Our Build Back Better Agenda is a historic investment in middle-class families. It will be paid for by reforming the tax code to make sure the wealthiest Americans and largest corporations pay their fair share.
No one earning under $400,000 will pay a penny more in taxes.

Partisan gerrymandering suppresses the will of the people. We have to ban it once and for all.

My first responsibility is to protect the American people and make sure we have vaccines for every American, including enough boosters. As soon as they're authorized, those eligible will be able to get a free booster right away in tens of thousands of sites across the country.

If we do not move aggressively to combat climate change and if we allow the planet to become increasingly unlivable, we will be showing absolute contempt for our younger generation. It would be grossly immoral to turn our backs on our kids and grandchildren. We must act now.
Mandy Marsden retweeted
We must spare no effort to restore the right to choose in Texas.
Because let’s be clear: banning abortion doesn’t actually end abortion.
Just safe ones.
We can never return to the days of back alleys and coat hangers.
Never.

The science is clear: if we do not address climate change now, we will suffer greater and more frequent climate disasters and the Earth will become increasingly uninhabitable.
It’s time we listen to scientists, not the fossil fuel industry.

Texas law SB8 will significantly impair people’s access to the health care they need—particularly for communities of color and individuals with low incomes.
We are deeply committed to the constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade and will protect and defend that right.
Mandy Marsden retweeted
The Supreme Court’s decision to do nothing and let this appalling Texas law go into effect is an effort to rip away women’s rights, health, and reproductive freedoms.
This fight is only just beginning. Democrats will fight against #SB8 and for Roe v. Wade.

Endless money for tax breaks for the rich? No problem. Endless money for wars? No problem. But when it comes to combatting climate change and addressing the needs of the working class, Republicans say we can’t afford it. Not acceptable.

How does this sit with you? In America today, you've got 30 laws already enacted in 18 states which restrict access to the vote. Got that? On top of that, more than 400 bills restricting voting access have been introduced in 49 states.
Our job now: pass the For The People Act.

Let’s be clear about what just happened in Texas: The second-largest state in America has effectively banned abortions. We can’t rely on the courts to protect our rights. It’s time for national laws to ensure reproductive freedom.
Mandy Marsden retweeted
This is what we feared.
When Republicans stole a Supreme Court seat from the American people, they did it for exactly this purpose:
To erase a woman’s right to choose.
And early this morning, at 12:01AM, Texas did just that.
This cannot stand.

Nearly half a century ago, the Supreme Court affirmed abortion as a constitutional right. This Supreme Court's refusal to overturn Texas’ law banning abortion is outrageous. Women get to control their bodies, not politicians and not judges.

A doctor at a Florida hospital said he recently had to reject a cancer patient because the hospital's beds were full of Covid-19 patients, another example demonstrating that the Covid-19 surge is affecting critical care for other patients in urgent need. cnn.it/3Dn0xE6

In America today, working class people pay, on average, a tax rate that is 24x higher than that of Jeff Bezos, one of the richest guys on the entire planet.
Maybe, just maybe it's time for the billionaire class to pay their fair share of taxes.
