RT @GunnelsWarren: At noon tomorrow, McConnell is expected to ask for Unanimous Consent to vote on the veto override of the $740 billion defense bill. Bernie will object until we get a vote on $2,000 direct payments. We can force the Senate to stay in session until the New Year. This is no bluff. https://t.co/DgRB6hJgW8

RT @SiegelForTexas: INCUMBENT DEMS ARE A PROBLEM In 2020 the worst-performing turnout districts were safe Democratic congressional seats. While 413K voted in TX-10 where I ran, less than 160K voted in two Democratic districts. Dead weight on the ticket is a major obstacle to political change. https://t.co/rIRbHAgchH
RT @SiegelForTexas: THE MEDIA IS A PROBLEM IN LOCAL RACES @JulieOliverTX and I ran into the same issue — local media give little coverage to congressional campaigns. Without media regarding our races or a national discussion of progressive issues, getting our message out is even harder. https://t.co/IAjehc77Vf
RT @SiegelForTexas: RUNNING PROGRESSIVE DOESN’T HURT — BUT THE PARTY TICKET CAN I was branded as a radical communist who'd abolish prisons. Yet I performed as well as moderates with 5x the cash. The problem was that our populist message—healthcare and jobs for all—was not reinforced by Biden. https://t.co/2gNcmL63Fy
RT @SiegelForTexas: LOCALIZE OUR MESSAGES & KEEP IT SIMPLE Cookie-cutter messaging does not inspire. Yet with too much detail, voters can’t remember what we stand for.

RT @SiegelForTexas: ADDRESS THE TOXIC DEMOCRATIC BRAND @ClaytonTuckerTX ran for state senate across rural Texas, and saw how a message of healthcare, jobs, and basic human dignity can succeed. Yet although “vote blue” inspires some, too many Texans see the party as weak, ineffectual and corrupt. https://t.co/m73RfXF0VI
RT @SiegelForTexas: SHARE A POPULIST MESSAGE & BUILD A MULTIRACIAL COALITION Progressives can tap the populist spirit in Texas politics with a strong economic message. Washington decision-makers may not see this, but Texas could inspire the nation on issues from climate to jobs and justice. https://t.co/JzqAVpoIRr
RT @SiegelForTexas: PREPARE FOR THE LONG HAUL When @CristinaforTX ran for US Senate, she saw the gaps in Texas political institutions.

RT @davidminpdx: The effort to situate federal executions as something that Trump & Barr did is false and wrong.

RT @ninaturner: The last time Congress passed a stimulus bill was on March 27th, 2020. It took 268 days for @senatemajldr to compromise on ONE $600 survival check. That amounts to an additional $2.24 per day since the passage of the Cares Act. Families are on the brink. We must do better. https://t.co/31mJmCsop4
RT @RashidaTlaib: .@CoriBush is right. It was originally recurring $2,000 a month, and some proposals had it triggered by the unemployment rate in the country. We ended up with one time $1,200 and told another bill will address the need for more later. Here we are 8 months later. https://t.co/IIWWh2CWWj
RT @RashidaTlaib: More help for who? How are the millions of people facing evictions, remain unemployed, standing in food bank & soup kitchen lines supposed to live off of $600?

RT @davenewworld_2: REMINDER: Stimulus checks cost less than $300 billion which means if the GOP never gave $1 trillion in tax cuts to the rich & powerful, then 250 million Americans could've had multiple $1200 checks by now which would've been recycled back into the economy. https://t.co/mXBhnVVIEd

4,000 @amazon employees are currently on food stamps and the damn owner of the company has made BILLIONS of dollars this year alone. It's so gross.
