216 days ago, the House answered the American people’s call for real, meaningful action and passed H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act.
This commonsense measure, supported by over 90% of Americans, has been banished to @SenateMajLdr McConnell’s legislative graveyard.
Last month, @HouseDemocrats introduced the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, which would:
✅ Stop drug companies from charging more in America than in other countries
✅ Allow Medicare to negotiate to lower drug prices
✅ Cap out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000 for Medicare beneficiaries
Democrats have taken action on:
🔘 Election Security
🔘 Lowering Prescription Drug Costs
🔘 Bipartisan Background Checks
🔘 #EqualityAct
🔘 #ClimateActionNow Act
@senatemajldr has taken action on:
🔘Tax Cuts for Corporations and the 1%
Let’s #FlipTheSenate.
Agriculture is a cornerstone of New York's economy, with 33,400 farms and billions in sales and jobs. We need to ensure agriculture continues to thrive in NY https://t.co/00lFXfkwke
Proud to report that I received a perfect score on the @nylcv Environmental Scorecard! Thank you for including my bill (A5262), which will establish a "low carbon fuel standard" in New York, on this year's scorecard. (1/4)
Today, I am ending my campaign for president.
I am so proud of this team and all we've accomplished. But I think it’s important to know how you can best serve.
To our supporters: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Now, let's go beat Donald Trump and win back the Senate.
This. Is. Outrageous.
President @realDonaldTrump is saying it “none of your business” what he says to President Putin?!
If we can't count on President Trump, Congress must act to protect our elections.
@SenateMajLdr McConnell: It’s time to give election security a vote. Now.
Last night, the #DemDebate focused on the issues people care about. Candidates talked about:
✅ Health care
✅ Economy
✅ Climate change
✅ Immigration
✅ Women’s reproductive rights
✅ Gun violence
I want @realDonaldTrump to see this @AP photo.
Mr. President, these are not drug dealers, vagrants, criminals.
How could you look at this and not understand these are human beings, fleeing violence and persecution, willing to risk a perilous journey in search of a better life?
Children are being ripped away from parents, kept in cages, denied basic nutrition, hygiene, diapers, toothbrushes.
To rip kids from parents, to separate families as a policy is sick, twisted, inhumane.
The people who are in charge of this mess should be ashamed of themselves.
I'm so proud to see that New York's legislature passed the climate bill.
I’ve been pushing for this because it will mean:
✔️A big reduction in fossil fuels
✔️Environmental justice
✔️A boost for renewables
✔️And good-paying jobs
Can’t wait until @NYGovCuomo signs it!
Just wrapped up the most progressive session in memory. Big changes across the board.
✔️RHA & codify #RoevWade
✔️#GreenLightNY
✔Voting reforms
✔Criminal justice reform
✔Addressing threat of #ClimateChange
✔️#LGBTQ protections
Congrats 👏
