I am a hat person. I have been a hat person since always, and never. I like loud guitars, and my interactions with people who have taken too much diphenhydramine. 🎩

Donald Trump said he wants to "nationalize" elections.
Translation: he knows he's about to get destroyed in the midterms and will do anything he can to stop people from voting.

How do we pay for Medicare for All? We already do.
We spend more on healthcare than any country on Earth. And that money is stolen by health insurance CEOs.
Medicare for All is a modest proposal to spend the money on healthcare instead.

When you send armed, under-trained amateurs into American communities with vague orders and no accountability, this is inevitable.

I will fight for Medicare for All in the Senate.
Until we win it, I’ll back every bill that expands Medicare and Medicaid, cuts prescription drug costs, and puts the healthcare needs of the working class first.

When we launched this campaign, we said we wanted to knock on one million doors across the five boroughs by the June primary.
Some people laughed. You got to work. We hit 1.6 million.
In the general, we said let's do it again. Another million.
We just passed three.

Trump was able to find $40 billion to bail out Argentina and $300 million for his new ballroom.
Yet he can't find funds to prevent millions of Americans from losing access to healthcare or stop kids from going hungry.
Cruelty is the point.

Defunding food banks is a new level of cruel.
The Trump admin cut $500 million in food bank deliveries. These are the very food banks families are being forced to rely on with SNAP funding running out on Nov 1.
96 million pounds of food wasted is heartless.

From “you don’t have to vote again” to a Supreme Court ready to gut the Voting Rights Act.
The assault on voting is no coincidence. It’s part of their plan to silence millions of Americans and rig democracy from the bench.
