I'm proud to endorse Teri Castillo for San Antonio City Council and Luke Amphlett for San Antonio School Board Trustee. They understand that now is the time to think big and put working people ahead of the wealthy and powerful. https://t.co/Y6M8jHvslY

We must ask ourselves, what does it mean to age with dignity? If you're unable to hear your partner's voice, or unable to see the world around you, or made to live with severe dental pain — is that dignity? Let's expand Medicare to cover hearing aids, dental care, and eyeglasses.

A great country is judged by how it treats the vulnerable. We must expand Medicare to cover eyeglasses, dental care and hearing aids. https://t.co/GiP2s2G3Or

For most of history, this country led the world in infrastructure. From the railroad to the interstate highway system to the rural electrification program. We grew the economy. We gave workers a decent standard of living. We must invest in our nation's infrastructure once more.

I stand with the @seiuhcpa hospital workers in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania who are demanding safe staffing levels and patient care conditions. Community Health Systems should sit down with its workers and negotiate a fair contract. https://t.co/cEPLGOFdep

More than half of older Americans say they've avoided going to the dentist because of the cost, while 1 in 5 Americans over the age of 65 have untreated cavities, and 2 in 3 have gum disease. This is not a reality I believe we should accept in the richest country on the planet.

Cost to manufacture 1 vial of insulin: Around $6
Cost of 1 vial of insulin for consumers:
: $9
: $11
: $14
: $7
: $7
: $12
: $98

The American people should not be forced to pay the highest prices on the planet for prescription drugs.

Now is the time to think big, not small — that means restoring the corporate tax rate to 35%, cracking down on offshore tax shelters, and closing corporate tax loopholes. This would generate at least $2.3 TRILLION to invest in the long-neglected needs of the working class.

RT @PostOpinions: Withdrawing from Afghanistan is a courageous step, @BernieSanders and @RoKhanna writes in an op-ed.

Here’s what must come next: https://t.co/kBjZW8fpTw https://t.co/nKMX2AWtWX

I happen to believe that when you talk about infrastructure, you've got to talk about human infrastructure. Education. Health care. Childcare. Good wages. Affordable prescriptions. That's human infrastructure. Yes, we have got to rebuild this country's crumbling infrastructure. https://t.co/Fau7ProCdo

20 years of war is enough. 2,500 brave men and women losing their lives is enough. The expenditure of $2 trillion is enough. I applaud what President Biden has done in ending our nation's longest war. https://t.co/LlYsfR7sNk

We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to every U.S. and coalition servicemember who served in Afghanistan, and we will never forget the 2,488 U.S. servicemembers who gave their lives there. We also remember the over 100,000 Afghan civilians who have been killed in this war.

I applaud President Biden for making the right decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and bring an end to the longest war in our country’s history.

If we end dozens of tax loopholes, subsidies and other special interest giveaways to big oil, coal and gas companies, we can save taxpayers up to $150 billion over the next decade.

Infrastructure means that when mom and dad go to work, their children have high quality child care at a cost working families can afford.

Congratulations to the Urban Institute and Brookings staff for for organizing @UrbanInst_Union and @BrookingsUnion with @NonprofitUnion. I hope other workers in nonprofits follow their example and join a union. Now more than ever, we need a strong labor movement for all workers. https://t.co/qlvlHUIE7V

Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim friends. May it be a month of much peace and joy.

Have you or a loved one ever delayed seeing a dentist because of the cost?

It is time to expand Medicare to include dental care, eyeglasses, and hearing aids.

In America, 75% of seniors who need hearing aids don’t have one. Why? The average hearing aid costs more than $2,400 and can run as high as $6,000, while 50 percent of seniors are living on a fixed income of less than $2,200 a month.
