I don’t think I’ll ever forgive and certainly won’t ever forget how many people listened to the informed and earnest warnings of how disastrous a Trump 2.0 would be, and instead of genuinely listening, they clung to their racisim, their xenophobia, and their transphobia to vote for Trump anyway.

Right now, a middle-class nurse pays a higher payroll tax rate than a highly-paid CEO. That's wrong.
It's time to protect Social Security by scrapping the cap so higher-income earners and wealthy investors pay their fair share—preventing benefits cuts for everyone.

Dear America Voter,
This is what the Trump admin is focused on today, when they aren’t insider trading, making everything more expensive, selling pardons, and taking bribes from cronies.
Vote out all Republican enablers of this corrupt and pathetic regime.

Today I did, in fact, tumble out of bed, stumble to the kitchen, and pour myself a cup of ambition.
