It was nice voting to send who I approve of to the Electorial College once. Now an outdated system. We need a simple POPULAR VOTE.

NEW: We need to take steps towards universal health care coverage NOW. Today, I’m introducing my Health CARE Act, legislation that would reverse the devastating impacts of HR. 1, implement a low-cost public health insurance option, and permanently expand ACA tax credits.

🚨BREAKING: Politico and MS NOW say Secret Service agents just CONFISCATED their reporters’ media badges and denied them White House entry again, despite a federal judge’s order restoring access. Trump is openly defying the court and attacking the free press. LOCK HIM UP.
🚨 BREAKING: Secret Service just confiscated press passes and blocked MS NOW, CNN, and Politico journalists from the White House after a federal judge ordered them restored. Laura Barrón-López (MS NOW) still looks shaken as she reports live outside. Watch.

Any “closed-door commission” on Social Security is code for a DEATH PANEL designed to cut your earned benefits! Make no mistake: All Social Security reform should take place in the sunshine, so beneficiaries can hold their representatives accountable!

Jon Stewart on the Supreme Court: “They have single-handedly made it impossible for us to reform and save our democracy. The way they have made it that corporations are people and money is speech. There has to be a process of amending the Constitution. This idea that Citizens United stands as the law of the land is the biggest bunch of shit. The Constitution is in a suicide pact and money in elections is killing this country”

Number of Americans uninsured or underinsured: 85 million Total medical debt in America: $220 billion Insurance company profits last year: $54 billion Solution: Medicare for All, which would save over $1 trillion and 114,000 lives each and every year. Let's get it done.

They shut down the Legislative Branch of the United States of America because I was outmaneuvering the Speaker to expose a global sex trafficking ring and impeach a rogue cabinet secretary. It was the only way they could stop me.

USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, hugely important for deadlines. So ppl must mail back with plenty of time. boltsmag.org/usps-postmark-r…

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Jon Ossoff’s Republican Senate opponent Mike Collins has been caught on tape encouraging Americans between the ages of 65 and mid 80s to “get off Social Security” and go back to work. This is absolutely insane and every voter in Georgia needs to hear it.

A truck driver working 40-hour weeks to make $50,000 a year pays about $3,800 in federal income tax. An 8% rate. An investor earning the same $50,000 in long-term capital gains pays $0. Work gets punished. Wealth gets rewarded. This tax code is a scam.
