🚨NEW: A new poll Americans’ support for Medicare For All has intensified to the point where the old attacks may no longer work.
As both parties legislate criticism of socialism, there has been a 50-point shift on a key question in just 6 years.

When health care companies pull in trillions while families struggle to afford basics, the system is broken.
It's time to crack down on corporate greed and finally pass Medicare for All.

This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.
After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

Something that must change in Democratic politics is the belief that democracy is “drama.”
Primaries and challenging leadership aren’t “drama,” it’s democracy.
