Today, we held a press conference in front of the SVB offices in Tempe.

The SVB collapse is a direct result of Kyrsten Sinema’s choice to side with big banks over everyday Arizonans.. Image
FEC records and public lobbying reports show that three SVB lobbyists maxed out donations to Sinema ahead of 2018 Dodd-Frank rollback which led to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Image
Sinema is in the pocket of Wall Street and her vote put hardworking Arizona, their families, and their small business, at risk of another 2008-like meltdown. Image

What is the difference between me and Kyrsten Sinema?

When the bank lobby asked me to weaken banking regulations, I said no. When they asked Sinema, she asked how much—and then voted yes. This is the consequence of choosing to side with Wall Street Banks.
I remember bank lobbyists really going for it, but it sounded crazy from the get-go.

The federal government should claw back executive bonuses and investigate Silicon Valley Bank for insider trading.

Sinema raked in more than $100,000 from big bank lobbyists—16 times more than the average Democrat who voted against deregulation.

While everyone is talking about @kyrstensinema’s friendship w/ @TulsiGabbard, her friendship with predatory lenders is worse. She has voted to weaken the @CFPB, the agency that protects vulnerable Arizonans from predators like pay day lenders. 🧵 (1/7)
In 2015, @kyrstensinema cosponsored & voted for a bill that made it harder for the CFPB to go after financial bad actors by requiring it to spend more on bureaucracy & therefore LESS on enforcement. (2/7)
Bad actors like the medical debt collectors AZ just voted overwhelmingly to regulate. (3/7) azmirror.com/blog/voters-ov…

This is not the case and it is sad. The American public stopped caring about Afghanistan years ago. Nat Sec, Veterans, media and politicos were just talking to each other for years while isolating the general public.
It was an unholy alliance that Washington DC and the Pentagon had gotten used to. Keeping casualties low, meant we can keep the war going and not admit defeat. You didn’t have to be the last general to “lose Afghanistan”. Or the President that pulled out.
But Afghanistan was always going to collapse. Keeping Afghanistan low profile stopped many including Congress from seeing institutionally how weak it was and asking for hard reforms or a quicker exit.

Why do I have to fight my son to take a bath and to get out of the bath? Is this a think with all kids?
FML looking at all the answers from the parents.
He just farted and asked me why I didn’t laugh. “farts are funny” he said.
I am trying not to laugh.... parenting is hard.

This how the 1% look at minorities. I was a classmate of Kushner let me tell you what I did to get into Harvard compared to what he did. Yes a thread.
My freshman year of HS. I realized that the only way college was gonna happen was that first I had to do well on my exams. So I started buying used prep exam books and copying exams from the library. The school librarian is a close friend to this day. (Thanks Mrs. Conley)
I was lucky enough to have a job that let me practice my tests in between flipping burgers. (Thank you Steve and Souzy’s) I used that money to pay for extracurriculars that would look good on a college resume. Even went to Greece on exchange.
