To end child poverty you also need to end poverty for their parents. This means ALL poverty must be eliminated. What part about that is so difficult to understand?

You can get rid of your piece of shit CEO who just fired 1,400 people for rejecting his offer of a 3¢ raise while he continues to make $11 million per year. I'm boycotting this company until Kellogg's makes this right and anybody else reading this, I hope you'll do the same.

Progressives aren’t moving. “Members of our caucus will not vote for the infrastructure bill without the build back better act.”

It is obscene that no member of the Sackler family, which profited for years from the sale of OxyContin and at the expense of the suffering of millions, has faced criminal charges for their actions.

I am running to represent Kentucky in the U.S. Senate, because I know together we can end poverty, ensure financial freedom, honor healthcare and housing as a right, uproot hate and uplift humanity, and finally have liberty and justice for all. I humbly ask for your support.

Today, nearly one out of every four Americans cannot afford the medications that their doctors prescribe. Enough is enough. It is time to end the corporate greed of the pharmaceutical industry and lower the cost of prescription drugs.

I saw the pictures. I saw the whips being swung as patrol agents on horseback charged at desperate Haitian families seeking safety. The trauma is crushing. No human is illegal. To turn our backs is shamefully inhumane. We must meet this humanitarian crises, and provide asylum.

We continue to fight for a bill that meets the moment. That means adequately funding physical infrastructure, caregiving, housing, workforce development, and tackling the climate crisis. We have made it clear that we need to pass a big budget package alongside a bipartisan bill.
“The commitment on this strategy to move both of these pieces simultaneously still remains,” said Rep. Ilhan Omar, the Progressive Caucus whip. ow.ly/rqdL50G5AY9

The gap between the very rich and everybody else is wider than ever. Today, we have two people with more wealth than the bottom 40% and, incredibly, during the pandemic, billionaires have seen their wealth surge, while workers on the frontlines are paid starvation wages. ENOUGH.

I grew up on food stamps. I cannot fathom how someone could take joy in the thought of people starving. This isn’t a joke. This isn’t a game. If you want people to work, pay them a living wage.
Laura Ingraham: "What if we just cut off the unemployment? Hunger is a pretty powerful thing." Bar Rescue guy: "They only feed a military dog at night, because a hungry dog is an obedient dog. Well, if we are not causing people to be hungry to work..."

Today is another alarming day in our battle against COVID-19 as cases, hospitalizations and now deaths continue to escalate. I am reporting 2,961 newly reported cases of COVID and a positivity rate above 11%. We have to act now. Wear a mask when indoors and get vaccinated.

Our political task is not just to improve life for working families in terms of decent income, health care, education, etc. It is to change the political paradigm so that people demand their full rights as human beings, and not just scraps from the table.

Biden illegally bombed Somalia & Afghanistan last week. Now this week he is telling us he can’t extend the eviction moratorium because it would potentially be illegal. 🧐

I've been seeing covid cases in youth this week. Some of them vaccinated. Their parents express concerns about what things will be like when school starts up again. I don't have any reassuring words that I can share with them.

Kamala just named a Black Rock exec as her economic adviser--now a total of 3 BR people in top administration posts. BR bought up 10s of 1000s of foreclosed homes in the 2008 crash and *doubled* their profits? What do you think they'll do after evictions start...
