Over my years in the public and private sectors, I've had people tell me: If only the government could work like business.
Well, the team at @USEdgov and @USDS built a Student Loan Forgiveness portal that processed 8 MILLION applications in the first 30 hours without a crash.
For decades, the gun lobby and the oil companies and the drug industry controlled Washington. And ordinary people suffered.
Ans then, in one summer, all that changed.
The first gun safety bill in 30 years. Historic climate change legislation. Caps on drug costs.
Just wow.
If you have private insurance and need insulin, Senate Republicans just voted against capping the cost of insulin at $35.
Think about that. They voted to keep your medical costs high.
LIVE: I'm holding a press conference with @ChuckGrassley, @DavidCicilline, and @RepKenBuck on how our bipartisan technology competition bill will lower costs for consumers, and help businesses compete. Watch: https://t.co/mzB76ap2nq
Beyond heartbroken over the horrific tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Texas.
It has been nearly a decade since Sandy Hook and gun safety legislation has been repeatedly blocked. Unconscionable.
NOW: @SenAmyKlobuchar and @SpeakerPelosi hold a press conference celebrating the passage of legislation to memorialize Justices Ginsburg and O’Connor with statues in the Capitol.
No, the Senate bill codifying Roe did not pass, but tomorrow we get up and we fight again. And in November, we take that fight right to the ballot box.
And just like that, Judge Jackson is CONFIRMED by the Senate! I was so proud to vote for her. She is going to be an incredible addition to the Supreme Court.
On support from 3 Republican Senators for Judge Jackson, @SenAmyKlobuchar: “I think they saw in Judge Jackson what we all saw - this woman with incredible legal acumen, incredible ability to understand that the law is...that every single opinion impacts real people.” #AMRstaff
