A new study finds that 5% of multiple sclerosis patients with private insurance paid $9,855/yr in out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs. Their median household income: $53,039 Nobody should pay almost 20% of their annual income for the medicine they need to stay healthy. — PolitiTweet.org

When we look at our low unemployment rate, we need to consider: ➡️ Many people are underemployed and not earning a living wage ➡️ Others have dropped out of the workforce completely and stopped looking for work. Our economic prosperity must include every American. — PolitiTweet.org

The power of wealth isn’t only in having the money to live a comfortable life. In America, your amount of wealth determines access to political power, healthcare, education and justice. To make Dr. King’s dream a reality, we need to close the racial wealth gap. @DarrickHamilton — PolitiTweet.org

Apple, in my district, spends $60 billion on domestic suppliers annually. To put in perspective, that’s more than the GDP of Montana. When Trump hurts Apple with tariffs, he is hurting many domestic manufacturers and service providers. @tim_cook — PolitiTweet.org

Jump-starting America is a brilliant read for every policymaker to understand the strategic investments we need to lead the 21st century in economic growth and innovation. Any President should hire both @jonathangruber1 & @baselinescene to help craft a national strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Tariffs will not make our country much stronger, Mr. Trump. When millions of Americans are falling behind and the cost of healthcare and education continue to soar, these tariffs will hurt ordinary people and make consumer goods even more expensive. https://t.co/UOKudgBy5t — PolitiTweet.org

.@NateSilver538 what about the independents who voted for either in the primary? Any data of how many of them watch Fox? Also I wonder if there is underreporting of those who watch Fox to a pollster? — PolitiTweet.org

After almost two decades of endless war, we can’t let the warhawks in the Trump administration push us into another conflict in Iran or Venezuela. These must be our priorities for the future: ❌ Overseas wars ✅ Infrastructure ✅ Clean Energy ✅ Education ✅ Healthcare ✅ Jobs — PolitiTweet.org

The out-of-pocket costs for medications that treat multiple sclerosis are 20 times higher than they were just a little over a decade ago — and this is for Americans with private insurance. We need to end Big Pharma’s abuse of the patent system to save lives. https://t.co/3swKnMPQIv — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The Sanders base is very solid. I like his chances because the majority of voters in our party are for Medicare for All, ending pointless wars, free college tuition, and standing up against bad trade deals. He will win on the substance. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Don’t let the conservative pundits fool you: Raising the minimum wage doesn’t lead to low-wage job loss. A new study finds essentially no change in the following five years after a minimum wage increase. We must #FightFor15 all across this country. https://t.co/Jb07JVsOGr — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Tax Cuts: 📉 Only 6% of tax savings spent on workers 💰 Over $1 trillion in stock buybacks for investors Expanding the EITC: 📈 20% raise to workers making under $75,000 💰 Raise incomes of 47 million households 💸 Lift 8 million out of poverty — PolitiTweet.org

While this is certainly progress, it’s unclear how forcing Big Pharma to add list prices to commercials is going to end their patent abuse. If a drugmaker continues to hike prices on the American people, HHS should authorize generic competition. https://t.co/WfgiY9P8rf — PolitiTweet.org

Not only does fracking pollute our air and water but the wastewater injections have also likely caused a spike in Oklahoma earthquakes. https://t.co/jJ0cOXelYa — PolitiTweet.org

Still need proof that Big Oil has an impact on climate policy? Last week, the House passed a bill preventing Trump from withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord. Big Oil has contributed three times as much to those who voted against the bill. https://t.co/02rlvkgKy1 — PolitiTweet.org

For those who don’t quite grasp the seriousness of major sea level rise as a result of climate change, here is a visual aid. If we don’t take decisive action to lower emissions, New Orleans, Miami, Boston and sections of New York City and the Bay Area will be impacted. https://t.co/8L2SApH5kT — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanTrende I want to make sure America makes strategic investments in clean tech, AI, cloud computing, infrastructure, education precisely so American values win out over authoritarian capitalism in China. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@SeanTrende We probably agree more than we disagree. My point is they are our major competitor. They have a horrendous human rights record. But they aren’t wasting money on pointless wars. Much like we did in the 50s & 60s, we need massive investments in science and technology to win. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@MollyMcKew No one is saying we should look to China’s model. My concern is we don’t want authoritarian capitalism to win. We should consider that our main competitor isn’t wasting money on bad wars. We should be matching their investments in key areas so American values prevail. — PolitiTweet.org
