"Private equity is turning what was once an affordable public good into a profit-extraction machine."
@CapitolKVD testifies before House Committee on Education and the Workforce on how private equity is gutting youth sports👇
The US and the rest of the international community have stayed largely silent on the crisis in Sudan. That silence must end now. Sign @ONEinAmerica's petition demanding Congress and the admin to speak up for Sudan. https://t.co/to7cZ40N9Z
Trump, like all authoritarians, doesn’t like criticism or objective reporting. He just wants to be flattered. That’s why he wants to defund NPR and PBS.
If democracy is to survive we need a strong, independent media.
I will vote to support public broadcasting.
Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, “Mark, keep speaking up, you’re our conscience.”
I don’t want to be their damn conscience.
I want them to vote their conscience.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, the needy to be called “parasites,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.
Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?

@RepJeffries “Sikhism is a vibrant and progressive religion that emphasizes devotion, service, and social justice. Sikhs are known for their commitment to their faith and their strong sense of community.” May more people embrace such values!
Good morning.
If the Republican budget bill passes:
- 40% of the country will lose money
- 15 million people will lose their health care
- the richest families will get a $270,000 tax cut
- the debt will go up 2.4 TRILLION dollars
Who is asking for that??
Last year, @Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products.
Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month.
This is corporate greed at its worst.
The White House wants to cut foreign assistance programs even though they saves lives, cost less than 1% of the budget, and make the world (and us) safer. Join me by urging Congress to reject this proposal. @ONEinAmerica https://t.co/T7b7jIUQ4m
