On Tuesday, she plans to introduce a bill in the House of Representatives urging the US to end the political and economic dominance of billionaire oligarchs, halt the corporate subsidies and tax advantages that fortify their power and reinvest in the American people to defend democracy from authoritarianism.

The legislation is supported by Our Revolution, a political organisation that spun out of the senator Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential run, which is launching a “Defund the Oligarchy” campaign with research showing that individuals and corporations who funded Trump’s election received a staggering return on their investment.

She's going to "accidentally" fall out of a window and even if she doesn't the rich are protected by an army of lawyers and the orange pedo also the bill won't pass because the Republicans won't allow it and the Democrats are there just to say that they "tried" and were present (were most likely napping).
