Total student loan debt: $1.7 trillion
Total cost of the Fed's short-term bank funding: $1.5 trillion
America has socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
Republican are talking about bailing out the airlines and oil companies. How about a bail-out for middle-class and poor folks who can’t pay their medical bills? 🥺
Choose to fight only righteous fights, because then when things get tough—and they will—you will know that there is only one option ahead of you: Nevertheless, you must persist.
So let's imagine @StephenAtHome is a billionaire, and that plate of ribs represents all of his money. It would just take a teeny tiny corner to pay for universal child care—and more!
Elizabeth Warren has now moved into second place in California. That’s you. That’s me. That’s us. Don’t shut up. Don’t sit down. She is the change we need. Let’s put that woman in the White House and make history and begin to heal this nation. @ewarren
As the president's impeachment trial began, Republican senators pledged an oath to defend the Constitution.
Today, 52 of them voted to betray that oath—and all of us.
We’re entering dangerous territory for our democracy. It’ll take all of us working together to restore it.
Trump's budget is one of his cruelest proposals yet. It would:
— Cut $850,000,000,000 from Medicare
— Cut $270,000,000,000 from Medicaid
— Cut $30,000,000,000 from Social Security
Swing voters, if you're listening: Take note of where Trump's priorities lie.
Trump accusing Sanders of being too pro-Moscow is almost as amazing as Trump accusing Biden of over-promoting under-talented sons. Next he'll attack one of the women candidates for wearing too much makeup and too tight a girdle.
History will not be kind to Donald Trump.
Because truth matters. Right matters. And decency matters.
It may be midnight in Washington, but the sun will rise again.
I put my faith in the optimism of our Founders.
You should too.
I'll support and work for any Democrat who wins the nomination, but I'm pulling for Elizabeth Warren. I'd love to see her open a large can of whup-ass on Trump in the debates.
Something I don’t care about in a year Donald Trump is on the ballot: who is right in the endless recriminations between Sanders and Clinton supporters. Just knock it off, people, and keep your eyes on the prize.
It would be a shame if this video that exposes Mitch McConnell got tons of retweets and moved from 890,000 views to 1 Million views by tomorrow. https://t.co/i088RH2aCG
With their votes to make the American president accountable to no one, Republican senators have put the interests of one president over the interests of all Americans.
The only remedy now is for us all to vote in overwhelming numbers to replace them—and him—in November.
The way Kamala Harris is getting Chief Justice Roberts to read Trump's own incriminating words against him out loud by including them in her questions and discussing Lev Parnas is brilliant.
Woohoo! Passed my first bill of 2020.
221 YES votes ✊

I thought everyone wanted my authentic, unvarnished views!
But to be serious, the number one priority for our country and world is retiring Trump, and, as I always have, I will do whatever I can to support our nominee.
Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That’s not a question.
The question is this - as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?
I say this without rancor. Even with empathy. This person is suffering some kind of neurological impairment. Whatever your politics, however opposed or supportive you may be, this shows a man needing serious medical evaluation & should not be in power.
