#GVerse DEMOCRATS,

11 "or more" Democrats are reportedly breaking ranks and preparing to vote for Trump and against their own party and country.

They are getting nothing in return.

Zero gain on ACA subsidies.

They are giving up everything for nothing.

Contact them ASAP. Please share.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.

I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.

But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

We ran on making Cambridge an affordable and dignified city to live in, and making sure the most vulnerable people are heard. Everyday issues for working people were the driving force behind our campaign, and we will carry their voices into City Hall.

Voting is at the heart of Democracy and I want to thank everyone who voted on Tuesday. I also want to congratulate everyone who ran for City Council and School Committee. Putting yourself out there takes courage, and every candidate deserves respect for stepping up to serve their community.

Thank you to everyone who made this win to keep fighting for an affordable, inclusive, and sustainable Cambridge on the City Council possible.

I’m so grateful to every person who knocked doors, wrote postcards, donated, talked to friends & family, and voted

SPEAKING OF Elections, I'll try to reprise my #cambma Election Night coverage. Like x.com/johnhawkinso...

If you're available to visit your polling place shortly after 8pm tomorrow night & help crowdsource photos of the machine result tapes, that would be very helpful. Hit me up if you can assist.

The Trump Administration would rather starve children and families than lift a finger to help them put food on the table.

I’m declaring a State of Emergency to use every tool we have to help the three million New Yorkers losing food assistance because of the GOP shutdown.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.
