Private equity greed is driving up rents, pushing families from their homes, and breaking up communities. It's legalized looting—profiting off the backs of families. It's time to rein in private equity, and I've got a plan for that.

When billionaires and giant corporations don't contribute their fair share, it means that paying for our roads, schools, and firefighters falls on the rest of us. I've got plans to root out the corruption in Washington so that they pay their fair share—same as the rest of us.

Since it was signed into law in 1935, Social Security has been one of the most successful programs in our history. Everyone must be able to retire with dignity. As president I will fight—as I have my entire political career—to not only protect Social Security but expand it.

If you have health insurance, you'd think you can go to the doctor when you need to. Nope! Not if you have an outrageous deductible that you cannot afford. We are going to eliminate deductibles, premiums and co-pays with Medicare for All.

He sells troops. “We have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia—I said, listen, you’re a very rich country. You want more troops? I’m going to send them to you, but you’ve got to pay us. They’re paying us. They’ve already deposited $1B in the bank.”

Matt Gaetz hasn’t changed his position on war powers. He had the same position when President Obama was in office. It’s the constitutionally conservative position. For that—for consistency—he faces the GOP’s wrath. Only Trump matters. Even the Trumpiest congressman gets no pass.
After Rep. Matt Gaetz circulated an email to all other Republican members urging them to vote to curb Trump’s Iran power, other Republicans fought back, private emails show. Gaetz was ratted out to White House. POTUS not happy. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Instead of defending the law of the land, the Trump Justice Department is *fighting to tear down* the Affordable Care Act — to erase pre-existing condition protections, end the ban on lifetime limits of coverage, and destroy all its other protections. #ProtectOurCare
