In 1994, after 24 hearings on Clinton’s healthcare plan, Moynihan said to the finance staff director, “What would actually work is extending Medicare.” One of the most brilliant Senators knew that Medicare for All is the solution, but 25 yrs later, we still haven’t gotten there. — PolitiTweet.org

@benigma2017 @AyannaPressley @TulsiGabbard @JerryNadler @NitaLowey Actually, I we are trying just that by pushing for a vote on HR 326 and having it include language condemning explicitly annexation and new settlements. — PolitiTweet.org

Chlorpyrifos has been banned for household use and the EPA’s own study found that it could damage brain development in children. Why is it still allowed in our food? This EPA is once again protecting corporations instead of American families. https://t.co/byZo4QrEQL — PolitiTweet.org

This bill lifts the caps. But it’s not defense appropriation. We will fight to lower the defense number and would oppose a defense appropriation that is that high. We needed this to protect many domestic priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

A $15 minimum wage isn’t some hand-out for American workers. It would giving people a long-awaited raise after decades of the minimum wage lagging behind productivity and failing to keep up with inflation. It's well past time to #RaiseTheWage to $15 in the United States. https://t.co/LjKj3Lvubg — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not only retail stores that have fallen victim to private equity firms. Newspapers, nursing homes & grocery stores have been forced into bankruptcy. With the #StopWallSteetLooting Act, American workers and the financial system will be protected from massive corporate debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody should be forced to change their careers, move to part-time hours, or leave the workforce completely because they decide to have a child. Paid family leave and universal, affordable childcare would give people the security and flexibility they need to start a family. https://t.co/IMCHh7XOLV — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Master, CEO of MCS, a manufacturing company with $260 million revenue said that he offshores jobs to Mexico because health care is 22 percent of his cost. He knows manufacturers where healthcare is 40% of cost. If we want these jobs back, the answer is Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

.@OSUPrezDrake debunked the bogus argument that you can’t make college free because students need skin in the game. He noted that his own kids, & many kids of upper middle class or rich families, go to school for free and do very well! Give working class kids the same chance. — PolitiTweet.org

If you are wondering what PhRMA gets for the $28 million they spent in 2018 lobbying Congress, take a look at per capita pharmaceutical spending by country: 🇺🇸 U.S. $1,011 🇨🇭 Switzerland: $783 🇩🇪 Germany: $686 🇨🇦 Canada: $669 🇫🇷 France: $553 🇬🇧 U.K: $497 🇦🇺 Australia: $427 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been over a year since @AjitPaiFCC ended net neutrality and there were ZERO questions asked about it during the first debate. Every 2020 candidate must discuss how they will undo this blunder and restore the open internet for every American. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not just rhetorical. I joined colleagues in 2018 to send PM Netanyahu a letter demanding that the Palestinian village Susya not be destroyed. It has not been. I will continue to stand up for Palestinian villages that face demolition. — PolitiTweet.org

The risks from climate change are very real. According to a new report, heat waves will get longer and deadlier across major U.S. cities if we don’t take transformative action. Winning the green energy race would boost our economy and also save lives. https://t.co/KEkI2y07R8 — PolitiTweet.org

Opponents of the $15/hour minimum wage claim that it will lead to major job losses but a new study finds that raising the wage has had no effect on hours or weeks worked. Instead, they found that it lowered child and household poverty. https://t.co/fce7uYThLX — PolitiTweet.org

I believe @AyannaPressley we can work on a progressive agenda for peace on these principles. 1) Halt all settlement growth; 2) Halt Palestinian home demolitions; 3) Ease the terms of the Gaza blockade. — PolitiTweet.org
