If Republicans try to cut Social Security or Medicare, I will use my veto pen to stop it.

. is there a way to make a formal complaint about the gas tank in my 2021 Highlander? It's supposed to be a 17.9 gallon tank, and i've never been able to put more than 12 gallons or so in it, even when i'm almost on "E" Really sucks to have to gas up every 250 miles or so
Maybe the DOL could sue Google for that??!

UnitedHealth Group made $20.1 billion in profit last year. How much of that record profit was made by raising costs and denying claims?
Putting $$ over patients is (ahem) EXACTLY why we have to fight these greedy healthcare companies.

At least 12 states allow the gov't to steal your home equity. They do it in shocking ways.
Just ask Kevin Fair, who fell $588 behind on his taxes after his wife was diagnosed with severe MS.
But Kevin didn't realize the debt was growing, because he never received notice. /6

Tawanda Hall fell $900 behind on a payment plan for her taxes. With added fees, she owed $22,642.
The local treasury took her home and sold it for **over $300,000.**
And then they kept the remainder. The government stole over $286,000. Jaw-dropping. /4

Geraldine Tyler is now 94. A few years ago, she accrued a $2,300 tax debt.
The government added $13,000 in fees, took her home, sold it for $40,000, and kept all the proceeds.
A federal court said that was A-OK. I wrote about it here. /2

A year ago, I wrote about a 93-year-old woman who fell behind on her property taxes. So the government seized her home, sold it—and *kept the profit.*
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear her case. But there are many stories like hers, and they'll shock you. A thread.

So close! Just that it was someone in Maine was nearly statistically improbable. But alas, our lotto pool didn’t win the jackpot.

Why is dental coverage not funded by Medicare? Americans over 65 are the age group with the lowest rates of dental insurance coverage. Medicare covers most other preventive care. Why not dental?

California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy.
Today, I'm proud to announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2024.
