Poll after poll shows Americans support Medicare for All.
66% - KFF poll
59% - Wall Street Journal poll
60%, including 87% of Democrats - Economist-YouGov poll
It’s time for Democratic leadership to listen to the American people and PASS IT.

I’ve seen some of my colleagues say @SecWar Hegseth has been effective and they agree with the war, so they’ll vote not to impeach.
That’s not the question though. The question is whether he committed impeachable acts, and the answer is yes, eight times:

Leaving two deeply unpopular corporate, pro-Israel New York Democrats to lead both the House and Senate right now would be badly misreading this moment and fumbling a historic win, and even they know it.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

When you pay taxes for universal healthcare, it's not "paying for lazy peoples' healthcare" you're literally paying taxes for your own healthcare instead of premiums, copays, and deductibles.
Why can't people grasp this?
Look at it as benefitting you and your family, not other people. You're actually saving more money with higher taxes for healthcare than the current for-profit system now.

Bernie Sanders: “At the top of my list, and I expect to become chair of the Health, Education, Labor Pension Committee, is the need to finally do what every other major country does and that is guarantee healthcare to every man, woman, and child as a human right through a payer program”

Trump’s 1.5% victory in 2024 was a mandate. Democrats’ 13.5% victory in 2026 is not.

Why are some Americans scared of universal healthcare?
I think they don't understand how it works. All they hear is higher taxes. They don't understand that paying slightly more in taxes would mean paying little to nothing in healthcare costs and be a net gain in their bank account.

The two worst presidents were handed to us by the electoral college.
Both men were the most incompetent and detrimental presidents we’ve had lead this country.
Bush was just stupid Trump fascist scum for sale.
We can prevent this by removing the electoral college.

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations.
How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

I have thought this since I was a kid 50 years ago, would be incredible if it finally changed.
The Electoral College is a fraud, it's bullshit. If you think it's about state representation, you're wrong. small states already get guaranteed equal representation in the Senate. The presidency is a different institution, with a national constituency.
If you believe every American deserves an equal voice in choosing their president, why should crossing an imaginary state line change how much their vote matters?
The federal government encompasses ALL states, so it's fraudulent to use a system to split the popular vote into an electoral numerical vote. The only reason they do that is because one side understands that they would almost never win the popular vote because their policies are NOT popular with most Americans.
Under the Electoral College, a Republican voting in California or a Democrat voting in Wyoming has almost no practical chance of influencing which candidate receives that state's electoral votes.
Understand? It's fucking stupid and it's a scam.
