Chief of Staff, @SenMarkey Believer in Patriotism. Big @ColemanWalsh13, @DevalPatrick & #GreenNewDeal fan. Retweets, not endorsements. Opinions, my own.
GOP presidential candidates may not believe climate change is an existential threat, but they know the Green New Deal is an existential threat to their Big Oil-backers’ bottom line.
NEW: Every time Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, or Elon Musk take a trip on their private jet, you’re subsidizing it.
Private jets make up one in six flights. But they contribute just 2% of the taxes to fund airports—while we pay 70%.
It’s time to end that billionaire tax break.
👋🏾 My name is Angela Alsobrooks and I'm running to represent Maryland in the U.S. Senate. I have 5,626 followers. Can you retweet this and help me get to 5,800 before the weekend is up?
250 years ago, early revolutionaries planned the Boston Tea Party at the Old South Meeting House. Today, we’re celebrating $480,000 in federal funds to preserve this important piece of our nation’s history. https://t.co/ePwlHbwzkX.
THIS IS BIG: If signed into law, free universal school meals will literally change lives, full stop. No child in Massachusetts will ever have to wonder how to get through the school day on an empty stomach.

I am grateful for the time I spent at the @NAACP national convention this weekend—an opportunity to recommit to the fight for racial justice in America. And a chance to celebrate Boston’s—and the nation’s—history-making Black leaders who I’m so proud to celebrate and support.
The problem is that you submitted an amendment, and then you voted for a Rule that blocked your own amendment. That’s why no one had a chance to vote on it. That’s how this works.

Also, I write my tweets myself.
The young worker leaders that Senator Sanders and I met with have risked their jobs to fight for the dignity and respect of workers everywhere.
Now, it’s our job to fight for them – including by passing the PRO Act to defend the right to organize once and for all.
After a 14 year fight, I couldn’t be more proud of yesterday’s announcement. $20 billion in funding for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to supercharge the clean energy revolution and make sure that we get federal funding for climate action into communities that need it most.
Just In: Inflation was 3% in June (y/y). That's an incredible drop from a year ago when inflation was 9.1% (y/y) in June 2022.
Rent/shelter accounted for 70% of inflation in June 2023.
**Wages are now rising faster than inflation**
State-sanctioned homophobia or discrimination of any kind is yet another terrible step towards the fascist and autocratic trampling of the rights of all communities. This Supreme Court is illegitimate.
Expand the Court.
