A blanket trade war with China and Mexico will not put “America First.” The result will be ➡️ Lost employment opportunities for American workers ➡️ A higher cost of materials for American companies ➡️ More expensive prices for American consumers — PolitiTweet.org

Louisiana is now the fifth state to enact a strict abortion ban, and it doesn’t even include exceptions for rape or incest. Another clear violation of Roe v. Wade. We must defend a woman’s constitutional right to choose. https://t.co/IqDpUHA4Ac — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnDelaney I will say this: We should meet arguments with reasoned response. I don’t think we build a coalition for progressive policies or stitch this country back together by launching character or personal attacks. Lets welcome @JohnDelaney in the arena and win on the merits. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnDelaney 2/2) Also Medicare for All will reduce insurance costs from the system and will lead to less pharma and hospital profits. This will allow them to cover more services for patients and actually lead to more of the money going on healthcare instead of corporations or executives! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@JohnDelaney 1/2) It is true that private insurance reimburses at a higher rate than Medicare (most hospitals are about 55% private & 45% Medicare for revenue). But Medicare for all will force hospitals and Pharma to cut fees so it will reduce costs without sacrificing care. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #PrideMonth! In June, we celebrate the accomplishments of all of those who fought tirelessly for LGBTQ+ rights. We’ve made much progress but still have a long way to go on guaranteeing LGBTQ+ equality in America. — PolitiTweet.org

While the price of tuition has skyrocketed over the past few decades, wages remain stagnant. Is it any surprise that the student debt crisis has become so severe? We need debt-free public college because nobody should have to start their lives in debt for getting an education. https://t.co/HwOnQYIraH — PolitiTweet.org

How many memorials will we have to erect? How many vigils will we need to organize? How many parents will need to mourn the loss of their child? How many must lose their lives to gun violence before we focus on the common-sense solutions that most Americans support? — PolitiTweet.org

This Congress we must pass @RepAdamSchiff & @SenBlumenthal bill that will repeal the absurd prohibition against bringing civil liability actions against gun makers, distributors, and sellers in federal court. — PolitiTweet.org

The next time a Walmart executive says that they can’t afford to pay their workers a living wage, ask them two questions: 🤔 How can you afford to reward investors with billions in stock buybacks? 🤔 Why are CEOs paid over 1000 times as much as the median employee? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

When companies like Walmart pay low wages to their employees, they pass the cost of benefits to taxpayers. The STOP Walmart Act introduced by @BernieSanders and I would prevent large corporations from engaging in stock buybacks unless they pay a living wage. #BernieAtWalmart — PolitiTweet.org

Trump talks about helping American workers in speeches. @BernieSanders delivers. Today he went to the Walmart shareholders meeting to demand that the corporation pay their employees $15/hour and give them fair representation on the board. #BernieAtWalmart — PolitiTweet.org

This is a must read by ⁦@karaswisher⁩. She understands tech better than the entire United States Congress put together. Makes the case for for spreading jobs and opportunity and for sensible regulation. Reason instead of empty slogans! https://t.co/JVReZcknnp — PolitiTweet.org

I should add a third difference! As the CBO director recently testified, Medicare for All would mean less health care cost for most American families AND for most employers. This is good for middle class pocketbooks and for our competitiveness. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I believe in the John Stuart Mill idea of the marketplace of ideas, and also having respect and civility in public debate. I am confident the Medicare for All arguments will win the day when you are on the debate stage in a few weeks. But I appreciate your being in the arena! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Two differences @JohnDelaney in how Medicare for All supporters and you approach the issue. We believe people‘s attachment is to their doctor, not their insurance company. Second, we believe delinking healthcare from employment will result in higher wages and more entrepreneurs. — PolitiTweet.org

Very thoughtful report by @trymainelee on @allinwithchris. Trymaine spoke to a farmer who wanted to keep his way of life but understood that technology & innovation was necessary to do so. Dems must offer a vision of how tech can empower every community in our nation to prosper. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @JoeNeguse gave a brilliant speech on the House floor for the Dream Act. Ignoring Republican chants of “build a wall,” the son of Eritrean refugees spoke about his hope for America. He was speaking to every Dreamer about the enduring decency & promise of our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrandonLoe2 I strongly opposed the war in Iraq and ran the first anti war primary. But one can respect someone’s service and patriotism and disagree with their judgment on a key foreign policy blunder. — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller is a true patriot. He served as a Marine & won the Bronze Star & Purple Heart. He served Bush & Obama. He has more credibility on law enforcement than anyone in Congress. The country needs to hear more from him. 10 min for a 2 yr $35 million investigation is not enough. — PolitiTweet.org
