Does it make any sense to you at all? If you are a diabetic living in England, you're able to get a vial of insulin for around $7. But if you're a diabetic here in the United States, you pay $98 for the EXACT SAME insulin? How crazy is that? We must end the greed of Big Pharma.

20 years after taking out student loans, the typical white borrower owes about 5% of their debt. The typical Black borrower owes about 95%. Because of the wealth gap & systemic discrimination, Black students go into more debt & have a harder time paying it. #CancelStudentDebt

How can it be that in Canada, the same exact medicine, manufactured by the same exact company — not a generic — can cost 1/10 what it costs here in the United States? The answer is simple. The greed and the power of the pharmaceutical industry.

You ready for a radical statement? Here we go. An asthma inhaler that is sold to the Canadian people for just $27 should not cost the American people $242 for the EXACT SAME inhaler.

Is anyone in the United States Congress willing to tell me with a straight face that “yeah, the American people enjoy paying some of the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs?” Totally absurd.

We're now 2 yrs into the decisive decade. Emissions should be in an unprecedented fall, instead we're seeing the 2nd biggest rise ever recorded. We're wasting invaluable time pretending we can solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis. World leaders are still in denial.

This pandemic has shown us clearly the vulgarity of our healthcare "system." Highest costs in the world, yet not enough nurses or doctors. Many millions uninsured, while insurance company profits soar. The struggle continues. Healthcare is a human right. Medicare for all.

It was nearly 70° in Alaska just a few days ago. Cities in Colorado are overrun with wildfire and hundred mile-per-hour winds. Anyone who denies that we are in the midst of a large-scale climate crisis is not living in reality. We need bold climate action and we need it now.

Here's an idea- How about instead of regulating gay kids, women, and books about slavery, you fucking regulate the gun that killed 17 at my high school and over 20 little kids at sandy hook.

Decades ago, Congress voted to authorize the executive branch to cancel federal student loans.   Federal student debt can be canceled with the flick of a pen.   President Donald J. Trump must use his authority to cancel student debt and provide millions with badly needed relief.

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away. It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized. People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

Student loan payments start up in 30 days. We’ve survived 2 and a half years without paying our students loans, President Donald J. Trump should just cancel them altogether.

—Seniors on fixed incomes still paying down student debt. —Teachers struggling to afford childcare and student loan payments. —Parents who co-signed their kids' loans & can't retire. Student debt cancellation is a kitchen table issue and President Donald J. Trump must #CancelStudentDebt.

While the price of a bag of Snickers has more than doubled, Republicans want to give the Mars family, who became 44% richer during the pandemic and are now worth $106 billion, a tax break of up to $42 billion by repealing the estate tax. Yes. Trickle down economics is very scary.

The 158-member House Republican Study Committee released a budget this year to: -Cut Social Security by $729 billion -Cut Medicare by $2.8 trillion -Give a tax break of up to $1.75 trillion to billionaires This is not how you improve the economy. This is how you make it worse.
