I don’t have a problem with guns and in fact I believe we can solve our gun problems through better economic policies like higher wages and access to healthcare. However, a 14 yr old shouldn’t be walking around with an assault weapon in public.

Of course 71% of Americans think the country is the wrong track. Corporate profits have hit record highs but we can’t even get the minimum wage raised to $15, or extend tax breaks to middle and working class Americans via the full child tax credit and earned income tax credit.

It’s time for the U.S to completely reform welfare because what we have right now is workfare. and other companies are basically getting their wages subsidized via SNAP benefits. We must🛑tying benefits to work, it’s terrible policy and provides no help to the unemployed

One big part of ’ State of the Union that I disagreed with was stating the corporations should do the right thing.Well sorry they don’t and never will, there job is simple maximizing profits.The government must steer them towards good behavior via regulations,or tax credits

😂 responds to Trump basically calling him a pedophile by simply saying “I don’t smear other Republicans”. Trump will chew and spit out Ron in a Republican primary. The corporate media wants to act like he has a chance but he doesn’t.

The border crisis is a crisis that we created!!! Seasonal workers used to be able to travel back and forth from the border after the work season ended. However, during the 90s made it illegal to do so in order to appear tougher than the GOP on crime.

I don’t like Trump’s policies, but I would never treat anyone with so much disrespect like did. The world is always watching America and that division makes us look vulnerable. End this red vs blue b.s and actually work together for the people.

I appreciate making curing cancer an important part of his state of the union speech. I know that pain he spoke of and how that family feels when I watched my then 4 year old son begin a 2yr battle vs Leukemia. Now Jaycen is 6 and thriving, thankfully. We must do better.

Running for office shouldn’t have to rely on raising a ton of funds but sadly that is the state of our political system. Our state of the union would improve dramatically if we got rid of dark money corrupting our political system. I take no PAC💰my campaign is people powered

Most politicians want to continue to get large sums of money from wealthy donors and corporations. I believe in a fairer system of small donor public financing so lawmakers are accountable to you the people not their wealthy donors like and others.

Help me beat Buddy Carter the man you crafted a bill to slap a 30% tax on all new goods and services. This is a handout to the wealthy and would ensure the middle and working class pay much more in taxes. My plan would increase the EITC and the CTC and issue monthly payments.

Aww the poor Bank of America CEO got a 6.3% pay cut and yet he still got $30 million. Meanwhile children are going to bed hungry and without a roof over their heads in the richest nation in the world.

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan’s total compensation declined 6.3% to $30 million for his work in 2022, a year in which profit tumbled and the shares sank trib.al/SEaB6UT

Unlike I would never risk crashing the economy for political gain. I’d hold a budget bill hostage in order to get at least a $15 minimum wage for workers, but I’d never refuse to pay our nation’s bills. He is fiscally irresponsible and reckless.

School choice doesn’t work!!! These vouchers are simply a way to destroy public education. Most of the time they are given to families who already send their kids to private schools.
Quote Tweet
AZ fathers were confronted at a religious school receiving taxpayer-funded ESA vouchers, forced off campus & told their child would not have been enrolled had the school known their fathers were gay. It's not "school choice" - it's the school's choice 😡 azcentral.com/story/news/loc

I’m looking for a campaign manager and volunteers to help me with my 2024 campaign. I want to build a coalition of the working-class and voters who have been forgotten about for far too long. If you can help in anyway please email me @ Palimeno4thepeople@gmail.com, or DM me. 🙏

Representatives in Congress mainly focus on policies at the federal level, but GA reps should be pressuring at the state level to expand Medicaid, promote affordable housing, and raising the minimum wage. We can’t do ballot initiatives in GA. I vow to fight back.

I understand what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck. I understand having to rely on assistance because our wages have been stagnant since the 70s. I understand the burden of medical and student debt. Together we the 99% can change things. #GA01

This whole Chinese balloon incident is WAY overinflated. If they wanted to spy on us this a very POOR attempt, they could easily use satellites that have a good chance of going undetected, or hell they could of used google earth 🌍.

In May will release a rule proposal to raise the overtime threshold, this will be the biggest wage increase for the middle class. It will also create jobs as some workers will now have the choice not to work 60hrs a week.

Ask yourself are you tired of living in a country that rewards wealth and not hard work? Are you tired of a police force that’s designed to keep the poor, poor? A healthcare system designed to make the most vulnerable people suffer? We can do so much better.

Awww us poor average white men never get a break 🤣

Marjorie Taylor Greene lamented “there’s not people fighting for regular Americans” such as “the average white male trying to climb the corporate ladder when his problem is being white and male.”

Morality is lost once our society cares more about the cost of a Big Mac than the living conditions of those who make them. Every worker should be able to cover their basic needs with their paycheck. That shouldn’t be controversial.

Holy Fuckin sh*t this is insane!!! The are literally using the courts to make policies. I have never seen a court rehear cases like this and just months after the GOP gained a majority on the bench. #TheRightAreDestroyingDemocracy
Quote Tweet
Get this: North Carolina's Supreme Court struck down two voter suppression cases last year. They just agreed to REHEAR the two voting rights cases they previously decided. This is unprecedented and should alarm anyone who cares about voting rights and democracy.

We could have had an amazing progressive warrior in Congress if ran a clean race. Instead she got a ton of corporate money including donations from Sam Bankman-Fried. would actually fight for workers in America not sell out to big corporations.
