It is not utopian thinking to say that every American should have health insurance as a right. It's a reality in many countries already.

If Republicans want to throw millions off insurance, cut Medicare, defund Planned Parenthood—we will not let them get away with it.

I worry very much about the future of democracy in our country. But I also know there is a strong desire among young people to protect it.

Anybody who knows anything about American history knows the serious issues people have stood up to confront, and that's where we are now.

Progress has been made but the fundamental task of taking on the 1% and the greed of the billionaire class still needs to happen.

Greed is a very powerful force​. But ​our vision of a nation & world based on economic, social and environmental justice is more powerful.

2017 will be pivotal. Either we'll move toward oligarchy or millions of Americans will stand together for a government which represents all.

Let me take this opportunity to wish all our friends a healthy and happy new year. Let us go forward together in 2017.

The poverty we have today is big enough a problem without climate change making it much, much worse.

If the GOP moves forward with their plans then they will have tens of millions of people without insurance or higher premiums to answer to.

The #Fightfor15 started only 4 years ago. But huge progress has already been made because people everywhere see the justice of that idea.

I wasn't aware of the part of the Gettysburg Address where Lincoln talked about a country of, by and for the billionaires.

It's an indictment of our broken health care system that low-income Americans' their biggest fear is getting sick or being in an accident.

Your constitutional rights don’t depend on your race, gender, income, sexuality or religion. I can’t believe we still have to say that.

Why must we guarantee health care as a right? Because people who can’t afford care deserve to live as much as those who can.

When people put their lives on the line to defend us, the president must listen to them, not to the Koch brothers & their extreme ideology.

Privatizing the VA would be an insult to the more than 22 million veterans who risked their lives to defend our country.https://twitter.com/bkesling/status/814279654119014400 …
