The enormous challenges we face as a nation: the climate crisis, shrinking middle class, skyrocketing housing & health care costs, and more are a stark call to action. The old ways aren’t working and we can’t waste any more time tinkering around the edges. nyti.ms/2XwUZVp

Congrats to @jackie4LAUSD on her return to #LAUSD school board. The public ed system that underpins our democracy needs knowledge, leadership, & collaboration. Looking forward to working with her on our shared goal of public schools that are inspiring places to teach and learn.

Edye and I were humbled to be honored by the Kennedy Center this weekend. We used the opportunity to tell the audience that we thought funding for @NEAarts should be doubled. broadfoundation.org/eli-and-…

50 years ago I was in San Francisco campaigning with Alan Cranston. We were walking down the street when we heard Martin Luther King had been killed. In 1969, as a US senator, Alan sponsored a bill to make Dr. King's birthday a national holiday. It finally passed in 1983. #MLK50

My friend Michael Bloomberg is right about the tax bill: it's bad for the economy and it's bad for public education. time.com/money/5066014/billi…
It has been five years since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary. Sadly, our country still has much work to do to pass common sense gun laws.

I remember my time @michiganstateu fondly and still watch every football game. #SpartansWill xitter.cf/MSUBroadCollege/status…
2017 is coming to a close and we're getting nostalgic, and excited for what the new year holds. #TBT to 1954, when @UnreasonableEli was just beginning his journey after @michiganstateu #SpartansWill

As a child of immigrants, I stand with Dreamers. Forcing them out of their homes and dividing families goes against American values. Congress needs to act. #DreamActNow
