Last night, every Senate Democrat voted for my amendment calling for a $17 an hour federal minimum wage while every Republican but 1 opposed it. The movement to raise the minimum wage to a living wage is growing.

In 2025, a job must lift you out of poverty, not keep you in it.

Wait till @JoeBiden finds out Musk wants to privatize Amtrak:

"Look, Jack, I’ve been riding these rails longer than you’ve been launching rockets. Amtrak’s staying the way it is—end of the line for you!"

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

That’s great

Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine
