I am excited to endorse @BernieSanders for our next President of the United States. Bernie has spent his career fighting for working people and standing up to corporations and special interests. He has the grassroots energy and the vision to inspire voters across America.

Those who believe @BernieSanders is surging b/c of anger at the status quo misunderstand the depth of his message. He is offering a vision of a more righteous America —one not at war, where healthcare is a right, education is exalted, and climate change is an urgent priority.

We got some explosive admissions about the President, his son Donald Trump Jr., and Allen Weisselberg’s criminal conspiracy for financial fraud.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): Are you telling us, Mr. Cohen, that the president directed transactions in conspiracy with Allen Weisselberg and his son Donald Trump, Jr. as part of a criminal conspiracy of financial fraud, is that your testimony today? Cohen: Yes.

The unemployment rate for those looking for full time jobs that pay a living wage, but are unable to find one, is a staggering 22.8%. Again—it’s not a labor shortage, it’s a living wage shortage.

My question to those who support intervention in Venezuela because people are starving: Where is your outrage for the 14 million Yemeni civilians at the brink of starvation because of our intervention and support of Saudi Arabia in Yemen?

Come on ⁦ @PeteButtigieg ⁩. It is intellectually dishonest to compare Bernie to Trump. Bernie is for giving people healthcare, education, childcare, & more pay. He wants to blow up credentialed elitism — those who reject tuition free college for all.

Private equity firms could own 40% of single-family homes by 2030. If we don’t act America will become a nation of renters putting the American Dream further out of reach. We need to pass the Stop Wall Street Landlords Act.

I'll say it again: if we can give $740 billion to our defense budget, we can find the money to send life-saving aid to Americans in need. Stimulus checks and enhanced UI now.

We blundered by overthrowing Mossadegh in 1953. We blundered by supporting the Shah for 25 years. We blundered by arming Saddam to fight Iran. We blundered when we invaded Iraq. We must stop the next blunder before it occurs: No war with Iran.

Here’s what pundits who say @BernieSanders was “angry” last night don’t understand. There are many voters like my father who told me this morning, “someone needs to be angry about the corruption and greed in this country.”
