    This extension is important and will bring much-needed relief to millions. But we can’t stop here. We must continue fighting to cancel student debt and make public colleges and universities tuition-free and debt-free.

    My Republican colleagues don’t think we should do anything about climate change. They are dead wrong. We’re going to act and act boldly by passing major legislation to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels. The future of the planet is at stake.

    Richard Trumka was a son of the American working class, and he never forgot where he came from. Over the years he and I worked together on many issues. He was a friend and I am saddened by his passing. Jane and I send our deepest condolences to the Trumka family.

    In my view, this reconciliation bill is the most consequential legislation for working people since the New Deal. Let’s get it done.

    From : The $3.5 trillion reconciliation package is a large and unprecedented piece of legislation. But we are living in an unprecedented moment. Now is the time for bold action, writes Bernie Sanders.

    I’m also very proud of , and for leading the effort to push the federal government to respond directly to the needs of the working class.

    I want to thank the Biden administration for finding a way to keep people in their homes while states distribute the $47 billion in assistance that Democrats in Congress provided in the American Rescue Plan.

    As we combat a deadly pandemic that caused a level of economic suffering we’ve not seen in this country since the Great Depression, we cannot allow families to be thrown out on the street. Today’s extension of the eviction moratorium is life-changing news for millions of people.

    We cannot allow people to be thrown onto the streets. We must extend the eviction moratorium.

    It’s outrageous that in the middle of a deadly pandemic the eviction moratorium has ended. I’m proud to stand with , and so many demanding the government respond to the needs of working people and extend it. We cannot allow people to be thrown onto the streets.

    Less than 0.004% of fully vaccinated people had a breakthrough case that led to hospitalization and less than 0.001% of fully vaccinated people died from a breakthrough Covid-19 case. GET VACCINATED.

    Rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure is important. Addressing the long-neglected needs of working families is even more important. And we MUST address the existential threat of climate change. There can be no infrastructure bill without a reconciliation bill.

    If you paid $20 to mail a Federal Express package overnight, you paid more to Federal Express than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years after making over $8.2 billion in profits. Yes, we are going to demand that companies like FedEx pay their fair share of taxes.

    It’s a disgrace that the eviction moratorium is about to expire. Rent is due tomorrow. In case anyone forgot, we've been going through a deadly pandemic that caused an economic crisis. We can’t allow families to be thrown out on the street. Congress and the White House must act.

    In 1965, half of seniors over the age of 65 had no medical insurance. The passage of Medicare 56 years ago today ended that injustice. Now is the time to lower the Medicare eligibility age to at least 60 and expand the program to include dental, vision, and hearing care.
