Money out of politics! Money in your pocket! Medicare for All!

I would rather live in a society where, rather than a billionaire making a second billion, I'm invested in a public school.

I want to make sure everyone can breathe. Right now, you have an economy where people are getting choked out because they don’t have the basic means for a dignified life.

The argument that I think we continue to need to learn is that less war in the world is usually safer.

Why are we fighting this war, to what end?

We’ve got an opportunity to build the kind of politics we need and deserve.

They’ll pay $200 for someone to waste his money, show up and heckle me.

“Instead, they want to point to me, and they think that that distraction is going to last long enough,” he said. “The reality is, when they point to me, all I will be talking about is getting money out of politics, put money in your…

“They want to talk about me and my name as if me and my name are causing the problems. They are not. The problems are in fact caused by their boss, Donald Trump, who they cannot deviate from because, of course, he rules their party with an…

“Low-T JD. It’s always funny, man. He just brings the energy down every time you hear him talk,”

Standing together, we have an opportunity to say loudly that every single person in these United States, in the richest, most powerful country in the world, deserves to know that they’re going to get their healthcare without having to…

AI corporations are figuring out how to use their algorithms to inflict prior authorization on everybody in the system, trying to figure out how to automate the incredible work that you all do every day.

I wanted to be the kind of doctor who worked on the system, not just in the system, because too often the question of whether or not you get access to that system is a function of the choices that we make that are outside of our control.
