Happy Veterans Day! Our veterans deserve more than words.
They deserve affordable healthcare, housing, hot meals, strong benefits & to age with dignity.
Democrats will use our majority to center their humanity, honor their sacrifices, & undo the policy harm of the past 2 years.
On Veterans Day and every day we’re grateful to our those who have raised their hand to protect our freedom & democracy.
We must never lose sight of our responsibility to turn that gratitude into action to deliver & improve the support & care our veterans have earned.
The conversations about Medicare for all are always disingenuous asf.
We spend hundreds of billions of dollars annually on our military, fund wars abroad, and provide billions in military assistance to foreign governments, including Israel, which has its own universal healthcare system.
Yet somehow, when the conversation shifts to ensuring that Americans have access to affordable healthcare and basic necessities, the immediate response is, “Where are we going to find the money?”
If we’re going to have a serious conversation about government spending, then let’s have that conversation consistently, rather than treating healthcare as an unaffordable luxury and military spending as an unquestionable necessity.
Senator @ChrisVanHollen was early to call out Israel and Netanyahu for withholding food and aid to the people of Gaza.
This is why we support Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader.
I hope @ChrisVanHollen sees all the love he's getting.
He came to Michigan to campaign for @AbdulElSayed in the primary, against many in his own party. That's the vision and leadership we want in the Senate.
Make him the Majority Leader.
I strongly encourage everyone to engage with their elected officials.
It is important to note that when you call in you are speaking to interns.
We appreciate your advocacy . Please be kind.
Liberal groups are organizing against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, whom progressives criticize as too close with corporate donors, too supportive of Israel and too weak to effectively oppose President Trump. https://t.co/lDpH1u22wz
EL-SAYED: Can you imagine being Hegseth right now? Why are you still in your job? *Looks into camera* You are really bad at this. Just resign. Take it from me, you're not good at this.
Bernie Sanders:
It's easier to talk about personalities. Is AOC going to run for president? Well, you can write 50 articles on that.
But what about writing an article about why we're the only major country on Earth not to guarantee health care to all people?
What about writing an article about whether it's appropriate that one guy owns more wealth than the bottom half of American households?
Let's talk about the important issues.
Progressive Black Women are the backbone of the Democratic party. It's time we make one of our fighters Speaker of the House.
Madam Speaker Ayanna Pressley ✊🏾
AOC on Trump Veto Threats: We’re within striking distance of veto overrides. So we can do it the nice way, or we can do it the hard way. I do think that this president does not want to be seen as impotent for the next two years.
