The cynics will tell you that one vote won’t change anything. But what they don’t tell you is that nothing can change without a vote. The truth is, the world doesn’t belong to the cynics. It’s up to us. New York: It’s time to vote.🗳️ Tuesday, June 25th. Spread the word.

.@AOC responds to this trend: "BOOOOO" "This race to try to see who can be exempt from participating in society is not a conversation that I'm interested in," she tells me. "I'm a Great Society Democrat, and I believe in building that together. And I think that the discourse around 'Everyone, let's all be like billionaires and opt out of our taxes,' I don't find it an inspiring message."

New: Tax cuts are the HOTTEST new idea for Democrats Booker & Van Hollen (both 2028 prospects) unveil big tax-cut plans. Katie Porter says exempt $100K in income from California taxes. Keisha Lance Bottoms says exempt teachers from Georgia taxes. Pitched as answer to cost-of-living struggles. BUT: It has spurred a “wonk revolt” from liberal and moderate policy experts. The latter say the math won’t add up. The former say treating taxes as a punishment undermines the pursuit of a safety net. nbcnews.com/politics/elect…

You say you’re “done” with me, @epaleezeldin, but I’m not done with you. Your job is to serve the American people. You chose to serve Monsanto instead. Yesterday you got caught red-handed. Your actions on glyphosate are a betrayal of the American people. They deserve justice.
Lee Zeldin@epaleezeldin

I told Senator Sheldon WhiteClub today that I won’t be listening to or caring about any of his lessons on morality knowing that he joined an all-white Rhode Island Country Club. I’m also done with the likes of AOC, Al Gore, John Kerry, and the rest of the lying cabal that make stupid climate predictions, plunder tens of billions of tax dollars, enrich their well-connected allies, and are committed to strangulating out of existence entire sectors of our economy. Climate alarmist AOC wants to be taken seriously while also insisting the world is imminently about to end due to climate change (Just under 5 years remain on her nutty Jan 2019 prediction that only 12 years of life are left on Earth). Al Gore is now speaking publicly about his concern with global freezing after decades of grift talking about global warming. “Within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro,” said Gore in 2006 (There’s still snow on Kilimanjaro year-round). Gore also predicted in 2009 ice-free Arctic summers within 5-7 years. John Kerry warned in 2009 that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. These people are dishonest, power-hungry hacks. The GREEN NEW SCAM is DEAD!!!

"Our current system forces working people to make the impossible choice between rent, childcare, or leaving the workforce altogether. Our bill would ensure no American spends more than 7% of their income on childcare." -- @aoc

Rep. @AOC: Have you ever participated in a meeting with Bayer to discuss the legal issues the company was facing about glyphosate? Lee Zeldin: That topic did not come up AOC: You're certain they didn't bring up anything? Zeldin: 100%, absolutely AOC: Okay. I would like to submit to the record some internal emails to the EPA. We have documentation here

A Perry Mason moment here between AOC and Lee Zeldin. After Lee Zeldin denies meeting with Bayer to discuss litigation the company was facing, AOC presents visitor logs and emails from Zeldin’s senior advisor stating that Zeldin would be meeting with the Bayer CEO to discuss “legal/judicial issues.” “In this internal email, it says that Bayer was specifically seeking and discussing Supreme Court action, it would want an update on EPA’s regulatory review, and that, interestingly, Bayer will provide a small thanks for updating the glyphosate webpage from the EPA and work on MAHA.”

PabloReports: Are you concerned about ICE agents wearing these Meta glasses? Are they going to start profiling people? AOC: Absolutely. They have made clear that their goal is not even immigrants so much as it is profiling every American who comes out to protest, profiling every American who exercises their First Amendment rights. They want to create a mass surveillance state. They want to know every one of your movements, and they want to hand all of that over—not just in a government database, but also to these AI companies as well. And we cannot allow for that to happen. Absolutely not.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set. And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people. So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.
