    Our campaign is grassroots funded: That means no fancy fundraisers, no PACs, no federal lobbyists. Our big quarterly FEC deadline is tonight. Will you chip in $3 before midnight to help power our grassroots campaign?
  • When you find a good one, grab them and hang on.
  • Thank you, , for such kind words! Proud to have you with me in this fight.

    Singular They is Simple. Kind. Respectful. Presidential. 💛🌈🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸😌
  • Americans don't trust their government precisely because of this. My plan to end Washington corruption would ban members of Congress from serving on corporate boards and owning or trading individual stocks. No exceptions.
  • Facebook's anti-competitive mergers mean they face no real pressure to tackle disinformation. They won't even do the bare minimum to improve transparency. Tech giants shouldn't be able to wield enough power to undermine our democracy.
  • So many incredible LGBTQ+ Americans have fought for big, structural change so that everyone could —and I’m honored to keep up the fight.
  • I won't let giant corporations dictate our trade policy anymore. I'll use America's leverage to support working families, protect the environment, and raise the standard of living across the globe.
  • Saddened to learn of the passing of Enrique Fernández-Toledo. He was a champion for Puerto Rico, especially in the island’s time of need. I greatly valued his insights and advocacy, and my heart goes out to his family and friends.
  • Imagine Facebook and Instagram trying to outdo each other to protect your privacy and keep misinformation out of your feed, instead of working together to sell your data, inundate you with misinformation, and undermine our election security. That's why we need to .
  • My plan to would undo their illegal, anticompetitive mergers. You'll still be able to use Facebook and Instagram to catch up with friends and family and share photos of your dog. But they'll have to compete with each other to make a better product for you.
  • Zuckerberg himself said Facebook is “more like a government than a traditional company.” They’ve bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, undermined our democracy, and tilted the playing field against everyone else.
  • Facebook is doing pretty well right now. They've acquired potential competitors WhatsApp and Instagram. More than 85% of all social networking traffic goes through sites owned or operated by Facebook. They've got a lot of power—and face little competition or accountability.
  • Let's talk a bit about my plan to and why it's got Mark Zuckerberg so worked up.
  • We have to fix a corrupt system that lets giant companies like Facebook engage in illegal anticompetitive practices, stomp on consumer privacy rights, and repeatedly fumble their responsibility to protect our democracy.
  • I loved being a teacher—and I’m humbled to see some of my former students joining the fight for big, structural change!
  • Washington, D.C. has over 700,000 residents—more than Wyoming or Vermont. They pay federal taxes. They deserve an equal voice in our government, and I'll fight until they get statehood.
  • My heart goes out to the families and friends of those we lost during the shooting two years ago today. I'll keep fighting to end gun violence in America.
  • I'm not afraid to hold Big Tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon accountable. It's time to :
  • What would really “suck” is if we don’t fix a corrupt system that lets giant companies like Facebook engage in illegal anticompetitive practices, stomp on consumer privacy rights, and repeatedly fumble their responsibility to protect our democracy.

  • I’ll see you at Pride, Las Vegas!
  • Nevertheless, we persist!
  • Loved talking with Collyn from Dorchester, Massachusetts! Collyn chipped in $25.75 to our grassroots campaign, so I called to say thank you. We both agreed: It’s time to make our government work for all of us.
