A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

If you still support Trump and his administration, we don’t have political differences — we have moral ones. Because racism, hatred, and incitement are not opinions. They are a character test. And you are failing it.

The amount the Trump regime has spent waging war on Iran could have... -Funded free school lunches for every child -Lowered health insurance premiums for 20 million people -Doubled the National Park Service budget -Fully funded public radio and television ...with money left over. Priorities.

We could eliminate $7 billion in medical debt with the $70 million they spent to beat me in the primary. Those same corporations and special interests are trying to buy the seat for Mike Rogers now. In November we teach them once and for all: Michigan is not for sale.

Gas prices are up 24.6% from a year ago and still significantly higher than they were before the Iran War. Meanwhile, the world's 8 biggest oil companies have made a $93B profit windfall in just the last three months. Big Oil is raking it in as the world burns — and we're paying for it.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

People don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into detention centers. They don't want billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a rogue police state. They want healthcare. They want affordable homes. They want their basic needs met.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

There has never been a single instance in history where the top .1% suffered due to high taxes. There are countless & ongoing examples throughout history where the bottom 90% suffered because the top .1% weren't taxed enough. This isn't complicated. Tax billionaires. Protect working people. Period

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30B/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $29B and counting It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

Two National Guardsmen were shot in Washington, D.C. Democrats immediately express their sympathy for the victims and their families. Republicans immediately spread conspiracy theories to blame Democrats for the shooting. Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

The Aurora from Longmont just now!

MEDICARE FOR ALL! Astronomical health costs and lack of access drive individuals, families and businesses past their breaking point, while insurance companies continue to soak-up billions of health care dollars, as millions of children’s basic needs go unmet. Medicare4All.org Also, restore SNAP now!

Elon Musk has acquired billions in government subsidies and tax breaks. Tesla shareholders will vote whether to make him the world’s first Trillionaire. The moral of the story is this: If you ask for affordable healthcare & food, you’re a mooch. If you ask for billions, you’re an entrepreneur.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year. Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase. This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

To the families innocent victims of Trump'sAbuse of Power BLOWING UP BOATS based on "alleged" drug smuggling - WE ARE SO VERY SORRY. Despite my deep embarrassment of being an American today, I pray a day will come when Trump is held accountable for these war crimes. American sucks right now.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

The GOP has been trying to kill Obamacare for 15 years. They need to just get over it. Tell Congress to cancel the GOP healthcare cuts and end Trump’s shutdown here: https://bit.ly/3IDECjz #TrumpGOPshutdown

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Society needs a reboot The economy needs a reset Civilization needs a restart We are on the wrong path We need to put the humanity back in humanity

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Trump is online positively wailing about this picture, because he is weak and vain and cares exponentially more about himself than anything else. That said, if there is something Trump does not want America to see, that means it is probably something every American needs to see. Please share widely.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Spot on.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

So if anti-fascists are Trump’s political enemies, what does that make Trump?

The Right grooms domestic terrorists. The Left wants everyone to have healthcare and education. See the difference?

Today would be a really good day to call your rep. If they're red tell them to sign the Epstein files discharge petition. If they're blue insist on the healthcare cuts being reversed permanently or not at all. Why on Earth give Americans just a few more months so the GOP gets reelected?

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Every single person attending the U.S. Open who has an ounce of patriotism or human decency now has a solemn obligation to boo until they run out of breath.

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:

Trump is 10 days older than I am. If he can cause as much mayhem as he does every day, the least I can do is make a bit of good trouble every day. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-i-cant-retire

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.

Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations. Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes. Protect mail-in voting at all cost.

The REAL STORY is STILL THIS: AND WE MUST KEEP IT THAT WAY.

It’s important to see Trump’s occupation of Washington, D.C., as a trial run for a possible military occupation of the United States. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-trial-run
