While some Democrats claim that College for All is about "sending rich kids to college", there is over $1.6 trillion in outstanding student debt in America and students skip meals or are homeless because they can't make ends meet after paying for tuition and textbooks. — PolitiTweet.org

Many of the same attacks being made against Medicare for All were also made decades ago in opposition to Medicare for seniors. Here are the facts: Medicare for All has been in democratic platforms ever since FDR and Truman and it’s been the dream of our party for over 70 years. — PolitiTweet.org

The unemployment rate might be going down, but almost half of Americans are working in low-wage jobs earning less than a living wage in most areas of the country. This is why our #FightFor15 and a union is so important. https://t.co/XkUoSD1loB — PolitiTweet.org

The tech companies CEOs who make millions from using consumers' data shouldn't be in charge of deciding the rules. It's on Congress to step up and give Americans the right to their own data and protect privacy rights. That's what my Internet Bill of Rights is about. — PolitiTweet.org

775,000 of our troops deployed. 2,400 American lives lost. Over 20,000 Americans wounded. 38,000 civilians killed. Trillions spent. Rumsfeld in 2003: “I have no visibility into who the bad guys are.” 18 years later it’s time to get out. Now. https://t.co/f03vbPCnQB — PolitiTweet.org

Health insurance companies and Big Pharma are so afraid that guaranteeing health care to all will hurt their profits that they’ve hired lobbyists to write negative op-eds. Medicare for All is all about putting people over profits and special interests. https://t.co/eREEBZQYwz — PolitiTweet.org

The UN chief says that we are at the point of no return on climate change. The scientists tell us that we are running out of time. If we fail to take transformative action, what will we tell our children when they are denied a sustainable future? https://t.co/i5P03Vndd5 — PolitiTweet.org

Universal, free public college & trade school shapes the expectation that post secondary education is not optional, but a necessity in a 21st century economy. In 1973, 28% of jobs required such an education. That number will jump to 65% by 2020! — PolitiTweet.org

The cost of deductibles and premiums continues to rise faster than median income, leaving many Americans to pay high costs even with insurance through their employer. Medicare for All will allow people to keep their doctors while removing the high costs of private insurance. https://t.co/5FcZqGqaMB — PolitiTweet.org

Making it harder for hundreds of thousands to put food on the table — including 300,000 in CA alone — won’t restore the dignity of work. If Republicans cared about the dignity of work, they would invest in creating pathways to good jobs across America. https://t.co/PrWBUY45G8 — PolitiTweet.org

The fossil fuel industry knew about the impacts of climate change as early as 1966. Did they take action to clean up the environment? We wish. Instead they funded lobbyists and trade groups to spread climate denial and prevent action for decades. https://t.co/XJJDil49DE — PolitiTweet.org

Some Democrats continue framing Medicare for All and the wealth tax as unreasonable, but Democratic voters don’t agree and neither do independent voters who are important for defeating Trump in 2020. https://t.co/Wee4pBy0WF — PolitiTweet.org

I was born in Philadelphia to immigrant parents in 1976, our bicentennary. I want everyone to have what this country gave to me — a good public school, inspiring teachers, devoted coaches, caring neighbors, decent healthcare, & the boldness to dream that anything is possible. — PolitiTweet.org

FOSTA-SESTA supporters claimed that it would end sex trafficking but since it’s passage, sex trafficking has increased and sex workers face increased violence and sexual assault. That’s why I voted against it and am calling for a NIH study on how it’s harmed sex workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Billionaires use: 🏫 Schools 🏥 Hospitals 👩‍🚒 Firefighters 🌉 Infrastructure 🏤 The post office Does that mean we should stop funding these things for everyone? That's the flawed argument being made against College for All. — PolitiTweet.org

With private insurance, your employer chooses your insurer and the insurer chooses which doctors, specialists, hospitals & prescription drugs are covered. If you are truly looking for choice in your healthcare decisions then Medicare for All is what you should be fighting for. — PolitiTweet.org

Have you received your extra $4,000 per year that Republicans guaranteed would be the result of their disastrous tax plan? Here was the actual result: The wealthiest Americans have more than doubled their wealth since 2009 while their taxable income has gone down by 4 percent. https://t.co/kNyWyXrc0D — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s tragedy only further highlights that it is time we put an end to U.S. support for the Saudi Airforce. That’s why the National Defense Aurhorization needs to include my amendment to stop providing the Saudis with logistical support for their aerial bombing of Yemen. — PolitiTweet.org

There are six states with only one abortion provider and Republican attacks on women’s reproductive health over the past few decades have caused the number of clinics to drop nationwide. Together we must protect Roe v. Wade and women's autonomy in making health care decisions. https://t.co/f5yT7z758S — PolitiTweet.org
