    I attended and taught at America’s public schools, and I believe in them. That's why I've got a plan to invest in public schools and ensure every kid in America has the same access to a high-quality public education.
  • I'm not taking a dime from federal lobbyists, corporate PACs, or PACs of any kind—because our campaign is powered by the people, not special interest groups with Big Money to spend. Chip in now and I might just call with a big “Thank you!”
  • I'm grateful down to my toes for your support, ! Looking forward to the day doesn't have to fight with the president of the United States on Twitter.
  • Good. Now it's time to end all ICE contracts with private detention providers. No one should profit off of our inhumane immigration policies.
  • Facebook's own employees know just how dangerous their policy allowing politicians to lie in political ads will be for our democracy. Mark Zuckerberg should listen to them—and I applaud their brave efforts to hold their own company accountable.
  • I've been a teacher, a law professor, a senator, and a candidate for president of the United States thanks to the opportunities a public education gave me. Today's your last chance to get our free sticker to show you're !
  • Climate change is making wildfires larger and more destructive. We have to act now to end this climate crisis.
  • Senator Kay Hagan was a tireless fighter for women, veterans, and military families, and a dear friend and colleague. I'm heartsick for Kay's family and friends.
  • Frances Perkins saw what was broken in our country and had a plan to fix it. One woman—backed by millions of people—was able to make big, structural change. And we can do it again in 2020.
  • John Conyers fought to make our government work for Black Americans as a civil rights leader and co-founder of —and that important work continues to inspire us. I’m keeping him and his loved ones in my thoughts.
  • Our students shouldn’t have to worry about where they’ll get their next meal. Under my public school plan, we’ll cancel student breakfast and lunch debt and provide free and nutritious school meals so our kids can succeed in school.
  • When someone is sent into our criminal justice system, it's not a single person. When a person is arrested, we have to think about how that pulls their entire family into the system—and how that family is treated.
  • Thank you students for asking important questions at the Second Step Presidential Justice Forum. We can start to fix our criminal justice system by investing not in incarceration, but in services that lift communities up. My plan for that:

  • (2/2) Baghdadi's death closes one chapter, but it is not the end of our fight against terrorism. We need a settlement that ends the suffering and destruction in Syria—and ultimately, a long-term plan to counter extremism and allow the region to achieve peace and stability.
  • (1/2) Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi led a campaign of mass violence and terror that devastated the region and threatened the world. His death is a setback for ISIS and a victory for justice. I am grateful for the skill and courage of our special operations and intelligence professionals.
  • Happy Diwali! Bruce and I wish all who celebrate a joyous holiday.
  • One year ago today, eleven people were killed at the Tree of Life synagogue. They were observing Shabbat at a place that should have been a sanctuary. We have to end gun violence—and we have to speak up against hate, bigotry, and antisemitism.
