Cutting off Canadian & Mexican access to American-made masks & respirators would be disastrous—including for Americans. From Canada alone, the United States sourced 22 % of its imports of hand sanitizer, worth $335 million, in 2019. https://t.co/kYvrpZypIe

As recommended in America the Fair, an expansion of Social Security, for everyone, is smart politics. No surprise it's coming from the smartest politician.

Warren's plan to increase Social Security has some surprising supporters: Republican voters. https://t.co/71So05ZyR2
