President Joe Biden knows we are all in this together. During World War II, factories across the country played a role in winning the war. Today's executive action means we will use the Defense Production Act to save countless lives here at home.https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1352350799221948417 …

I stand with @newyorkerunion workers walking out today and fighting for a first union contract. The New Yorker should sit down with its workers and negotiate a fair contract in good faith.https://twitter.com/newyorkerunion/status/1352254668035026947 …

Half of American workers are living paycheck to paycheck, and millions earn starvation wages. With Democratic control of the White House, the Senate and the House, we must raise the minimum wage to a living wage – $15 an hour. No excuses.

Amazon doesn’t want its workers to form a union because unionized workers have: - higher wages - better benefits - more control over their lives If Amazon workers in Alabama vote to form a union, that will benefit every worker in America.https://twitter.com/josheidelson/status/1350150232554655744 …

Essential workers should not have to go on strike for decent pay, and no worker should be threatened for exercising their constitutional rights. I strongly support Hunts Point Market @Teamsters strikers in their struggle for justice.https://twitter.com/TeamstersJC16/status/1351411444802351108 …

Joe Biden will inherit from Trump: The worst economy since the Great Depression, the worst public health crisis in 100 years, massive wealth inequality, the existential threat of climate change, a racist immigration system. These unprecedented crises demand unprecedented action.

Today is the last full day of the worst and most dangerous president in American history. For four years Trump has tried to divide our people up. Our job, now, is to bring people together around an agenda that works for all, not just the few.

“This country has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Keystone pipeline is & always has been a disaster. I'm delighted that Joe Biden will cancel the Keystone permit on his first day in office. With all of the major crises facing America, we must never lose sight of the most existential threat facing our planet: climate change.https://twitter.com/CBCNews/status/1350951867929534464 …

In this unprecedented moment – a pandemic, an economic meltdown, right wing violence, climate change, massive wealth inequality, systemic racism – we must move forward in an unprecedented way. Now is the time to stand up for working families & take on powerful special interests.

When Republicans controlled the Senate they used the reconciliation process to provide huge tax breaks for the rich and large corporations.  We're going to use reconciliation to protect working families, the sick and the poor.

Nearly 400,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus and the pandemic continues to soar. We need to aggressively increase vaccine production and get doses into the arms of everyone as soon as possible. Tens of thousands of lives are at stake.

McDonald’s paid its CEO more than $18 million in 2019. Please don't tell me the company can't afford to pay its workers a living wage. I stand in solidarity with the workers on strike today. Together, we will increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.https://twitter.com/fightfor15/status/1350078945530572806 …
