[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

The 1/6 Committee is examining how the insurrection took place and why.

To ensure our democracy never again comes so close to the brink. 

Trump’s offer to pardon those responsible shows we’re still at risk.

And suggests his only regret about Jan 6 is that it did not succeed.

Some got mad at Dr. Seuss when his family pulled books they found insensitive.

They got mad at Potato Head for being inclusive.

They got mad at Big Bird for getting vaxxed.

Now, they’re mad at M&M’s for not wearing high-heels.

Fortunately, their kids can still play with guns.

There is something terribly wrong with a system that allows 41 Senate Republicans representing 21% of the country to block voting rights legislation supported by nearly 70% of Americans. It really, truly, doesn't have to be this way.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

If the GOP can pass a $1,900,000,000,000 tax cut for the super rich with 51 votes, we shouldn’t need 60 votes to protect something as fundamental as the right to vote.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Call me a radical Lefty, but I think protecting democracy is more important protecting the filibuster.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

In 1963, when LBJ was advised against using his limited political capital on voting rights, he responded: “What the hell’s the presidency for?”

Biden, what's the presidency for if not to stop our slide toward fascism?

Make Manchin and Sinema fall in line.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

PSA: Martin Luther King Jr.’s family is calling for no celebration of MLK Day without action on voting rights legislation.

Spread the word.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Who else thinks vaccines should be made free to everyone around the world?

The more people are vaccinated, the safer we all are.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Remember when McConnell got rid of the filibuster to confirm Trump's SCOTUS nominees? Dems could do the same...but for voting rights.

If they don't, Republicans will keep the Senate in gridlock, blame Democrats for it, then run on Democrats’ incompetence in the 2022 midterms.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The suggestion that any job is “low skill” is a myth perpetuated by wealthy interests to justify inhumane working conditions, little/no healthcare, and low wages.

Plus being a waitress has made me and many others *better* at our jobs than those who’ve never known that life.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

People say the Jan 6 insurrection failed. But did it really?

—There have been no consequences for Trump or co-conspirators in Congress
—71% of Republicans think Biden’s win was illegitimate
—Voter suppression laws are sweeping the US

Join me live on Jan 6 at 9am PT to discuss.

PSA: Billionaires don't need to have their fortunes grow by $28 billion in a single day to be innovative. Tax the rich already.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

There is something seriously wrong with an economy that enables the world's richest man to add $28 billion to his wealth in a single day while more than 50% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

There is no labor shortage. There is a living wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, a child care shortage, a paid sick leave shortage, and a health care shortage.

Does a new year mean we can settle this debate and finally treat workers with dignity?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

If this year taught us anything, it's that:

1) Poverty is a policy choice.
2) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
3) Corporate profits don't trickle down.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.

I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Changing CDC guidelines won’t make Americans magically healthier. They need universal healthcare.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

If you think Covid treatment should be free (of course it should), why do you think insulin shouldn’t be? Or cancer treatment? Or mental health?

Health care should not be run for profit. Period.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

I can’t believe I have to say this, but forcing Americans to work when they’re sick won’t end the pandemic.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but refusing to get vaccinated doesn't make you Rosa Parks or MLK.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Call me a radical Lefty, but I don’t think the US government should be tailoring its health guidelines to boost corporate profits.
