FDR unveiled the Economic Bill of Rights in his 1944 State of the Union address. Over 70 years later and his vision has still not been fulfilled. Our fight for healthcare, education, housing, a living wage, good jobs and a secure retirement continues today. https://t.co/g9bDZmYRJ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's executive order won’t stop hate speech online. It will give the government the power to shut down social media networks if they don’t like how content is moderated — a complete violation of free speech. I will always fight to protect our civil liberties. — PolitiTweet.org

There have been shootings at 2 Walmarts in just the past few weeks. Removing violent images from stores is not enough to stop these tragedies from occurring. If Walmart truly wants to keep customers & employees safe, they should end open carry policies. https://t.co/zzErDkauQq — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s stop asking how Medicare for All will be paid for. Yet another study has found that it would cost less than our current system. https://t.co/JegNhsJVeC — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate on Earth, but Bill Barr claims that electing DAs who end mass incarceration will create “more crime and more victims.” 34 states reduced both incarceration and crime rates simultaneously between 2007 & 2017. https://t.co/J81ZJajX5Q — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration’s proposal to give the FTC and FCC control over what is posted on social media platforms is overbroad. Every American must oppose this clear attack on the First Amendment. https://t.co/8o6aBtFEy4 — PolitiTweet.org

The unconvered stories in this Adminstration are taking place in the Cabinet agencies every single day. The Interior Department gutted the Endangered Species Act, prioritizing resource extraction over endangered species, and almost no one noticed. — PolitiTweet.org

Frederick Banting invented insulin in the early 1920s and when it was mass produced, Eli Lilly offered $1 million for the patent. Instead Banting took only $1. Today, three companies abuse their patents for profit and prices have more than doubled since 2012. #Insulin4All https://t.co/ed7VQgVwDD — PolitiTweet.org

.@AmbDermer I imagine you agree that the US is the greatest and most powerful nation. Data: the US is 24% of world GDP; Israel is .44%. We give Israel and other nations billions in aid. Do you see why it’s insulting to the American people for you to deny entry to Congresswomen? — PolitiTweet.org

@AmbDermer I imagine you agree that the US is the greatest & most powerful nation. Data: We are 24% of global GDP; Israel is .44%. We give billions of dollars of aid to Israel & other nations. Can you see why it’s insulting to the American people to deny US Congresswomen entry? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It’s disgraceful that Netanyahu is denying @IlhanMN & @RashidaTlaib access to Israel due to their political views. This isn’t a partisan issue. When a nation blocks a member of Congress from entering their borders, they are insulting the American people. https://t.co/FUJAH2t8mJ — PolitiTweet.org

The huge impact of CVS's decision to lower reimbursement rates on mail order birth control, making it more expensive for consumers, is even more harmful because of America's antitrust problem: CVS runs 29 percent of the pharmacies in America. #CVSDeniesCare — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

CVS's decision to lower reimbursement rates on mail order birth control will make it harder for tens of thousands of women to afford it. As a pharmacy, they should be promoting women's health, not creating barriers to care. #CVSDeniesCare — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration separates families, locks people in cages, denies asylum requests and wants to stop immigrants from using public programs but won’t say a word about the decades of U.S. interventionism that destabilized Central America. — PolitiTweet.org

Immigrants are the backbone of this country and banning them from using the same public programs as other Americans is discriminatory. Why don't we address the corporations that pay people so little that they need public assistance to make ends meet? https://t.co/Lnj7D2l6PR — PolitiTweet.org

Police are supposed to protect the communities they serve but too often, they murder people with impunity — especially in communities of color. With the PEACE Act, police officers in America will only be allowed to use lethal force as an absolute last resort. https://t.co/0sSX4EJ0M0 — PolitiTweet.org

@AshaRangappa_ @JamilSmith While we disagree on the need for the change in legal standard (I was convinced by NAACP, NAACP Legal Defense, ACLU, Sharpton that it’s critical), I appreciate your thread & it’s worth reading. You raise some thoughtful points about the cultural changes we need @AshaRangappa_ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@JamesAGagliano @AshaRangappa_ @JamilSmith Thanks for your perspective. But this is not a reflexive fix. It is the standard in 47 other countries signed onto the European Union and the standard by decree in Seattle where we have seen a decline in violence and no risk to officer safety. It would promote deescalation. — PolitiTweet.org

The Fair Housing Act was signed in 1968 but over fifty years later, there are 61 metro areas where people of color are more likely to be denied a mortgage. We won't close the racial wealth gap unless banks are held accountable for housing discrimination. https://t.co/zM2iCkGNv4 — PolitiTweet.org

July was the hottest month in human history, surpassing a record set in July 2016. 2015 through 2018 have also been the four warmest years on record — the new normal under climate change. The U.S. must take bold action to confront the climate crisis. https://t.co/jyhL7Nlcw3 — PolitiTweet.org

While Trump’s HUD rolls back housing regulations, black homeownership has fallen to its lowest rate in fifty years. @RashidaTlaib explains how we must update the Community Reinvestment Act to prevent housing discrimination. https://t.co/SMgje3U2DP — PolitiTweet.org
