    We have an affordable housing crisis and Trump is making it much worse. That is why today we are proposing the most progressive housing plan in history. Safe, decent, affordable housing should not be a privilege. It should be a right.

    Because of GM's outrageous greed, 49,000 workers went on strike. So GM cut off their health benefits. This is why we need Medicare for All—so no one will ever lose coverage. Medicare for All means freedom, including freedom to strike.

    Did General Motors just make the case for Medicare-for-all?

    We are all thinking of Ady today. Thank you for never backing down in the fight to guarantee health care to all people.

    An update on my health. It’s been increasingly hard for me to breathe on my own, so I’m going to the hospital for a pretty big surgery tomorrow. I am getting a traecheostomy. Heavy times for our family.

    My parents never made much money, but we kept a roof over our heads because we lived in a rent-controlled apartment. Landlords cannot be allowed to raise rents to whatever they want, whenever they want. We need national rent control.

    😮 housing plan directs $50 billion to community land trusts. And lots, lots more. Like $1.48 trillion (trillion!) over 10 years to the National Housing Trust Fund.

    There are 3,000+ counties in the United States. A minimum wage worker can afford to rent a one-bedroom home in just 28 of them. That is a national crisis. My plan will build the nearly 10 million new housing units our nation needs to guarantee housing as a right.

    This plan will have an outsized effect in CA, where the twin crises of affordability and homelessness have reached a breaking point: nearly 130,000 people are experiencing homelessness and renters need to earn $34.69 per hour to afford the average two-bedroom apartment.

    It comes as no surprise that Donald Trump's racism and xenophobia knows no bounds. I look forward to continue working with Rep. Omar long after Trump loses in 2020.

    This is from a CBC event we hosted this weekend to celebrate black women in Congress. The President of the United States is continuing to spread lies that put my life at risk. What is Twitter doing to combat this misinformation?

    When I was a young man I had a job pushing crates of soda onto a truck from a warehouse, and my wages were very good. When I asked someone why, they said, “You’re working at a Teamsters shop.”

    A note to anyone who wants to use union members as a wedge to oppose : has one of the best plans in the country, but management can still use it to hold workers hostage. puts power back in our hands.

    NEW: GM is cutting off striking workers' health care coverage effective today. The UAW will now pick up the bill for their members' continued healthcare through COBRA. This development shows just how costly this strike will be to both sides.
