To influence politicians, you need to know what motivates them.
Politicians have one main goal: To get re-elected.
Why aren’t @ABC @NBCNews @CBSNews @MSNBC @CNN @FoxNews asking serious hard news questions of all politicians and policy makers? Because they are not breaking news, they’re keeping score of a pretend game. A pox on both their houses!

It is a sad day when two members of the Democratic Caucus are prepared to allow the Freedom to Vote Act to fail and undermine the future of American democracy. I hope very much they will reconsider their positions.

In 1890, the filibuster was used to block legislation to protect the right of Black Americans to vote.
Fast forward 132 years, and the filibuster is once again being used to block legislation to protect the right to vote of communities of color.
Abolish the Jim Crow filibuster.

Democrats when they’re campaigning:
“This is the most important election in history. Vote blue or democracy dies.”
Democrats when they’re in power:
— Expand fossil fuel subsidies
— Oppose Medicare 4 All

Just Saying: Aaron Rogers is protesting in the name of MAGA uninformed anti-vaxxers and keeps his job. Colin Kaepernick protests peacefully for equality and is rejected by the NFL. There is something seriously wrong with American sports society.

Every few months, I repost “Good Bones” by Maggie Smith because it’s just so goddamn beautiful.

How do you describe broadcast outlets that give platforms to elected leaders who duck public debates against informed challengers?
Alternatively, what does it say about our country that Congress is led by a figure who has not debated anyone since 1987?
Today, I joined @MargBrennan on @FaceTheNation to discuss @HouseDemocrats’ legislative priorities for 2022, the coronavirus pandemic, voting rights legislation and other news of the day.

If you are asking for a raise, quitting your job for something better, or organizing with a union to demand better pay and working conditions, you are not only helping yourself, you are are being patriotic and helping workers everywhere. And that’s coming from me as a CEO.

As much as I hate to say it, being a woman (Susan Collins, Blackburn, almost every Republican woman in office) doesn’t make you right. Policy and honor are more important than genitalia.

Members of Congress shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks. It’s a no brainer.
