The dollar crashing is great news for all of us Brits who've found the US unaffordable since Brexit, except when we try to visit we're going to be turned away at the border because we liked a tweet saying slavery was bad

Billionaires don’t have a constitutional right to own your government. Today @khanna.house.gov and I unveiled the Abolish Super PACs Act to get money out of politics and restore democracy for, of, and by the people. We must make it harder for billionaires + corporate interests to buy our politics.

A market correction, especially one induced by whiplashing policy announcements, is a great buying opportunity for the insiders and the billionaires. Maybe these guys are like Hans Gruber: thieves posing as ideologues.

Maybe putting elections up for sale was not a good way to prevent greed and corruption in government.

Happy International Women's Day! May every woman find their way into the room where their voice is most needed—whether that's a board room, a legislature, or a PTA meeting. When we stand up and speak our values, women change the world!

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused. NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man. YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.

The gene therapy Zolgensma helped children born with spinal muscular atrophy grow up to run and play. But the cost was stunning: $2M per dose. While taxpayers and small charities funded the drug’s early development, executives, venture-capital backers and a pharma giant have reaped the profits.

The plan was always to flood the zone with shit. Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff you don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

What a strange headline for a story that notes: 1. 2,169 ballots were rejected for no ID. 2. "The voter ID law disproportionately hindered Democrats." 3. "The evidence overwhelmingly shows" that fraud "is essentially nonexistent." 4. The state Supreme Court race was decided by only 625 votes.

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags. #woke
