989 billionaires are now worth 22% of our GDP. We have more wealth concentration than the gilded age.

Our immigration enforcement system is simply broken. The deportation of children and innocent families is inhumane and unacceptable. No small child should face a judge without an attorney. 
It’s time to abolish ICE.

3 wars: Iraq, Afghanistan, & Iran. 3 tax breaks to the rich: Bush, Trump, Trump $10 trillion cost to the debt. All Republican failures. They have caused the financial mess.

250 billionaires in California are worth $2.2 trillion. This is not a hard issue. They will be just as rich if they pay a 5% tax, and poor California kids + 3.5 million working families will get healthcare. Honored to join Bernie Sanders to Pass Prop 40.

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

This is why I get pissed off when anyone accuses me of being an elitist when I say young people should go to college if they can. I say that because my dad was a local lineman and contractor who did heavy physical labor for years and has had chronic back pain since his early 30s

ICE has shot another person, this time it was in Austin, Texas. His name is Wilber Garcés Pérez and he was shot while doing his job. He should be home with his family, not in ICE detention with no medical care. This chaos has no place in our communities.

High-quality child care is one of the best tools we have to make life more affordable for families. In the richest nation in the world, we should invest in child care like public infrastructure. That’s why I’m leading the charge on delivering child care for Americans.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

In 1988, California banned public financing of elections — one of the best methods to counter the power of Big Money. Voters can restore it this November by voting YES on Prop 4. Watch.
