Tomorrow’s elections might be the most important of our lifetimes. The health care of millions is on the ballot. Making sure working families get a fair shake is on the ballot. The character of our country is on the ballot.
The last presidential election turned on fewer than 100,000 votes in three states. More people go to Coachella. There’s no good excuse not to vote. Head over to https://t.co/zTCemnRMYV to check your registration, get your absentee ballot, and find out where to vote on November 6.
When someone says that Medicare for all costs $32 trillion, we should mention how our current system costs $49 trillion.
Medicare for All would take the excessive costs of insurance, hospital facility fees, and prescription drugs out of the equation.
About 10 years ago I worked in Ted Kennedy’s foreign affairs/immigration constituent office.
I REGULARLY fielded calls from panicked mothers who came home to missing family members.
ICE was created in 2003 along w/ the Patriot Act. It was a weapon waiting for a tyrant.

If the big banks are allowed to borrow money from the Federal Reserve at nearly zero interest, then why are those with student debt forced to pay up to 7 percent? Lowering the interest rates would help the millions of Americans who are falling behind on their payments.
Just horsed out 4K words.The more I do it, the more I realise that the key is non judgement. You have to write like you're watching a film in your head. A Waking dream. No worrying about grammar, spelling,no thinking about good/bad or what others will like.That's for the edit.
Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.
We should not be selling assault weapons in this country. These weapons are not for hunting. They are for killing human beings. These are military weapons.
We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we're doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans want, then we have to change.
@StephenKing Check out @justicedems if you are interested in candidates who want to get big corporate money out of politics, including NRA money. https://t.co/T38VdUSwcp
The 2nd Amendment extremists will never be swayed from their hardline position. The only way to enact sane gun regs is at the ballot box. If you feel that way, it's simple: if they take money from the NRA, don't vote for 'em in November.
The idea that kids are capable of representing themselves in court defies basic common sense.
All children deserve due process. https://t.co/arionOF5a8
The great political issue now facing our country is not Democrat vs. Republican or progressive vs. conservative. It's much deeper than that. It's about democracy vs. authoritarianism.
Yesterday Trump suggested that members of Congress who don't mindlessly stand and applaud his every word are guilty of “treason.” The great political issue now facing our country is not Democrat vs. Republican. It's about democracy vs. authoritarianism.
Getting rid of gerrymandered districts is an important step in the fight against voter suppression, but we must go further. It is past time to restore the Voting Rights Act, expand early voting and implement automatic voter registration. https://t.co/LZ8S7CL0Og
