HandMarkedPaperBallots 1/ – at Oakland, CA

The rule of law not only guards against a lawless president, it’s the longest pole in our big tent of democracy. If it’s steady and strong, it holds up everything we value: free speech, free markets, and the freedom to dream. If it falls, we lose everything.

A new study found the U.S. fell from 6th in education and health care in 1990 to now 27th.
When was the last time you heard Trump or Republicans mention either?

So not only is #MarALardass trending, it is specifically pulling up @realdonaldtrump's account when you search the hashtag

Such a damning, depressing line in @dwallacewells tour de force new essay on climate change: "If we had started global decarbonization in 2000 we would have had to cut emissions by only about 2 percent per year to stay safely under two degrees of warming." nytimes.com/2019/02/16/opini…

This is absurd. You cannot possibly compare the necessity to fortify a base in a war zone with the desire to build a civilian border wall to supplement a civilian border mission. These are just words designed to give partisans words to say in defense of POTUS.
Stephen Miller says Trump's prior decision to send troops to the border justifies his emergency declaration to build a wall, because we must protect the troops. fxn.ws/2IkZgVw
Cardboard cutout coat holder for @realDonaldTrump falls flat on his face abroad. No one is buying what you are selling, @VP Only MAGAts at Trumpistan rallies cheer on cue. But, you keep doing you, Boo.
Speaking to a security conference in Munich, Pence tells his audience he brings greetings from President Trump... and not a single person claps. #awkward
