Why is the union teachers secretary in the group.

[@sergiomiranda1497]

Good question.

[@ChaimGoldstein-ty6cn]

I'm UNimpressed by Sen. Markey's press conference. Why didn't they issue a WARRANT for his ARREST ("contempt of congress", "failing to respond to a subpena"????????spare me the WORDS I want ACTION!!

[@glenncooper87]

Does that go for Merrick garland too for denying a legal congressional subpoena?

[@kimberlyquinlan6788]

I'm not sure they have the legal basis to arrest him.

[@mynameisnobodysometimeseve7653]

​@@kimberlyquinlan6788they would arrest you for not showing up. It is a crime to ignore any subpoena.

[@glenncooper87]

@@kimberlyquinlan6788 they have it's the same offence as Bannon and nevaro both sentenced to prison for ignoring a congressional subpoena the law should apply equally to garland

@@mynameisnobodysometimeseve7653 wow. The double standard for rich people is really getting old. I'm glad this Steward thing is getting national attention.

[@kimberlyquinlan6788]

We need laws against corporate greed. Now. Should be on the agenda for the next democratic administration.

[@mynameisnobodysometimeseve7653]

Sure😂😂😂😂 corporations are at this point almost untouchable. Almost!!! One company just dropped 15000 workers, here in America, got billions to invest in CHINA from our very own govt., is using slave labor, bumped up the CEO wage to 17 million and became very agitated when questioned about this. It's time to hold this political wheel accountable!!$

[@toneionson6064]

why isn’t torre in prison ? forget contempt . is this a case of premeditated murder, manslaughter, malpractice? a list of charges is growing here, what a crime this isn’t right.

[@bzh7648]

Didn’t Trump reduce regulations for corporations? I could be wrong, but regulations protect us from predatory corporations

[@mazen.ghamdi]

Good

[@charliebrown5611]

Markey is at least one of the straight shooters. Tonko is too.

[@toneionson6064]

Hope and relief for American working families: Greedy Trump/GOP 2017 tax cuts for the rich that stole $$$ from our wallets and inflated the deficit by trillions will expire in 2025. Dump Trump/Greedy GOP. Vote for Freedom not Fascism in the USA. Vote Sky!
