@CNN Exactly what people keep saying " Different strokes for different folks" If you can't honestly say that race doesn't play a part YOU are the problem and the reason why things in this country will never change. It's not always about RACE so they say you do the math.
@DavidReichner@Newsweek There have always been horrors going on in Afghanistan. For 20 years. Those who voted for Biden (or any president before) are not in direct control of what goes on there. Hello, the fault lies on the Taliban?? Absolutely ridiculous statement…
Now that the House has passed John Lewis’ namesake legislation, the Senate must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, making it the law of the land and protecting voters across the country.
81% of Democrats, 66% of Independents, and 57% of Republicans all agree with what you and I know to be true — it's time to tax the ultra-rich in this country.
Let me tell you. People are sick and tired of seeing day after day, the rich getting richer while everyone else struggles just to keep their heads above water. People want action. And that's exactly what we're going to give them with this budget reconciliation legislation.
@BernieSanders Not just older American, Millennial like myself as well. I was quoted more than 2000 dollars for wisdom teeth to be pulled. I simply cannot afford to do it despite having insurance. It’s ridiculous. #CancelStudentDebt#MedicareForAll
More than half of older Americans say they've avoided going to the dentist because of the cost, while 1 in 5 Americans over the age of 65 have untreated cavities, and 2 in 3 have gum disease. This is not a reality I believe we should accept in the richest country on the planet.
If you paid $120 for a pair of Nike Air Force 1 shoes, you paid more to Nike than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years, while it made $4.1 billion in profits and Nike's founder, Phil Knight, became over $23 billion richer. Yes. We must #TaxTheRich.
The time is long overdue for us to address the crisis of income and wealth inequality in our country, and strong, organized worker power is crucial in that fight. I am proud to stand in strong solidarity with Amazon workers in Alabama in their struggle to form a union.
When I speak with Amazon workers in Alabama today, my message to Jeff Bezos will be pretty simple. "Jeff, you're worth $182 billion. That's a lot of money. What is your problem with allowing workers in Alabama to organize for better wages and better working conditions?"
My father knew that to bring about equality, African Americans must have the right to vote. To counter voter suppression, my mother, father, John Lewis, and countless others organized, marched, and taught the tactics of nonviolence.

People who stood by Donald Trump for the last four years are now claiming to be offended that a Democratic campaign manager used a curse word? I don't think so.
Eight years ago today, the lives of 20 children & 6 adults were lost to senseless violence. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. Today, we remember the lives lost, we stand in solidarity & love with their families, we promise to end the evil of gun violence in our nation.
