Household incomes have grown slightly over the past few years and the unemployment rate has gone down, but the median income has only recovered to where it was two decades ago. The result of an uneven recovery. We must expand opportunity to every community left behind. — PolitiTweet.org

📈 Americans who lacked health care coverage for part of 2018: 27.5 million 📉 Americans who will lack health care coverage under Medicare for All: ZERO https://t.co/M79aWpJRUR — PolitiTweet.org

While the Trump administration talks about building a wall on our Southern border to keep Americans safe, there have been 283 mass shootings within our borders in 2019. Keeping our communities safe means passing comprehensive gun safety reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Things that are considered “unrealistic” by corporate lobbyists and pundits but are the standard in many industrialized countries: 🎓 College for All 🚄 High-speed rail 🏥 Medicare for All 🍼 Paid family leave 🧸 Affordable, universal childcare — PolitiTweet.org

It’s an absolute failure of our justice system that Brock Turner was released after three months in prison. Sexual assault robs people of their dignity and leaves emotional scars that can last a lifetime. Chanel Miller is so brave for coming forward. https://t.co/C1ohDIrTON — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the amount of speaking time that each candidate received at last night’s #DemDebate. That small green section was the only time devoted to climate change. The DNC must treat this crisis with the urgency it deserves by hosting a #ClimateDebate. https://t.co/n6Rtt1HjPH — PolitiTweet.org

This list will only get longer as the air and ocean temperatures rise, the ice caps melt, sea levels rise, and droughts and wildfires become more frequent. Climate change isn’t only a national emergency. It’s a global emergency. https://t.co/zIL5seQmH2 — PolitiTweet.org

Dems who claim that Medicare for All takes away choice must answer: Do you believe seniors over 65 who are automatically enrolled in Medicare don’t have choice? That’s a Republican talking point for privatization! If you believe in Medicare for seniors, why not for all Americans? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The current Justice Department requires prosecutors to charge the mandatory minimum as a default or justify an exception. The next Dem AG should reverse this, requiring prosecutors to justify any decision before charging the mandatory minimum. @BernieSanders @CoryBooker @ewarren — PolitiTweet.org

Why did we have an entire Democratic debate without a single question about creating good jobs and raising pay? In many parts of the country that are left out, it’s still the economy, stupid. As Democrats, we cannot forget that. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @griffin_rick: @RoKhanna @PeteButtigieg @BernieSanders @amyklobuchar and they said they read the bill. https://t.co/c03PMAXUGF — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@PeteButtigieg you are wrong that @BernieSanders plan “doesn’t trust the American people.” @amyklobuchar page 8 is not a “ bad idea.” Bernie’s bill has the same ban on duplicative insurance that current Medicare does! It extends Medicare to all as Johnson & Moynihan envisoned! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@BernieSanders was the only senator willing to take a risk in introducing my War Powers Act to end U.S. involvement in Yemen. Together we built a bipartisan coalition and passed it in both houses. His courage and leadership will get us out of endless wars. #DemDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Cost of healthcare for the average family of four in America: $28,000 Average amount paid by family of four after the employer contribution: $12,000 Cost of healthcare for the average family of four in America under @BernieSanders' Medicare for All: $0 #DemocraticDebate https://t.co/chh9Oie9Py — PolitiTweet.org

There’s no economic reason why Americans pay so much for prescription drugs. It's Big Pharma greed. As president, @BernieSanders will rein in their greed and patent abuse to finally lower the price of prescription drugs in America. #DemocraticDebate https://t.co/0v6qKtre0c — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Here’s the truth about @BernieSanders’ Medicare for All. It will mean ✅ Health coverage for everyone ✅ More benefits ✅ Fewer costs ✅ More jobs #DemocraticDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Even in states where marijuana is legal, many people don’t have the time or money to individually petition the court to expunge their marijuana records. More communities need to join Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago in automatically clearing marijuana offenses. https://t.co/8YX3skun1q — PolitiTweet.org

America’s global leadership shouldn’t be about selling weapons to authoritarian regimes and getting involved in endless wars around the world. Our foreign policy must be rooted in human rights. https://t.co/1YcAlWbyAT — PolitiTweet.org

People with mental illness are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators, and they make up less than a quarter of mass shooters. Not only is this plan completely misguided, but it’s a serious violation of privacy. https://t.co/KtnfrWwU4Q — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's new food stamp regulations will make it harder for 3.6 million Americans to put food on the table and more than HALF live in states that Trump won in 2016. Once again Trump's policies will hurt the very same people who voted for him. https://t.co/2uuftgRd4J — PolitiTweet.org
