The American people know that our current health care system is broken and extremely expensive. They understand that health care is a human right.
A recent poll shows that 6 in 10 back Medicare for All.

6 in 10 Americans Back Medicare for All — Poll
The poll's results stand in stark contrast to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," which cuts federal health care spending.

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

This. Contact your senators demanding they make @schumer.senate.gov step down as Senate minority leader. If they don't, we need to make sure they are ALL primaried from the left. I personally will not be supporting anyone who does not support #universalhealthcare. #votethemout
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

If you are a voter who typically votes democrat and have a Dem. senator, email and/or call them to demand the @schumer.senate.gov step down as minority leader immediately. He is clearly not able to do the job effectively.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

At least we know there's one person who gets it
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

For those of you in NYC not sure about Mamdani's idea for a millionaire tax, I would urge you to read this article about the same tax that was instituted in my home state of MA just 2 years ago. Spoiler alert: it's delivering better than expected. #taxtherich

Nearly three years after its passage, it’s becoming clear that the millionaires tax has been a total success, and an incredible benefit for our state’s businesses.
