Big corporations are hiking prices up for consumers and expanding their profit margins — because they can.
That's why I'm fighting to create some real competition in the markets, break up monopolies, and bring down costs for families.

Restaurants, gyms, and other small businesses are the foundation of the Massachusetts economy. But too many are struggling to keep up.
That's why @SenMarkey and I are calling on the Senate to swiftly pass a robust small business relief package — they can’t wait any longer.
Republican Senators want to slash the IRS budget in half — meaning a free pass for wealthy tax cheats, and slower refunds for working families.
My plan to fund the IRS will ensure the wealthy pay what’s owed & honest taxpayers get good service.
Good riddance. It's about time @Citi eliminates overdraft fees and other banks should do the same. Citi should do the right thing and refund the overdraft fees they took from customers during the pandemic.

Thank you, @GregCasar, for being in this fight for working people.
#TX35, you’ve got a terrific candidate for Congress on your ballot. Vote early today or cast your ballot this Tuesday!

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is an exceptional choice. As a former public defender, she will bring an invaluable perspective to the Supreme Court.
She’s been previously confirmed by the U.S. Senate on a bipartisan basis — and I fully support her swift confirmation.
The American people stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. And I support President Biden as he continues leveraging all of our diplomatic, political, and economic tools to bring an end to Putin’s unjustifiable attack and hold the Kremlin to account.
Student debt is a racial justice issue.
After 20 years of payments, the typical Black borrower owes 95% of their initial student loan, yet the typical white borrower owes 6%.
@POTUS can help close the racial wealth gap by canceling student debt.
They forgot to make a plan for that.
Giant corporations will try every trick in the book to stop unions. But brave organizers are fighting back—and when working people fight, working people win.

A beautiful new graph from @WhiteHouseCEA:
Even after adjusting for inflation, market incomes were up in 2021 across the board, with the bottom 50% seeing the biggest gains.
The Wall Street Journal is exposing how giant corporations are using inflation to expand their profit margins.
CEOs are bragging about using their market power to raise prices above their costs and making inflation worse for American families.
I support @POTUS imposing sanctions for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Together with our NATO allies and international partners, the United States should continue using all diplomatic, political, and economic tools to stop further Russian aggression against the Ukrainian people.
86% of Black students take out federal student loans to pay for college — that's nearly 20 percentage points higher than white students. With a stroke of his pen, @POTUS can #CancelStudentDebt and help close the racial wealth gap.
Student debt isn't just crushing our kids. Nearly 9 million borrowers are over the age of 50 and hold more than 20% of the federal student debt. @POTUS should #CancelStudentDebt and bring millions of Americans more financial stability. Let's do this.
It’s been an honor to fight alongside these two champions for working people, from launching the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to serving in the U.S. Senate. Happy #PresidentsDay!
Sea levels are rising in coastal communities like Boston and the threat of climate change grows stronger by the day. We need to tackle this head on and that starts by passing proposals in #BuildBackBetter to make big, bold investments to fight this crisis.

Bailey stands with Jorts (on all four of his feet), and I stand with the working people of America who are making their voices heard and building their power. Unions built the middle class, and unions will rebuild the middle class. https://t.co/Zp9lZrNtMV
