A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system. There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

For years, Big Pharma protected their profits by convincing Republicans to block Medicare from negotiating lower drug prices. I fought back, and Democrats came together to let Medicare bring down costs. Now let’s save even more money by expanding its price negotiations.

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

RFK Jr. has a track record of denying the reality of our country’s gun violence crisis. He has no place at the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Due to massive public pressure & us fighting back, the White House has rescinded their illegal Republican Rip Off. We won this battle, but the war against Projects 2025 is still on. They stopped Medicaid, food stamps, & much more. We made that stop temporary, but they will try again.

An amendment that would have simply let about 800 undocumented students who grew up in Florida finish their already begun college educations while paying in-state tuition failed in the Florida Senate & House. Just horrible miserable monsters who voted against this amendment.

A man in Pennsylvania shot and killed his wife, Karen Swarner, 32, and their two young children—Evelyn, 5, and Connor, 1—before killing himself at their home. Domestic violence murder-suicides occur more than once a day in the US, and 93% involve guns.

Fifteen years ago, the role of money in politics changed dramatically. On Jan. 21, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its decision in #CitizensUnited. Since then, election spending has reached unprecedented heights and the public has less insight into the sources of that money. Let's dig into the data.

Tax filing should be fast & free. You shouldn’t be squeezed into using an expensive middleman. That’s why I fought for Direct File. And that’s why I’m pushing to protect & expand it—while GOP politicians cater to big tax prep companies by threatening it.

President Trump’s federal hiring freeze has forced VA hospitals around the nation to stop hiring workers. Veterans need healthcare and the VA needs people to meet the demand. They deserve better.

When someone puts their life on the line to defend this country in uniform, we in turn, promise them health care after their service. Trump froze all hiring at the VA at a time when the VA is experiencing a shortage of doctors & nurses. Unacceptable. Our veterans deserve better.

It’s time for honesty (it always is): the first 2 years of the Biden-Harris administration, Dems held the House & Senate, Roe was not codified, the minimum wage was not raised, Americans didn’t get universal healthcare or even a public option, student debt cancellation was not passed into law, etc 🧵
