THE Squad - Why they will shape the future

Published: July 17, 2019, 2 p.m.

The Heartland Mamas, Heidi Henry, former state senate candidate and Murri Briel, former candidate for US House, discuss The Squad -Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and why they and all the freshmen in the 2018 class are the future of the nation.

We are living in the beginning of a dystopian nightmare. The racism of this administration and  the Republican party can no longer be denied. The Republican party is the party of privileged entitlement. 

Old School vs Freshman 

*It’s about the money. The Squad and freshman class have outraised many old school politicians. More interesting is that the new class has taken less than 10% of all their fundraising from PACs. This makes the voice of the people that much more important in policy. That also terrifies old school politicians.


*Living in the beltway bubble. Old school politicians like Nancy Pelosi understand the importance of compromise but are living in a world that no longer exists. When the rules of our government are discarded as done by this administration, something needs to change.
