The problem with our health care system is high prices. Medicare for All is the most effective way to lower prices & costs. That’s why many big company CEOs and salaried doctors (47% of all doctors) have started to come out for single payer. https://t.co/so8wqlqFYP — PolitiTweet.org

.@BernieSanders was supportive of democracy dollars from the beginning when we worked on drafting it. Thanks @lessig & @ZephyrTeachout for driving the reform agenda. I am convinced Sanders is the true reformer our democracy desperately needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Please don’t insult @RevJJackson. As @TheRevAl knows, Jackson won in places in the Deep South with a coalition of working class white voters & black voters on issues of economic justice & ending militarism. He absolutely was electable & paved the way for progressives. — PolitiTweet.org

.@TheRevAl sums it up best. You have transactional leaders and transformative leaders. @BernieSanders has run a transformative campaign. He is offering a vision of what a more just America and world should look like. — PolitiTweet.org

If you supported the GOP tax bill, you can't claim fiscal responsibility to deny funding for healthcare, education, and action on climate. 60 Fortune 500 companies paid $0 in federal income tax last year. If they paid the 21 percent rate, they would owe $16.4 billion. — PolitiTweet.org

Special interests and PACs don’t contribute to candidates for fun. They know that their donations buy them influence in our system. That's why I fight to overturn Citizens United & started the NO PAC Caucus to get special interests out of our elections once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Nobody in politics should be working to have the people we represent removed from the voter rolls. Instead we should be fighting for automatic voter registration and an end to voter suppression so that our democracy is vibrant and inclusive. https://t.co/dpkjhjt4F2 — PolitiTweet.org

After decades of tax cuts for capital gains, estates, and the corporate elite, the 400 richest families are now paying a lower tax rate than the bottom 50 percent. How much did you have to pay in federal taxes last year? https://t.co/ook6tachVT — PolitiTweet.org

We've seen more than enough "not guilty" verdicts to know that police officers are too often not held accountable for excessive force. The PEACE Act will establish a use of force standard so that lethal force can only be used as an absolute last resort. @LacyClayMO1 — PolitiTweet.org

Many young people have lost sight of the American dream as economic mobility continues to decline and a combination of stagnant wages and student debt have locked many millennials out of homeownership. Our vision for the future must include restoring the American dream for all. https://t.co/hvEb6gHJJz — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeLewisATX @ezraklein @paulkrugman He was right that we needed a bigger stimulus. Agrees single payer is the best economic system. Recognizing that poor decision making, not a skills gap, has caused massive inequality. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The Supreme Court made the right decision in not hearing the appeal that would have essentially criminalized poverty. Local communities should be getting people the help they need by addressing the root causes of homelessness. https://t.co/V3CDq2ZfU1 — PolitiTweet.org

Economic mobility is declining in America with half of 30-year-olds earning less than their parents earned at the same age. Millennials need student debt relief, living wages, College for All & a pathway to good-paying jobs so that the American dream becomes attainable again. https://t.co/Dg0Xvq1rDv — PolitiTweet.org

There are 91 corporations that did not pay federal income tax in 2018. Many of them actually received a refund. Another 56 companies paid effective tax rates between 0 and 5 percent. What was your federal tax rate last year? — PolitiTweet.org

@dviyer I have consistently spoken for pluralism & secularism & that all laws & actions should meet that standard in the US, India, China or anywhere. @repjohnlewis and I recently wrote about Gandhian principles in an anthology published by the Indian govt. https://t.co/13YH2VgGt4 — PolitiTweet.org

The blackouts earlier this year were supposed to prevent deadly wildfires but because of the lack of advance notice, they put many lives in danger. PG&E needs to become publicly-owned so that they are accountable to the people — not shareholders. https://t.co/dNN1ZjpXWQ — PolitiTweet.org

There’s no economic justification for a decade of rising insulin prices. It’s pure greed. As Big Pharma profits, more than 1-in-4 Americans with type 1 diabetes rationed their insulin last year. https://t.co/jxLuObJIKe — PolitiTweet.org

% of U.S. adults without health insurance: ➡️ 2013: 18% ➡️ 2016: 10.9% ➡️ 2018: 13.7% Don’t let Trump get away with claiming that he will give people the best healthcare. There are 7 million more uninsured Americans since he took office. — PolitiTweet.org

If Republicans were serious about promoting the dignity of work then they would focus on creating good paying jobs in the communities left behind instead of giving tax breaks to corporations and stripping public assistance and healthcare from working class Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

America’s GDP is rising but incomes over the past forty years have fallen far behind. Economic growth is only an indicator of a strong economy if the middle and working class have a stake in that growth. https://t.co/HpzwlRFFw9 — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Kemp has purged more than 1.4M voters since 2012 — 20% of the registered voters in Georgia. Now Georgia has purged another 309k voters from the rolls. They claim it’s “list maintenance” but we know the truth: Another example of voter suppression. https://t.co/oiMSCoHSyW — PolitiTweet.org
