The American people definitely don't want undocumented immigrants who are convicted felons staying here. That's not close. And neither is ending birthright citizenship - 2/3 of Americans don't want that position. The real battleground is between those two radical positions.
I hope *you're* happy that you supported a genocidal, geriatric candidate instead of pushing for an open primary and/or a third party vote.
You are a genocide enabler of such low moral integrity that you'll only mention Palestinian suffering to manufacture consent for a candidate without whom there would have been no genocide.
Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.
Today, I introduced legislation with Sen. Hawley to do just that.
We cannot continue to allow big banks to rip-off Americans by charging outrageously high credit card interest rates of 25 or 30%.

How do you Make America Healthy Again if 1 out of 4 people in this country cannot afford the medication that their doctors prescribe?
This country will not be healthy until we guarantee health care as a human right to every man, woman and child who lives here.
Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason:
They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.
These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.
Not bad in a couple of months’ time!
The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.
If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.
By illegally neutering the National Labor Relations Board, Trump has enabled Jeff Bezos, the 2nd wealthiest man alive, to ignore the union victory at Whole Foods in Philadelphia.
Trump has given the green light to corporations to violate labor law with impunity. Unacceptable.
The Democratic Party ran a historically unpopular president that had to drop out four months before the election with the threat of Trump looming.
We should all be holding the party accountable. They did that, not the progressive left.
Neoliberalism is done. It’s either progressive populism — supporting single-payer healthcare, tuition-free college and trade schools, and raising the minimum wage — or watch the GOP continue to win long-term.
Your move, Democratic Party.
This is the talk I had with @charliekirk11 at #AMFEST2024 that apparently lit the internet on fire. I thought it was a simple first step to starting a dialogue without either side giving in on policy they believe in. The online left seems to think it was heresy. You decide.
Bernie Sanders has said:
You want to talk about government efficiency? We waste hundreds of billions a year on health care administrative expenses that make insurance CEOs and wealthy stockholders incredibly rich.
I'm honored to be elected as the new Chair of @USProgressives!
Building on @RepJayapal's legacy, we’re making sure the Democrats fight back against the billionaires, special interests, and Republican frauds in Congress.
@elonmusk The military industrial complex budget is roughly equal to the amount we put on the national debt each year. We can not control the debt without severe cut backs in spending for bombs and bullets.
If the Democratic Party is to become a democratic party, the first job of a new DNC Chair is to get super-PAC money out of Democratic primaries.
AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super-PACS cannot be allowed to select Democratic candidates.
Former Israeli Defense Minister Yaalon is right.
Netanyahu's government is committing war crimes & ethnic cleansing in Gaza. You don't fight terrorism by starving people & killing tens of thousands of civilians.
I hope more Israeli military leaders will join him in speaking up.
