Sen. Schatz's new filibuster pitch (echoed by Sen. Warnock too): “We just changed the rules as it relates to the debt limit,” he tells me. “And I think that was important. But if we can do it for markets, we can do it for democracy.”

In my view, an asthma inhaler that is sold to the Canadian people for just $27 should not cost the American people $242. Period.

Yes, they were about to kill Kyle. The kid was better. Good for him and for all of us to have kids like Kyle around.

When someone, kneels, takes aim, and shoots, into a crowd, they are trying to kill people, this forms intent, no matter what a judge may think, the law is very clear on this matter

This series is great. Hands down the most clear-cut and interesting account of the 2008 economic collapse.

At a time when some billionaires pay nothing – not a nickel – in a given year in taxes, yes, it is time for the rich to pay their fair share.

The U.S. is currently one of six countries in the WORLD without a national paid leave program.    Time to change that. RT if you think we need paid leave for families.

He’s on track to become a trillionaire but paid LESS in federal income taxes than you did in 2018. He paid $0. It’s time for the ultra-rich and corporations to finally pay their fair share. thrillist.com/news/nation/el…

Will the BBB Act include everything Democrats fought for? Sadly, no. But let's not equate 98% support among Democrats with 0% support among Republicans. The answer isn't to abandon Democrats because we didn't have 100% sign-on; it's to expand our majority to KEEP making progress.

Anyone who watches my show knows I am as critical of Manchinema as the next person - if not more so! - but why do we give *50* GOP senators a pass? Why aren’t they constantly being asked by reporters why they don’t support popular & necessary measures on climate or paid leave?
