@gtconway3d We do not understand why the House Democrats are not pursuing impeachment again. All of those reading this: we have to build a movement as big as Black Lives Matter. What will it take to light that spark?

Trump's resignation for (list of alleged crimes?) The letter could then state should he choose not to resign for said crimes, that the House will vote to impeach him for them. Committees:

Veterans Affairs, Financial Services, Budget, Armed Services, House Administration, Energy & Commerce, Transportation & Infrastructure all signed by the Chairpersons. That would take the onus off of Pelosi.

Bad enough @POLITICOMag publishes @SykesCharlie's fallacious article, but failure to label it OPINION is malpractice. After decades leading GOP off a cliff by peddling voodoo economics & corporate-rigged trade, anti-choice/anti-union Sykes is now determined to ruin Dem party. 1/7
“Annoyingly out of touch” @SykesCharlie fails to grasp Trumpism as a symptom of the deeper rot he helped create: decades of #Establishment in both parties abandoning workers & families in favor of corporate socialism for their donor-owners. 2/7
Best antidote to Trump’s fake right-wing populism is true progressive economic populism—policies that directly benefit workers & families by prioritizing #PeopleOverProfit and #PeopleOverParty. 2016 should have taught us that chasing the mythic “center” is a losing strategy. 3/7
This non-partisan CBO report shows what we already knew. This tax cut was not for average Americans. It ballooned our debt & fails to help workers. It's a transfer of wealth from our future generations to the 0.1%. We must do better. #AZ06 #PeopleOverParty

“In 2018, gross domestic product (GDP) grew at 2.9%, about the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO's) projected rate published in 2017 before the tax cut. On the whole, the growth effects tend to show a relatively small (if any) first-year effect on the economy.”
“The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimated that these changes would reduce tax revenue by $1.5 trillion over 10 years.” We are paying for this on the backs of our children and our grandchildren.
