Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Michael Bennet: I really am a Bolshevik. I believe we should provide universal healthcare to all Americans as a right. There is no reason not to do it in the richest country in the world, especially if we can do it at half of the cost of care we are providing now.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
