Do not let Republicans tell you they're not going to touch Social Security.
I introduced an amendment to explicitly prevent any cuts to Social Security. But every Republican on the Budget Committee voted against it. And it was defeated in the Rules Committee by the Republicans.

Nancy stepped aside when her time came. Joe stepped aside but made the decision too late in the game. But it seems that Schumer is stubbornly going to hang on no matter what, and what the base wants doesn’t seem to matter a whole lot.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.
