As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.

All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations.

How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

7 months ago, AOC and I introduced an AI data center moratorium.

Last night, 43 of 44 communities voted for one locally.

Americans don’t want Big Tech oligarchs wrecking the environment, gutting jobs and threatening humanity’s future.

NATIONAL DATA CENTER MORATORIUM NOW
