Healthcare costs are about to go up next year.
We need Medicare for All. Every American deserves healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt them.

The writing, voice acting, score, and Dark Deco animation style are still unforgettable. One of my absolute favorites.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Bottom line: running a government of the people the same way you’d run a family owned business doesn’t work.

Nobody forces anyone to be an ICE agent. These thugs have all willingly chosen to do that job. They could quit any time they want.
Remember that.

You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
These are the foundations of real freedom.

The Big Ugly Bill passing today is devastating. But we didn’t get here on accident. One big part of the problem is staring us in the face: corporate media. The press was meant to be a watchdog—the Fourth Estate. Instead, it’s become a concierge service for fascism

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history.
It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy.
There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was.
Today is one of those days.

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

There is a reason why working families are falling further and further behind.
The cost of housing, health care and other basic necessities are rising much faster than wages.

Our health care system is broken.
We need to end the disgrace of being the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right.
We must pass Medicare for All — legislation that I will be introducing next week.
