  2. The folks writing checks for a new Space Force are the same ones asking “how are you going to pay for” public college or healthcare. This is the richest country in the world. Our problem isn’t a lack of money. It’s a lack of good priorities. And that is something we can change.

  5. The Senate’s abdication of responsibility to the rule of law represents a much deeper threat to our democracy, our institutions, and our republic. The GOP knows that its agenda is incompatible with democracy, so their larger project is to dismantle it.

  7. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses" As a son of Eritrean refugees, those words mean everything. The President's travel ban on Eritrea & other African countries is reckless, cruel and wrong. Congress must oppose it. And we will.

  14. I've been thinking about the nine ppl found dead in Mississippi's Parchman prison for days now, and I don't know what it's going to take for this country to actually understand that prison is one of the worst things our society does to ppl. There is no justice to be found there.

  15. “Israel will apply its laws to the Jordan Valley and to the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria." That's the definition of annexation. This is an annexation plan, not a plan for peace.

  18. This is shameful. America shouldn’t have a wealth test for admission. It’s a place where millions of people are descendants of immigrants who came w nothing & made a life. The American Dream isn’t a private club with a cover charge - it’s the possibility of remaking your future.

  19. It’s pretty cool that & came out to Iowa! NYC and Iowa are two incredibly different places, yet many of our common causes - healthcare, housing, climate + immigration justice - can open possibilities to bring us together & fight for one another.
