    Today, Bernie released his plan to reverse Trump's racist and xenophobic actions on immigration and fundamentally restructure our immigration system as we know it. This was my dad's life's work, and I'm honored to play a small part in it for Bernie.

    In a fast shrinking journalism world, Bloomberg News pays terrific wages and offers real job security. Bloomberg’s run will put a lot of reporters in a difficult spot. No reporter wanted to work at Starbucks next so the Schultz dunks were easy. This will be tougher for folks.

    He's right
    The billionaire class is scared and they should be scared.

    Three simple points: 1. The billionaire class sees the Bernie Surge in the polls and is terrified that Bernie is going to win. 2. More billionaires seeking more political power isn't the change America needs. 3. Bernie IS going to win. The end.

    This is exactly how our campaign and this mass movement deal with the billionaire class. We don’t negotiate, play nice or try to find some mythical middle ground — we confront them, fight them and win.

    A giant health insurance corporation is eliminating workers' existing health care coverage because the workers "had medical needs." I want you to really think about that.

    Like , . A century ago, my grandfather & his family immigrated from Russia to flee antisemitism. He earned a law degree & worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I'm proud to be a part of a campaign that is fighting for humane immigration policies.

    Bill Gates is worth $109B If Bernie's wealth tax was signed into law in '82 Bill Gates would be worth $9.9B. If Bernie's estate tax bill was also signed into law, when the Gates family inherits his wealth they would keep $2.5B - maybe a little less. I think they'll be alright.
    Fun fact about Bill Gates and capitalism. Decades ago he retired and began giving all his money away. He’s famous for that. Today he’s worth more money than the day he stopped working. Neat trick.

    We're having a big healthcare debate in America. Insurance-bankrolled Medicare for All critics are defending insurance companies. Somehow unmentioned: one of largest insurance companies is RIGHT NOW throwing Americans off their current health coverage.

    Insurance-bankrolled politicians who vilify Medicare for All never admit a taboo truth: their corporate donors can & do throw workers off their current healthcare coverage. Medicare for All would end that scam.
