Billionaires and their Super PACs must not be able to buy Democratic Party primaries. If Democrats really believe in democracy and campaign finance reform, we must ban Super PACs in primaries. I stand with progressive reformers advocating for this change.

While the richest 1% have never had it so good, what is the reality for the working class?

60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck.
57% of our people cannot afford a $1,000 emergency.
41% of our people are rent-burdened.

We need an economy that works for all.

One person makes $100 million a year.
Another person makes $160,000 a year.
Both of those people put the exact same amount of money into Social Security.

We must scrap the cap on the wealthy and expand Social Security benefits — not cut them. https://t.co/cE4ehxCrc0

.@nynurses demanded change, and now, change is happening. CONGRATULATIONS to nurses at Mount Sinai Hospital & Montefiore Medical Center on your hard fought victory. https://t.co/u9cuNrxtDw

In the 1950s, CEOs were paid 20x more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs were paid 59x more.
In 2009, CEOs were paid 180x more.
Today, CEOs are paid 399x more than the average worker.

We must put an end to this rampant greed and inequality.

At a time when half of older Americans have no retirement savings & 55% of seniors are trying to survive on less than $25,000 a year, our job is not to cut Social Security or raise taxes on workers. Our job is to expand it so all seniors can live with the dignity they deserve. https://t.co/eCBTETdUOa

50 years after the ruling, the overturning of Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. We must codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

The last thing we need is another commission to propose cuts to Social Security & Medicare. The last time we had one, it proposed cutting Social Security benefits for middle class seniors by up to 35% & cutting tax rates for billionaires. We must instead expand Social Security.

Student debt is an incredible burden on millions and millions of young people who did nothing wrong except try to get the education they need. Yes, we can cancel all student debt in this country. https://t.co/dYmtxGUc6n

Let me tell you something you aren't going to hear about in the mainstream media.

We have in America today a working class whose weekly wages, adjusted for inflation, are LOWER than they were 50 years ago.

Is that remotely acceptable to you? I don't think so.

How does it happen that, despite spending almost twice per capita on health care as the people of other industrialized nations, our life expectancy is LOWER and getting worse? https://t.co/XhegMWCSQT

Shock of shocks! Corporate lobbyists aren't just fighting to stop a living wage. They're also taking workers’ wages to pad their own pockets and protect their wealth. Outrageous. https://t.co/jzlzGsjv45

“This country has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor." 

– Martin Luther King, Jr.

Given the parameters of what we understand as basic, comprehensive health care today, in my strong opinion, we are spending more than enough money to guarantee quality health care to all of our people. https://t.co/g5JAp0fon1

At a time when we pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs, isn’t it great that Pfizer had $1 million to give to the Kentucky Republican Party to expand its headquarters named for Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/SFZwsCMVkK

No. Moderna should not raise the price of its COVID vaccine to $130. https://t.co/714Zxx51QN

A year after the Trump tax breaks for the rich were signed into law, 34% of large, profitable corporations paid nothing in federal income taxes. Now Republicans want to pay for the mess they created by enacting huge cuts to Social Security and Medicare. They will not succeed.

Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine discovery was funded by the taxpayers of this country.
It costs Moderna about $2 to produce that vaccine.
They now want to charge Americans over $100 a dose for that vaccine. That is absurd. https://t.co/OvL2A7Yq1H

Now, in the midst of a continuing public health crisis and a growing federal deficit, is not the time for Moderna to be quadrupling the price of the COVID-19 vaccine. Now is not the time for unacceptable corporate greed. https://t.co/w8rRyIGWoo

We should ask ourselves about the priorities of this country when year after year, we continue to spend billions of dollars on corporate welfare while 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck. https://t.co/45T2zJnQqJ
