Donald, please, I’m asking you, come to Michigan.

I have a bad habit of reading; I’m so sorry.

In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m a capitalist who just knows about capitalism.

You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth.

So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite.

Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets.

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?

I see folks who are sick and tired of watching the president make light of our plights. I see folks who are sick and tired of having to worry about how they’re going to afford next month’s rent.

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.

In a University of Michigan Republican group chat, they pay them $200 to do exactly that.

“Mike Rogers, ‘Meek’ Rogers,” he said, “doesn’t really want to say anything in response to Donald Trump’s ridiculous policies that the 10 million people in this state whose votes he’s asking for are suffering under.”

“Strength is about being able to stand up to the problem. The problem is Donald Trump, and you don’t see much standing up to Donald Trump,” he continued. “Strength is not about punching down. Strength is about being willing to step up and…

“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.

I want to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, pass Medicare for All.

The fundamental corruption of our politics has been the system that allows corporations and would-be oligarchs and billionaires to buy politicians.
