Phenomenal news!!
Back of Russell Vought’s head as he sits in a suit in an orange chair in the senate budget committee hearing
Field trip this morning to the Senate to see Russell Vought, secret President, who shuttered CFPB and tried and failed to kill the Consumer Bureau.

Thank you!
"The open courting of Big Tech and Big Finance by Dem leadership has always been sold as savvy. But after a series of bruising election losses and open hostility from the industries they once hoped to court, the strategy has done little but make the Democrats look more like impressionable rubes."
It’s been a strategic disaster for parts of the Democratic Party to embrace anti-democratic big tech bros. It’s also been a humiliating self-own.
My new piece for @newrepublic.com:
newrepublic.com/article/2087...
WATCH: Rep. Jayapal grills OMB Director Russell Vought on his dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
"Why are you protecting big corporations instead of consumers?"
A degree in computer science and seven years of experience working as a computer programmer on Wall Street in the years leading up to the financial crisis has left her "stridently opposed" to the construction of data centers, she said. The frenzy around artificial intelligence and amount of debt being used to construct the centers reminds her of the atmosphere around the time of the 2008 crisis, she said. She said she's concerned about a possible financial crisis brought on by the bursting of a bubble built around the development of Al. When the bubble bursts, it will have a major impact on the economy, she said. "I see it as this debt mountain that will eventually come due," she said.
It was great to speak with the Frederick News Post about my run for Congress in #MD06!
My degree in computer science + 7 years of experience working on Wall Street prior to the 2008 crisis has left me stridently opposed to the construction of AI data centers.

Sign me up for Hot Human Summer to deactivate the chatbots that don’t help anyway and stop the data centers no one wants.
And always yes to dancing!
Thank you!!
When DOGE came to CFPB after shutting down USAID I immediately questioned them, their credentials, and if they had the training to access our sensitive data.
I was fired for it.
Now, I’m running for Congress, and I’m committed to investigating the damage DOGE did. Learn more at: ElectAlexis.org
Obsessed.
Also, keen listeners will note that the song is a remix of The Hanging Tree from the Hunger Games. *chef's kiss*
The Community Trust Act does two things:
1. Requires a judicial warrant to detain someone for ICE or to prolong detention for transfer to ICE.
2. Stops police and jail staff from proactively notifying ICE or facilitating civil immigration arrests.

This is such phenomenal news! 🎉Congratulations to the coalition that has been tirelessly pushing the Community Trust Act, which includes @acluofmaryland.bsky.social, @wearecasa.bsky.social, and so many individuals contacting their MD reps every day till this got done.
The students protesting the war in Iran are asking "Why is the media not covering our campus protests?" and I think I figured it out — the media is too busy writing thinkpieces on "Where are the campus protests?" to actually cover the campus protests.
Democrats needs to be heading to DC tonight and gather in Congress to move for impeachment even if Congress led by Republican bootlickers is “on recess.”
Schumer/Jeffries should be issuing calls for Dems to get back in DC now while have their leadership staffers prep impeachment resolutions now.
CNN Politics article from July 2024: “‘as our nation celebrates its Indegendence Day, each of us are reminded that we resigned from government not to terminate that oath but to continue to abide by it; not to end our commitment to service, but to extend it.’ ‘The [Biden] Administration's policy in Gaza is a failure and a threat to U.S. national security,’ they write in the joint statement, titled "Service in Dissent." "America's diplomatic cover for, and continuous flow of arms to, Israel has ensured our undeniable complicity in the killings and forced starvation of a besieged Palestinian population in Gaza. This is not only morally reprehensible and in clear violation of international humanitarian law and U.S. laws,
During the Biden admin, 12 officials publicly resigned over the catastrophic failure in Gaza, inclu. @habash.bsky.social @lilygreenbergcall.bsky.social
They used their best leverage & biggest mic to try to get Biden to stop arming a genocide.
Their words are prescient:

We cannot fix what’s wrong without examining the conditions that allowed Trumpism to emerge and thrive.
We have to be honest that the Biden administration’s “no red line on Israel” policy is a part of what led us to today.
every single democrat could write their own articles of impeachment and demand a privileged vote and gum up all of congress with impeachment articles from here til eternity but are too busy worrying about how they're going to bring home "wins" (pork) for their district
Trump advisers think the age of imperialism ended because of wokeness, not because 1) colonized peoples made colonialism untenable 2) technology made territorial empire unnecessary. They thought mere brutality and perceived genetic superiority would make wars against countries like Iran easy.
1. Throughout history, leaders have committed acts of civil disobedience to challenge unjust laws.
Add Samantha Boucher to that list.
Boucher walked into the Kansas Statehouse bathroom in front of police, deliberately violating one of the most extreme anti-trans law in the country.
