A new study confirms that Medicare for All would save 114,000 lives every year and reduce overall healthcare spending by more than $1 trillion annually.
Do not tell me we cannot afford Medicare for All.
What we cannot afford is a broken healthcare system based on greed.
Let us learn to be rich in a different way: more attentive to relationships, more intent on valuing the common good, more attached to the local area, more grateful in welcoming and integrating those who come to live with us.
A two-cent wealth tax on ultra-millionaires would:
Deliver universal child care,
Build millions of homes,
Expand Medicare,
Provide paid family leave,
Fund tuition-free public college,
and so, so much more.
If prices continue to rise for urea fertilizer, then farmers in poor countries won't be able to use it, crop yields will plummet and kids will starve -- all because of an unnecessary war in the Gulf.
Let’s be clear: Republicans have voted against Democrats’ proposals to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and the Coast Guard 14 times.
They control the Senate, the House and the White House—and have had every opportunity to end the pain of this shutdown.
Instead, they chose to punish thousands of hardworking Americans—and the travelling public—for weeks for the sins of Trump’s lawless agents. That is unconscionable.
Moving forward, Democrats will not stop pushing until we deliver the ICE and Border Patrol reforms that the American people deserve.
The wars that stain the present moment with blood are the fruit of the idolatry of power and money. Let us not grow accustomed to the clamor of weapons and images of war! #Peace is not merely a balance of power. It is the work of purified hearts, of those who see others as brothers and sisters to be protected, not enemies to be defeated. #ApostolicJourney https://t.co/WeRUclJHqq
There is growing evidence that the Russians continue to provide the Iranian regime with intelligence support. This is clearly destructive activity, and it must be stopped, as it only leads to further destabilization. All decent states are interested in guaranteeing security and preventing a larger crisis. Markets are already reacting negatively, and this is significantly complicating the fuel situation in many countries.
By helping the Iranian regime stay afloat and strike more accurately, Russia is effectively prolonging the war. There must be a response.
This is how these two big Golden Retrievers and their tiny black-and-white cat sleep every night. They cram into one little blue bed in the laundry room, cat claiming the middle like it’s her throne while the gentle giants carefully make room.
