Your congressperson gets $2M a year in taxpayer money. I built a dashboard to show you where it goes. Nearly a quarter of it is paper mail during election years. His lowest-paid employee makes 20% less than offices that actually prioritize living wages. I’ll spend it on people, not paper.

Enten: "You think of the working class, those who have incomes less than $50,000. Look at how much they have turned against the president. His approval rating at the beginning of his second term was +2 -- down he goes, into the smithereens. Now at -34. That's an over 35 point shift."

NLRB General Counsel Crystal Carey has moved to end a major labor law case against Amazon, which has also sued to have the entire agency declared unconstitutional. Before being appointed by Trump, Carey worked at a corporate law firm that represented Amazon. Connect the dots.

Someone is dying in ICE custody EVERY WEEK. And that doesn't even include the American citizens ICE has killed in the middle of our streets in broad daylight. It could not be more clear, ICE needs guardrails, not a blank check from Congress.

Trump is touting the no tax on tips provision in his budget bill. But many tipped workers won't benefit because their earnings are so low. And the provision expires in 2028. The estate tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich? Those were made permanent. Funny how that works.

My friend Marena is dealing with some truly batshit insane people in this CA congressional race:

Another candidate in my congressional race called me a Chinese spy because I’m a scientist with an Asian last name. She told a rival campaign to act on it. She contacted the California Secretary of State. Eight days later she emailed me saying she has a Chinese cousin. 1/3

ICE IS DETAINING HUMAN BEINGS IN INHUMANE CONDITIONS. REPORTS OF PEOPLE BEING SHOT, STRIPPED AND NEGLECTED ARE OUTRAGEOUS. IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS, AND WE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS. STAND UP, SPEAK OUT AND DEFEND DIGNITY. ICE AND RIGHTS.

It is outrageous and appalling that @marenalinforcongress.com is being targeted by racist attacks as she runs for Congress in #California 's 32nd district. I am glad to read that other candidates are rightly condemning this.

A candidate in my race called me a Chinese spy because I’m a data scientist with an Asian last name. She told a rival campaign to act on it. My parents are from Taiwan. I have a doctorate. I was born and raised in this district, and I want to help as many people as possible. That’s why I’m running

@marenalinforcongress.com I attended the simi valley candidate forum tonight and I’m gonna be honest, I was pretty sure I would’ve voting for incumbent Brad Sherman before attending. But he DID NOT earn my vote. I was very impressed by your resume and your positions. I look forward to learning more!

I’m a climate scientist with a doctorate and published research in machine learning. Science built my career. Science built the rocket orbiting the moon right now. In Congress, I will fight to fully fund NASA, restore the NSF and NIH, and protect STEM education.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.
