.@BernieSanders is ranking Democrat on Budget committee. If we win White House and take Senate he stands to have seat at the head of the table. If he's smart he'll play ball and suspend. Get on the band wagon to defeat Trump.
Change comes from Congress. budget.senate.gov/ranking-member…
I was a big LBJ fan in my early teens. The Great Society. The Vietnam War ruined it all. Only the Civil Rights Acts survived. I have a budget calculator and I think just rational top-earner tax rates can do it all. I'm not sure I'd change the corporate rates.
My preference would be to force the cash out of corporations via retained earnings limitations and taxing the dividends as shareholder regular income. Encourage corporations to borrow. Makes a healthy banking sector and we can wean them off of the stock market casino.
When we change 11 USC 523 to make student loans dischargeable the banks may be stressed. We can back-fill with tax policy to off set the losses. Most will take a refi rather than discharge. Good Bk lawyer work (shameless plug). 😎
And build high-speed rail, coast to coast. Boston to Miami. Chicago to Houston. Seattle to San Diego. It's time we get back into the game. @JoeBiden @SenSanders

Nice work @WhiteHouse. I'm guessing you all bought some puts before Nutsy Fagan's little nightmare presser.

1. We should organize high school kids in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. I don't see anyone doing that. I did it as a high school Jr for Teddy in 1970. For election turn-out, kids rock. Plus you get new Democrats. Make a lasting connection through common goals. @TimOBrien
2. You contact that one kid in every high school, who got stuff done.

You give them a title and a shot for the best resume in school. Networking.

Now you can use Twitter DM groups to keep contact within the regional groups and DM group to organize leaders into regional or
3. sector subgroups. Assists in logistics and focusing media content to sectors. All without touching Facebook or spending a dime.

Put together an army of get-out-vote teens. Discourage @facebook. Maybe @MikeBloomberg can stand up a young voter social media platform?

WHITE HOUSE CONTROL
To bring about this state of affairs compliant politicians are needed, and of them the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion say:

"The administrators whom we shall choose from among the public, with strict regard to their capacities for servile obedience
, will not be persons trained in the arts of
government, and will therefore easily become pawns in our game in the hands of
men of learning and genius who will be their advisers, specialists bred
and reared from early childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world".

“White House economic advisers see few options for reversing course should the economy start to slip.”
“Trump has taken to blaming others for the recession fears, mostly the [Fed] .... Yet much of the uncertainty in the markets stems from his own escalation of a trade war with China, as well as weakened economies in key countries around the world.”

“Some of Trump’s closest advisers have urged him to lower the temperature of the trade dispute, fearing that further tariffs would only hurt American consumers and rattle the markets further.”

Head’s up. @SwingLeft is paying attention to #Census2020 and #Gerrymandering in terms of protecting our democracy. I like their strategy for the win. Here is their recent email, which they asked us to share liberally on social media. #Election2020 1/
The Trump administration has tried to sneak a question of citizenship status into the #2020census. Recently leaked documents from a GOP redistricting strategist revealed it was created specifically to exclude minority groups like Latinx from census participation—resulting in 2/
... inaccurate population counts that affect apportionment (how House seats are distributed) and federal funding for critical social services. If this happens, Republicans will have another baked-in electoral advantage—and communities of color will be underrepresented ...

White House whistleblower says 25 security clearance denials were reversed during Trump administration wapo.st/2U7eW4c?tid=ss…
A White House whistleblower told lawmakers that more than two-dozen denials for security clearances have been overturned during the Trump administration, calling Congress her “last hope” for addressing what she considers improper conduct that has left the nation’s secrets exposed
Tricia Newbold, a longtime White House security adviser, told the House Oversight Committee she and her colleagues issued “dozens” of denials for security clearance applications that were later approved despite concerns about blackmail, foreign influence, or other red flags

⁉️Did you know that Steve King U.S. Congress IA-04, running against #Democrat J.D. Scholten @Scholten4Iowa wants to ban abortion and completely overturn Roe v. Wade?

rewire.news/article/2018/0…
⁉️Did you know that in 1970 New York state was the second state to make abortion legal after Hawaii?

▶️New York's law was much more permissive since it allowed nonresidents to obtain a legal abortion in the state.

nytimes.com/2000/04/09/nyr…
⚡️But the paradoxical thing is, the law was passed by Republicans.

💥That's right. The Governor was Nelson Rockefeller who was a Republican and the New York State House and State Senate were both Republican majorities.

🤔Yup, a Republican Trifecta!

Senate Republicans want to wrap up Judge Kavanaugh’s hearing before the National Archives releases documents - which Republicans themselves requested - about the work Kavanaugh did in the White House. This is unprecedented and unfair to the American people.
These documents may bear directly on the credibility of Judge Kavanaugh’s sworn testimony, not to mention his legal views and temperament. The American people deserve to know the true story of the man seeking a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.
It’s clear there are things in Judge Kavanaugh’s White House record that Senate Republicans do not want the American people to see. What are they hiding?”
