    “What dreams would you pursue if your basic needs were met?” Our message is mainstream; it just makes sense. Hawaiian values are values.

    “But how are we going to pay for the Space Force?” Oh wait sorry - we only ask that when it comes to healthcare, education, and saving the planet.

    Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions. And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.

    "...why is it that our pockets only empty when it comes to education and healthcare..."

    "We only have empty pockets when it comes to the morally right things to do, but when it comes to tax cuts for billionaires and when it comes to unlimited war we seem to be able to invent that money very easily," Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says.

    What about the fact that everyday people in the Progressive movement did all of this while knocking on their neighbor’s doors against heavily financed opponents?

    Is the 1st Muslim woman (& 2nd member) going to Congress not stunning? What about winning & shifting R+20 Koch Bros’ district to R+4? Or unseating a 20+ year prosecutor in Ferguson? Is beating Right-to-Work in MO not stunning?

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's movement fails to deliver any stunning wins for the progressive left

    Under our Constitution, the duty of Congress is not to clear the President. The duty of Congress is to be a check and balance on the Executive Branch, and to pursue the facts wherever they may lead. Devin Nunes should resign for perverting the oath he took.

    In this part of the secret audio, Devin Nunes flatly admits that the reason it's so important for House Republicans to keep their majority is b/c "we're the only ones" left to shield Trump if "Sessions won't unrecuse and Mueller won't clear the president."
