Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES.
I thought other countries paid for those?

We have sixteen year olds in Hillsboro, OR doing more and fighting harder for our democracy - while inspiring more to join in the fight nationwide - than our Senators are doing to fight for us under Schumer. He needs to go.

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.
“Fight for us”
“Fight for working class Americans”
“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”
5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.
“Nah”

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The problem, David, my city and the entire state of Oregon are under attack. We send good people to represent us and fight for us and they’re literally doing all they can - while New York sends Chuck Schumer to screw us repeatedly for decades. We won’t win until he and his old cronies are gone.

The contrast could hardly be sharper. My friends and neighbors, armed only with whistles and voices, spend their weekend fighting off heavily-armed paramilitary goons. Meanwhile, these jagoffs capitulate, but not before securing another $1 billion for their own security.

Illinois is currently under attack by armed and masked Federal goons - his entire State Government and all of the people of Chicago are fighting back so that this octogenarian can ignore all of the suffering and reality of what his constituents are experiencing to please the GOP.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

I feel more like this with every passing year.
We need a party that is committed to preserving, protecting & improving life. We don’t need people intent on endlessly negotiating how much humanity we deserve or if we deserve any at all.
We don’t need a society built around manufactured scarcity.

What these caving Dems are really afraid of is Republicans blowing up the filibuster and making all future elections about healthcare for all and student loan forgiveness only needing simple majority passage. They suck the same teat as the Republican Trumpsters. Kick em out!
