@FirepitMike @Lj4CONGRESS Corporate candidate showing his real self

Watch to the end to see Michael Kirwan NASTILY grab the mic from @Lj4CONGRESS. At this debate, it was clear that LJ is the most informed and experienced candidate and will be the one best able to articulate a progressive agenda to beat Aaron Bean. It wasn't even close.

It would take the average household around 100,000 YEARS to make as much money as Donald Trump gave to Amazon last year.

Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.

Donald Trump has imposed a national sales tax on the American people.

I will not vote for any budget deal that gives more power and funding to Donald Trump so he can make life more dangerous and more expensive for American families. Congress must restrict spending on forever wars overseas and stop ICE’s terror here at home.

La gran enseñanza de Benito Juárez en estos momentos debe guiar también a Estados Unidos: entre los individuos como entre las Naciones el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz.

@ScottforFlorida @POTUS Del y Rodriguez was never VP either..... So why are you recognizing her now as the new President of Venezuela?⁉️

Maduro was never the president of Venezuela, and thanks to @POTUS, the days of him and his thuggish regime robbing the people of Venezuela of freedom and democracy are OVER.

@SenWarren What are you going to do about it?⁉️ Please take action not just talk about it

President Trump’s unilateral military action to attack another country and seize Maduro — no matter how terrible a dictator he is — is unconstitutional and threatens to drag the U.S. into further conflicts in the region. What does it mean that the U.S. will ‘run’ Venezuela, and what will Trump do next around the world? The American people voted for lower costs, not for Trump’s dangerous military adventurism overseas that won’t make the American people safer.

@CoryBooker Question: What are you going to do about it???? Just tweet? Please follow this statement with action.

Today, many leaders will rightly condemn President Donald Trump’s unlawful and unjust actions in Venezuela, and I join them. But just as glaring, and far more damning, is Congress’ ongoing abdication of its constitutional duty. For almost a year now, the legislative branch has failed to check a president who repeatedly violates his oath, disregards the law, and endangers American interests at home and abroad. Time and again, Congress, now led by Republicans, has chosen spineless complicity over its sworn responsibilities. From the reckless leaking of classified information that put American troops at risk, to the illegal use of military force destroying vessels and killing people in the Caribbean and the Pacific without congressional authorization, there has been a stunning absence of accountability. No hearings. No serious investigations. No enforcement of checks and balances. No accountability. Again and again, the president has exceeded his authority, defied congressional intent, trampled the separation of powers, and broken the law - while Congress looked away in cowardice and submission. Republicans in Congress own this corrosive collapse of our constitutional order. With only a handful of honorable exceptions, they have bent themselves to the will of Donald Trump, afraid to state in public the feelings they often communicate privately. That submission, this abandonment of independent judgment and constitutional courage, now stands as one of the greatest dangers to our nation and to the global order America claims to defend. Nicolás Maduro is a brutal dictator who has committed grave abuses. The United States military remains the most capable fighting force on Earth, and our praiseworthy service members carry out their orders with professionalism and excellence. But none of that suspends the Constitution. The Constitution is unambiguous: Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp, to the President. On this count, Congress has failed. We face an authoritarian-minded president who acts with dangerous growing impunity. He has shown a willingness to defy court orders, violate the law, ignore congressional intent, and shred basic norms of decency and democracy. This pattern will continue unless the Article I branch of government, especially Republican congressional leadership, finds the courage to act. They must stop behaving as partisan puppets and start acting as patriotic constitutional stewards. What happened today is wrong. Congressional Republicans would say so immediately if a Democratic president had done the same. Their silence is surrender. And in that surrender lie the seeds of our democratic unraveling. There are still three years left in this administration. From the pardoning of individuals who violently attacked police officers while attempting to overturn our election to this latest extrajudicial assault on another nation’s sovereignty, the damage will continue unless it is confronted. Enough is enough.

El Artículo 2, párrafo 4 de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas dice textualmente: “Los Miembros de la Organización, en sus relaciones internacionales, se abstendrán de recurrir a la amenaza o al uso de la fuerza contra la integridad territorial o la independencia política de cualquier Estado, o en cualquier otra forma incompatible con los Propósitos de las Naciones Unidas.” La posición del gobierno de México: gob.mx/sre/prensa/mex…

Estoy retirado de la política, pero mis convicciones libertarias me impiden callar ante el prepotente atentado a la soberanía del pueblo de Venezuela y el secuestro de su presidente. Ni Bolívar ni Lincoln aceptarían que el gobierno de Estados Unidos actuara como una tiranía mundial. Presidente Trump: no caiga en la autocomplacencia ni escuche el canto de las sirenas. Mande al carajo a los halcones; usted tiene capacidad para actuar con juicio práctico. No olvide que la efímera victoria de hoy puede ser la contundente derrota del mañana. La política no es imposición. Recuerde que “el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz”, como nos enseñó Benito Juárez en el siglo XIX. Soy mexicano con mucho orgullo, pero también latinoamericano. Apoyo incondicionalmente a mi presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum. Por ahora no le mando un abrazo. AMLO

@SecWar Secretary of ‘War’ wishing you ‘peace”

Merry Christmas to all. Today we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May His light bring peace, hope, and joy to you and your families.

With our hearts full of light and love, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Getting to know our great-grandson Willie in his first year has been a blessing and a reminder of the hope we will always have for the future. Our wish for you and for our country is that we continue to seek in one another love, kindness, and compassion.

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

Growing up in Back of the Yards in a Mexican immigrant family, nothing was ever handed to me. I’m running for Congress to fight for the community that raised me, and to give voters in the 4th district a choice in this election.

My campaign for Congress is rooted in the values of my Back of the Yards community that raised me. Thanks to @tahmanbradley for letting me show him around the block where I grew up yesterday. I'm grateful for the overwhelming response our campaign's already received- thank you!

@SpeakerJohnson You need to stop getting paid as well and have your healthcare taken away. You have not worked so you cannot get back pay

The list of Americans hurt by this Democrat Shutdown continues to grow — troops at risk of missing paychecks, families losing nutrition assistance, and now air traffic controllers, working hard without pay just to keep Americans’ flights safe and on time. Flight delays have now SKYROCKETED from 5% to 53% because of staffing shortages due to the Democrat Shutdown. All while Democrats hold their paychecks hostage - allowing them to suffer - ONLY for the Dems’ political “leverage.”
