I took off from Honolulu at 10pm last night and landed in DC around 13 hours later. Made the trek back to vote on emergency funding for our small businesses - the real ones, who need help the most! Senate passed it today, the House will vote on Thursday. Be safe, everyone!
Today we suffer from a lack of healthcare resources and infrastructure because yesterday we gave warmongers a blank check for regime change wars. And if we don't learn our lesson, tomorrow we will ...
Another day has gone by and no aid bill passed. Stop the partisanship, finger-pointing, and games. People are struggling & suffering. There's no time to waste. Pass a clean bill that sends support directly to every American and to our small businesses. Now. #CoronavirusLockdown

As we watch our healthcare system crumble around us, endangering the lives and wellbeing of all of us, perhaps now the core message of my presidential campaign will be better understood. We need to invest the trillions of dollars that we have been wasting on the ...
With #COVIDー19 spreading throughout our communities, it has never been more important to address the homelessness crisis in America.
My bill includes $200B+ for housing & supportive services & recognizes a fundamental truth: Housing is a human right.

I’m continuing to run for the same reason I originally began this race: to bring about a sea change in our longstanding foreign policy of carrying out regime change wars, end the new cold war & nuclear arms race, and invest the trillions wasted in such wars into the American ppl.
As a soldier of 17 years who served two tours of duty in the Middle East, I know the cost of war and the importance of taking care of our service men and women. When I’m president, every veteran who walks into a VA clinic will find a red carpet and 5-star customer service.
Every American deserves access to affordable healthcare.
I will make sure they get it — without destroying our current system and kicking 155 million people off their insurance.
It is crucial that we work internationally to develop a comprehensive public health strategy to combat the coronavirus. We also need to ensure the CDC and other health agencies have the resources they need to fight this outbreak.

Think about the cruelty of our health care system.
Someone is diagnosed with cancer. They are fighting for their lives. Then they get a $100,000 bill.
And in the midst of all of this, health care companies make $100 billion in profit a year.
That has got to change.
If I’d been on the debate, I’d have brought up 2 extremely important issues which @DNC/@MSNBC & other candidates failed to address. #1) Coronavirus: a huge health & economic threat to our country/world. #2) Critical time-sensitive foreign policy crises on the verge of erupting.
Russia is attacking our democracy again and instead of doing everything he can to stop it, Donald Trump is retaliating against our intelligence officials for doing their jobs. This must stop.

Every child in America deserves access to quality education. That should be true regardless of your race, ethnicity, wealth, or zip code.
I’ve introduced legislation to help students & adults get the education they need to have a fair shot at the American dream.
I’ve been a soldier for 17 years & deployed twice to the Middle East. As president, I will focus our military on national security threats we face & work to end the new cold war & regime change wars which have not made us any safer & waste precious resources. #StandWithTulsi
I just had a chance to look at Wednesday night’s debate. It reminded me of a @ufc cage fight. But they come across not quite as authentic or honest as the martial artists. And UFC fights aren’t rigged.
Did you know that student debt disproportionately impacts Black students & is tied to our history of racial discrimination? Black students owe $7,400 more on average than other students. Eliminating college debt wd address the racial wealth gap and more.

This is a national crisis.
More veterans have died by suicide the last 10 years than during the entire Vietnam War. Almost 70% of them did not receive healthcare services from the VA before their death.
