We need aggressive economic correction plus reform. Paying off college loans only for entrepreneurs who were able to score Pell Republicans isn't going to cut it. Not by a long shot.

Healthcare for all protects the masses from disease, distress, and depressed economics. Not only is healthcare a human right, it helps protect us from pandemics and keeps the general public healthier and more productive.

Do we really need to continue suffering debate over basic nutrition and shelter? Our tax money is going toward more yachts for billionaires, not the meat in the single mom's grocery cart. Consider who benefits from the public's belief in the latter.

Republicans have been aggressively undermining our economy since I was a homeless kid due to Reagan's destruction of the S&L industry and the lie of trickle down economics.

What trickles down is waste product, and society ends up living in the billionaires' dump instead of living in support of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

What were Democrats doing these past forty years as Republicans pillaged and plundered on their watch? You're seeing it now with their refusal to impeach.

They are complacent. They "negotiate." The meet extremism in an shifting middle that has moved from reason to old school Republican.

Fuck you @RepAdamSchiff, impeachment isn't about the Senate, it's the duty of the House to restrain an executive who subverts our Constitution and rule of law, and you know it.
I'll take the Constitution over your crystal ball any day, and I don't believe you anyway.

My contempt for their dereliction of duty is palpable.

The South Carolina ratification convention impeachment criteria: those are impeachable 'who behave amiss or betray their public trust.'"

"It is wrong, I suggest, it is a misreading of the Constitution for any member here to assert that for a member to vote for an article of impeachment means that that member must be convinced that the president should be removed from office. The Constitution doesn't say that."
The centrists or "moderates," as they refer to themselves are up against a wall: one one side is our Constitution and liberty, on the other is authoritarianism and oppression.
Be advised: these representatives aren't moderate; they're complicit and have been for 40+ years.

I will not sit here and be an idle spectator to a traitor destroying democracy while the Democrats let it happen. I will fight for this country, for this Constitution, and for the lives of those who will succeed me.
I am an inquisitor.
