We waste hundreds of billions a year on health care administrative expenses that make insurance CEOs and wealthy stockholders incredibly rich while 85 million Americans go uninsured or underinsured.
Health care is a human right.
We need Medicare for All.

Last year, Coca-Cola spent $327 million on advertising in the US while it raked in $9.5 billion in profits.
Not one of their ads will tell you that a 20oz bottle of Coke contains more than 15 teaspoons of sugar.
It’s time to take on the greed of the food & beverage industry.
For decades, the food and beverage industry has made massive profits by enticing children to consume unhealthy products purposely designed to be overeaten.
The time has come for the FDA to stop dragging its feet on addressing the obesity and diabetes epidemics in America.
Yes. We can cut military spending by targeting massive waste & fraud from defense contractors.
One example: In October, RTX (Raytheon) was fined $950 million for defrauding DOD, lying about costs, and paying bribes to secure foreign business.
RTX is not alone.
Former Israeli Defense Minister Yaalon is right.
Netanyahu's government is committing war crimes & ethnic cleansing in Gaza. You don't fight terrorism by starving people & killing tens of thousands of civilians.
I hope more Israeli military leaders will join him in speaking up.
Last night, 19 Senators voted to end illegal arms sales to Israel.
We stood up to AIPAC, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Biden administration.
We must continue going forward to end illegal arms sales and hold Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes.
