    Don’t call it a comeback. I’ve been here for years. And my war against the Democratic Party’s unacceptable corruption is just beginning.

    Why are policymakers in a position to personally profit from taxpayer-funded government support programs for employers?

    We did it!! For 30+ yrs, Pelosi’s corporate fundraising machine protected her from a Democratic challenger. Tonight, WE changed that. In November, the Speaker will face a serious challenge from a campaign that’s already raised over $540,000 from more than 13,000 donors.

    I’m grateful to have emerged from our CA-12 jungle primary as Pelosi’s first general election challenger from within the Democratic Party in her 30 year career—which I have every intention of ending on behalf of We the #PeopleVsPelosi.
    When I was 16, my family lost our home to foreclosure. This forced me into housing insecurity for years. We all know that Nancy's free market has only worked well for a few at the top. Our generation can make housing a human right. Vote Shahid Buttar for Congress today!

    Looks like Engel, who was famously absent from own district as the COVID crisis unfolded, won't be compelled to visit at all going forward. 😋 So excited my mom got a chance to vote for Bowman today .

    It’s almost as if the two corporate political parties pursue the same authoritarian agenda.

    MUST WATCH VIDEO of Jon Stewart calling out @SpeakerPelosi for engaging in the EXACT same corruption that Republicans do. It’s time for Americans to wake up to the reality that both parties are putting corporations over people. It’s time @4aPeoplesParty. x.com/gcitizen4/stat…

    Nancy Pelosi stands in the way of progress, and has done so for decades. That’s why #PelosiMustGo. My name is Shahid Buttar, and I approve this message.

    We’re posting this without comment and eagerly invite any reactions.
    Speaker Pelosi: "I have complete respect for the whole #MeToo movement...there's also due process...Joe Biden is Joe Biden...There was never any record...I am so proud, the happiest day for me this week was to support Joe Biden for president of the United States."

    I'm a muslim immigrant, human rights lawyer, and dem socialist running to replace Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi will never support a Pres. Sanders's agenda. She is out of touch with SF & needs to go. Help me get to 45k followers, so I can grow our campaign & win. RT, like, comment!
