Ticketmaster’s systems failed during the November pre-sale for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. While they’ve offered explanations, the failure is symptomatic of a larger problem: lack of competition. — PolitiTweet.org

The ticketing and live entertainment markets lack competition and are dominated by a single entity: Live Nation. Live Nation has consolidated its dominance, leaving fans and artists to pay the price. We’re examining it. — PolitiTweet.org

January 6th was a dark moment in the history of our democracy. Today, four far-right militia group members were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their role in the insurrection. It’s a step towards justice and a reminder: democracy must always prevail. — PolitiTweet.org

.@EPA's continued action to study & curb PFAS discharges will protect our nation's waterways from industry’s toxic contaminants. EPA's science-based, detailed action plan to expand its collection of data is essential for a comprehensive record of PFAS sources. — PolitiTweet.org

Military-style assault weapons are designed for combat. Their bullets cause devastating damage when they tear through flesh and organs. I support banning assault weapons from civilian use. https://t.co/hDgY7Pq9lI — PolitiTweet.org

1/4 of the total national debt – $8 trillion worth of debt – was racked up during the four years that Donald Trump was President. Raising the debt limit is the least MAGA Republicans could do after supporting his priorities & cutting taxes for the wealthiest people in America. https://t.co/IL93P4E1Kr — PolitiTweet.org

The fall of Roe marks the first time children are growing up with fewer fundamental rights than their parents. But Americans have said clearly: they don’t support Republicans’ anti-abortion extremism. We must codify nationwide access to reproductive health care into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Roe v. Wade established a constitutional right to an abortion 50 years ago. We should be celebrating that right today. Instead, today is a call to action. Democrats will continue to fight to strengthen access to reproductive freedom. — PolitiTweet.org
