@walterkirn I don’t agree on a lot of things with you. But deep inside in me I feel you and like you very much.

Right now, there are 1,500 paid lobbyists from both parties in Washington working overtime to make sure we don’t represent our constituents who are dying and are sick and tired of paying outrageous prices for prescription drugs. What a disgrace.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As 2020 comes to a close, I wanted to share my annual lists of favorites. I’ll start by sharing my favorite books this year, deliberately omitting what I think is a pretty good book – A Promised Land – by a certain 44th president. I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Like everyone else, we were stuck inside a lot this year, and with streaming further blurring the lines between theatrical movies and television features, I’ve expanded the list to include visual storytelling that I’ve enjoyed this year, regardless of format.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Just to be clear: there is nothing “pro-life” about denying people comprehensive sexual education, making birth control harder to access, forcing others to give birth against their will, and stripping them of healthcare and food assistance afterwards.

While 40 million Americans filed for unemployment during the #coronavirus pandemic, billionaires saw their net worth increase by half a trillion dollars

This is the business model of private equity. Drain pension funds and spend it on private jets. (ht @davidsirota)

80% of the tax cut in the bailout "went to just 43,000 taxpayers each earning over $1 million a year. The average tax break for those 43,000 individuals was $1.6 million." https://t.co/ia9TP6LfbR

Here's the deal: Joe Biden has repeatedly advocated for cuts to Social Security. I've fought my whole career to protect and expand it.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The Democratic establishment is wrong to think @BernieSanders is too progressive to win a general election. He's the Democrats’ best shot at taking back the White House.

Share this with all the Bernie skeptics you know before #SuperTuesday:
