The stage was set up like Mitchell's California living room, where the recovering singer has been hosting "Joni Jams" with fellow musicians for the past few years https://t.co/THN0yXXGIi
Bernie Sanders votes no on final vote for NDAA veto override.
Neither the house bill for $2000 checks nor Mitch McConnell's bill that included $2000 checks were brought to a vote.
Republicans think I don’t do much for them, but I’m trying to bring Mitch McConnell’s bill to the floor! All I ask is we also vote on the House-passed bill for $2,000 survival checks.
It’s hard for me to understand why Republicans would object to voting on a Republican bill.
Today, I will ask that the Senate vote yes or no on two bills:
1. The House passed $2,000 survival checks
2. Mitch McConnell’s alternative bill
What objection could he possibly have to voting on his own bill? Let the Senate vote on $2,000 checks, Mitch!
I’m delighted that Mitch McConnell suddenly decided to care about “socialism for the rich”! That means the huge tax breaks for billionaires that he helped pass—not the $2,000 direct payments that America’s struggling working-class families desperately need.
🌹🔥💞 Having Rep. Khanna replace Sen. Kamala Harris for California's Senate seat would be ideal. Bernie Sanders won the CA primary handily, and CA progressives will remember whether or not you picked progressive person of color, Ro Khanna for this seat! @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom
One thing I’ll say: for the last two years, I and progressive candidates have been unseating powerful Dem incumbents supported by DCCC.
Not *once* has anyone in the party asked me what weaknesses I’ve found in their operation.
If they stop blaming progressives, we can help.
I saw party consultants take over a Congressional swing campaign operation this year and was it wasn’t good.
The blind impulse to blame activists and the left both demoralizes a key constituency and distracts from asking real Qs & fixing serious operational issues.
Bernie Sanders has done more to advance socialism & humanism than any American in the past century.
What hamstrung his campaign?
He confronted—and with us, nearly overcame—the full weight of the party establishment combined with nearly limitless corporate media propaganda.
Maybe—just maybe—the most essential people in our economy are not hedge fund managers.
Could it be that they are doctors, nurses, EMTs, grocery store workers, workers in drug stores, farm workers, and truck drivers?
Let us begin to rethink some of our priorities.
Biden should adopt Bernie’s climate plan, but it will be an interesting pivot since during the debates Biden argued that “not a single solitary scientist thinks it can work.”
Winning Bernie supporters is going to take a policy pivot and some acknowledgment of the gaslighting.
Incredibly honored & humbled to have worked with @RepRashida's office to develop this proposal to #MintTheCoin and use it to provide universal (and yes, we mean universal) emergency relief pre-paid US debit cards to every person in America.
