As a member of the Homeland Security Committee + Ranking Member of Subcommittee on Border Security:
I’m not sure how many fellow Democrats will vote to support our colleague @SenMullin as the next DHS Secretary, but I am AYE.
I know that @JoeBiden is ashamed and embarrassed that in the wealthiest country in the history of the world that we don’t have a Medicare For All healthcare system with no copayments, deductibles, premiums, and out of pocket expenses. Let’s do this Joe.

I strongly support the NBA, WNBA and MLB players who are striking for racial justice. Real change takes place when people come together and demand it. It is time for the police who shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back to be fired, arrested and prosecuted. Now.
Sen. Paul is dead wrong. The beauty of the Postal Service is that it doesn't matter if you're a low-income senior living on a dirt road in Kentucky or a wealthy CEO living on Park Avenue—you get your mail delivered 6 days a week at a low cost. We must save, not dismantle, USPS.
Our job now is to do everything we can to save the Postal Service from Trump's attacks, not smear Bernie Sanders for opposing right-wing Republican members to the postal board. (4/4)
These two Republicans wanted to privatize the Postal Service, slash jobs and slow down mail delivery. On day one of Trump’s presidency he had the right to create a Republican majority on the Postal Service board and that is exactly what he has done. (3/4) https://t.co/Xl7R6PNPQR
Along with the American Postal Workers Union, the AFL-CIO and the NAACP, Senator Sanders did everything he could to stop two extreme right-wing Republicans from being appointed to the Postal Service’s Board of Governors. (2/4)
It is a total lie and a distortion of reality to keep asserting that Bernie Sanders, one of the strongest defenders of the U.S. Postal Service in Congress, enabled Trump’s efforts to destroy the Postal Service. (1/4)
People can be angry and upset over his recent decisions but make no mistake about it—@BernieSanders has paved the way for progressives to start winning elections against entrenched incumbents—running on issues that the corp media has propagandized were unpopular.
.@JamaalBowmanNY DID NOT COME TO PLAY:
"Bernie, if the Democratic establishment didn't gang up on you and jump you, you would have been the nominee for the Democratic Party.
You out-raised everyone.
They had to jump you in order to beat you. So I just want to say that."
Headlines said I was the most vulnerable member of the Squad.
My community responded last night and said our Squad is big. It includes all who believe we must show up for each other and prioritize people over profits. It’s here to stay, and it’s only getting bigger.
You can't wipe the smile off my face. Because of all of you, this was possible. ⬇️
Tomorrow, I am going to get enough votes to pass an amendment that will get $22.5 billion in infrastructure dollars to replace lead infested pipes. We all deserve clean water.
Calling for leaders w/proven civil & human rights records, SC’s Clyburn endorsed Engel as “not new to the fight for justice & equality. I have worked with him on these issues for almost 3 decades.” Inadequate vision & results have millions marching 4 change. Vote @JamaalBowmanNY
