Joe Biden: "There has never been a President in American history who has been so openly racist and divisive as this man."

I’m at @TuesdaysToomey because families belong together—because the time to answer “what would I have done” in the face of inhumanity is right now.

The Trump administration is in court trying to take health care away from millions of families and end protections for pre-existing conditions. They’re continuing their quest to sabotage the health care of people across the nation— we can’t stand by. https://t.co/DsP9S0VCF3

[AFSCME @AFSCME]

We stand with you @SenSchumer and @SpeakerPelosi. We can not let millions of Americans have their health care taken away.

[AFSCME @AFSCME]

Health care is a right and not a privilege. It’s time to protect and expand that right for everyone. #whatyouwilllose #healthcaresabotage #handsoffmyhealthcare https://t.co/gSqCnZMg1s

It’s already hard enough for working families to make ends meet, let alone afford the extraordinary cost of quality child care. @SenWarren and @RepDebHaaland's #UniversalChildCare plan provides much-needed relief to millions of hardworking families. https://t.co/OVAcTXbVYf

June 10th marks the 56th anniversary of the passage of the #EqualPayAct. More than half a century later, the gender wage gap persists.

Good news for Delaware state employees! Governor John Carney has signed into law a bill that protects public sector unions and allows some 2,000 additional state workers to negotiate for higher wages. https://t.co/S9FY5UTvBh

[Fight For 15 PA @FightFor15PA]

Race-to-the-bottom companies like @McDonalds have ignored our basic demands for too long. We need $15 and union rights. #Fightfor15

[AFSCME @AFSCME]

Nobody knows the scope of the problem of mental illness and substance use disorder better than the men and women who serve as behavioral health professionals in communities across the country. https://t.co/qjuGQNi27I

In 2016, @MDLZ outsourced 600 #Nabisco jobs to Mexico & paid workers as low as 97¢/hr.

In 2017, CEO @Dirkvandeput took a $42M pay package.

In 2018, shareholders rejected CEO pay & MDLZ then eliminated worker pensions.

That's not just low, that's #OreoLow. Clean it up! #1u

At a press conference for PCAR and PCADV Legislative Advocacy Day, I stood with advocates to make clear abusing women and children will not be tolerated in Pennsylvania. That's not the way its going to be any longer!
