I've gotten to know @ninaturner over the last five years. She deeply cares for working families and she has the heart to be an effective, unwavering fighter for them in Congress. I am proud to endorse her candidacy.
Wages subsidized by the government during pandemic:
🇨🇦 – $2,000 a month
🇯🇵 – Up to 100%
🇳🇴 – Up to 90%
🇩🇪 – Up to 87%
🇫🇷 – Up to 84%
🇬🇧 – Up to 80%
🇮🇹 – Up to 80%
🇺🇸 – 0.0%
That is an international embarrassment. The working class needs our help NOW!
Half of our people live paycheck to paycheck, 500,000 are homeless, 92 million are uninsured or underinsured and millions struggle with oppressive student debt. A new Congress, on day one, must address the enormous economic suffering facing working families.
The year 2020 has been very difficult for mental health. The pandemic, isolation and economic downturn has greatly increased depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. When we talk about real health care reform, we mean a major expansion of mental health services.
All workers are entitled to decent wages and working conditions, which is why I stand with the Amazon warehouse workers in Alabama exercising their constitutional right to form a union. Mr. Bezos, the wealthiest person in America, must not interfere in this election.
It is beyond pathetic for a sitting president to try to subvert the results of an election. It is even worse when the Republican Party, with few exceptions, remains silent over this outrageous attack on democracy. The GOP has ceased to be a political party. It is now a cult.
In 2016, when Trump won PA, MI, and WI by a handful of votes, the election system worked just great. Now that he's losing, it's a "fraud" and they're "stealing the election." This is how demagogues destroy faith in democracy and move us toward authoritarianism. Count every vote!
If Trump ends up winning the 2020 Presidential election — The entire Democratic Party leadership needs to resign! An election this close is unacceptable to a MORON LIKE DONALD TRUMP!!
Does anybody care? Half of our people live paycheck to paycheck, and millions face hunger, eviction and lack of health care. If McConnell won't do it, we will. The first job of a new Democratic Senate will be passing a major coronavirus stimulus bill protecting working families.
