I have a message for President Trump: the money you are withholding from the SNAP program is not yours to withhold. It belongs to the American taxpayers.

Release the funds now.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.

We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.

We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

Federal armed agents should not be enforcing DC's juvenile curfew. That's why I voted against the extension of a juvenile curfew.

I asked if we can be sure that there would be no federal involvement in enforcing the curfew. The answer was No.

We need to protect our young people.

More than $70tn of inherited wealth over next decade will widen inequality, economists warn Expert panel says report on gap in global wealth between rich and poor highlights need for intervention by G20

Over the next decade, more than $70 trillion will be passed down to heirs, and it's safe to say that most of that $70 trillion will end up in the hands of the already wealthy.

We need a global plan to tax extreme inherited wealth. And we need it now. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

#VoteYesOn50

Prop 50 is life or death of democracy for the whole country. Everyone across the nation who believe in the constitution is depending on California to VOTE YES on prop 50!

I already voted, have you?

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?
