Daniel Pantaleo has been fired 5 years after the world watched him murder Eric Garner with an illegal chokehold. Let's be clear: This is not justice. With the PEACE Act, Pantaleo would have immediately been held accountable for using lethal force. https://t.co/iKz74Mlph0 — PolitiTweet.org

We need a new standard that police violence is a last resort. That’s why I’m introducing a historic police reform bill with Lacy Clay which will amend federal use-of-force standards. Join the fight to keep communities safe and hold police accountable: https://t.co/JzrRswPbb5 — PolitiTweet.org

Businesses are planning to spend almost $15,000 per employee on healthcare this year. Last year, the typical family of four with insurance from their employer paid more than $28,000 for healthcare. Medicare for All would save money by eliminating the excessive costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Pan, China’s leader for quantum, gives Xi Jinping regular lab tours. Instead of bashing tech and showing a disdain for science and knowledge, wouldn’t it be nice if our next President takes an interest in making sure America continues to lead the field. https://t.co/M8kr336k3d — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s how much gerrymandering helps Republicans in New Hampshire: The governor vetoed a bipartisan bill that would allow districts to be redrawn by an independent redistricting commission. The voters deserve fair districts, not partisan gerrymandering. https://t.co/ndxMjXXCWf — PolitiTweet.org

The Waltons get $4M richer EVERY HOUR while many of their employees need public assistance to survive. WalMart also spent over $121B on stock buybacks & dividends for investors over the last decade. They can afford to pay their workers a living wage. https://t.co/23U1KZezE6 — PolitiTweet.org

Young black men are 10 TIMES more likely to be killed by police and we’ve seen too many officers not held accountable. I’m proud to work with @LacyClayMO1 to amend use-of-force standards so that police only use lethal force as a last resort and are held accountable. https://t.co/QwIavY7Zvv — PolitiTweet.org

Conservative pundits: Raising the minimum wage will destroy job growth and small businesses. Reality: As NYC raised its minimum wage from $7.25 to $15/hr, the restaurant industry outperformed the rest of the country in job growth and expansion. https://t.co/3yon2EHLlH — PolitiTweet.org

The reversal of Trumponomics, with its giveaways to real estate speculators, is a form Georgism with a tax on land. The increase of land value (by definition rent-seeking), more than investment, has contributed most to the declining share of worker income & inequality. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump doesn’t believe that knowledge is key to long term economic growth. He taxes research universities while providing tax cuts for real estate speculators. He’s providing sugar highs for a few individuals while mortgaging our nation’s future. — PolitiTweet.org

Are you tired of receiving surprise bills in the mail for out-of-network healthcare costs? With Medicare for All, no doctor or hospital will be out of network so you can get the care you need without going into debt or having to declare bankruptcy. https://t.co/G3sOJzGu6f — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. prison population has declined 7.3% since 2009 but we still lock up our citizens at 5-10x the rate of other industrialized nations. That’s the scale of mass incarceration. Our focus should be on education and treatment instead of jail for nonviolent offenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Weren’t the GOP tax breaks supposed to “pay for themselves?" If that money went into expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, it would boost the economy while giving working and middle class Americans a well-earned raise after decades of stagnant wages. https://t.co/WkRCw1JI0g — PolitiTweet.org
