A $15/hour federal minimum wage isn’t some unreasonable demand — it’s supported by two-thirds of Americans. The minimum wage has lagged behind inflation and productivity for far too long. American workers deserve to be earning more. That’s why we #FightFor15. https://t.co/ZLonXkCDoj — PolitiTweet.org

For decades, the Dickey Amendment prevented the CDC from studying gun violence — but the House approved $50 million for research this spring. In the wake of these horrific tragedies, the Senate must finally allow the CDC and NIH to conduct research. https://t.co/RLjQ3oL8ul — PolitiTweet.org

After so many tragic mass shootings, here is one major question we should be asking: Why is it so easy to buy a gun in America? https://t.co/IDRLtmkiu6 — PolitiTweet.org

Kennedy offers the best retort to Trump’s MAGA. “America was not built by those who rested and waited and wished to look behind them. The country was conquered by those who moved forward." — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The weapons used by our military on the battlefield shouldn’t also be sold in our communities at home. You don’t need an assault weapon to hunt. In the face of so many horrific tragedies, assault weapons must be banned in the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

“Wouldn’t it be great it if it wasn’t always dominated by health care fights?" Every Democratic candidate needs to listen to @rweingarten. As usual, she knows what she’s talking about! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.⁦@rweingarten⁩’s brilliant insight: “Wouldn't it be great if we had a single universal access point for health care and we could instead spend our time bargaining for lower class sizes and wrap around services and increases to people’s pay?” https://t.co/Eep8aC1ROL — PolitiTweet.org

Why do so many Republicans oppose universal background checks and refuse to even bring it up for a vote in the Senate when over 90 percent of Americans are in support? HINT: The NRA spent $1.6 million in 2019 lobbying against those bills. https://t.co/8V9u7QgfBr — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans who try to blame primarily video games, music, and the internet for mass shootings need to answer this question: People living in other industrialized countries also have access to these things, so why is the U.S. the only country where this happens regularly? — PolitiTweet.org

This is absolutely heartbreaking. If Josh lived in a country where he didn't lose his health coverage at 26 and the price of insulin was similar to other advanced countries, he would be alive to attend his wedding. Medicare for All will save lives. https://t.co/jGqinvDS5T — PolitiTweet.org

While investors make millions from marijuana, people in many states are still put in jail or get a criminal record for use. Legalization of marijuana on the federal level should be a no-brainer. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Here are the facts on immigration. In 1986, Democrats demanded of Reagan that we include 1324a, prosecuting employers for hiring undocumented workers. But Reagan decided not to enforce that provision. Why are we targeting parents with young kids instead of employers? @billmaher — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Sanctions will not bring democracy to Venezuela. They will only make hyperinflation worse, leave people starving, and allow Maduro to deflect blame with his base for his failed economic policies. https://t.co/YfALbelGmb — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Here’s what we mean by common-sense gun safety reform to keep Americans safe: ✅ Universal background checks ✅ Ban Assault Weapons ✅ Close gun show loopholes ✅ Prevent gun sales for anyone under 25 ✅ Provide funding for the CDC and NIH to conduct gun violence research — PolitiTweet.org

JFK, one of our most popular Presidents, ran on a platform in 1960 that “reaffirmed the economic bill of rights which FDR wrote into our national conscience.” Sanders agenda for attaining these rights by Medicare for All and free college is consistent with our Democratic values. — PolitiTweet.org

These stories underscore the severe financial toll that many families face because of the high cost of college. We fight for College for All because no parent should have to go deep into debt or take on second jobs to pay for their child’s education. https://t.co/ygqBh7X1va — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Brown was murdered by Darren Wilson just days after his high school graduation and justice was never served. The injustice in Ferguson must energize us to fight even harder for police accountability and transforming use-of-force policies. https://t.co/rziUjsltGt — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been five years since Ferguson sparked a nationwide movement for police reform, but today police use-of-force is a leading cause of death for young men. Federal standards must be changed so lethal force is only used as a last resort, not a standard operating procedure. https://t.co/Pph1jVXAIs — PolitiTweet.org
