You know what’s happening. You know you don’t want it for you. I want to know why you’re so willing to accept it or allow it to happen to others. #blacklivesmatter
Why is pharma suing to stop President Biden from lowering prescription drug prices? Follow the money.
Januvia, Merck's diabetes drug, costs $547 in the US but just $16 in France.
Eliquis, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s blood clot drug, costs $561 in the US but just $63 in Germany.
When the Founders wrote the Second Amendment, the largest guns they had were muskets.
The modern bullet had not yet been invented.
They could only shoot one bullet at a time.
Today’s assault weapon would be like the power of a cannon to them.
The Second Amendment is NOT a legitimate reason not to ban assault weapons.
Ban them now.

This isn't about "life." It's about control.
In the 1950s, when I was a child, CEOs made about 20x more than the average worker.
In the 1980s when I was mayor of Burlington, CEOs made 42x more.
In 2000, when I was in the House, CEOs made about 120x more.
Today, they're making almost 400x more.
Unacceptable.
The top 15 hedge fund managers on Wall Street make more money in a single year than every kindergarten teacher in America combined — over 120,000 teachers.
CEO pay is out of control. Just look at Amazon.
The company’s chief executive made $212.7 million in compensation in 2021 while the typical worker received $32,855.
That's a ratio of 6,474 to 1.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
14 months ago I had to evacuate from Oxford High Schol when a fifteen year old opened fire and killed four of my classmates and injured seven more.
Tonight, I am sitting under my desk at Michigan State Univeristy, once again texting everyone “I love you”
When will this end?
