    At the end of the day, we have one life to live, and you ask yourself, what role do I want to play? That role must go deeper than defeating Trump. We must create a country where people are working to take care of each other.

  • This year alone, 19 transgender people in the U.S. have been violently killed. That is a tragedy and an outrage. When we are in the White House will make it clear that every murder of a transgender person will be investigated by the Department of Justice as a severe hate crime.
  • When politicians like Trump say we must cut food stamps, Medicaid and public housing, it's not because we don't have the money. We're the richest country on Earth! It's because they refuse to stand up to their billionaire donors, who hoard wealth and stash it in tax havens.
  • No person needs to have tens of billions of dollars while others sleep out on the streets. We're going to tax the ultra rich and use the revenue to guarantee decent housing for all.
  • Mental health care shouldn't be a privilege for the wealthy. It should be accessible to all. Medicare for All will guarantee mental health coverage to every person in this country, free at the point of service.
  • It's not coincidental that the top health care CEOs made $1.1 billion last year while 4 in 10 cancer patients lose their life savings due to treatment. Our system is designed to take money from sick people and put it in the pockets of rich executives. We need Medicare for All.
  • Let me congratulate the on their support for Medicare for All. When every American has comprehensive health care as a right, unions will no longer have to spend enormous amounts of time and energy fighting to maintain their employer-based health insurance benefits.
  • Playoff baseball comes to our backyard.
  • Irresponsible corporate greed threatened the health and safety of 800,000 Californians. Meanwhile, PG&E has paid out billions to its shareholders. My Green New Deal will build a 21st century energy grid that will deliver clean, reliable power to all.
