Manchin rails on “revenge politics” over the energy project permitting deal he cut with Schumer. Said he’s “never” seen stranger bedfellows than “the extreme liberal left siding with Republican leadership.” He said the text of the deal “will be out tomorrow.”

If you think climate protesters are inconvenient, just wait until you see what unmitigated climate change will do to our lives moving forward. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climateemergency #climate #energy #GreenNewDeal


Updated letter from House lawmakers opposed to Manchin’s “dirty side deal” on fossil fuel permitting but still no sign of @chelliepingree. That’s disappointing, though certainly not too late to join this fight. naturalresources.house.gov/imo/media/doc/…

History will remember Bernie Sanders as the guy who fought for the Biden agenda till the very last second and Manchin as the guy who weakened it.

Oh my, it's gotta be the world's biggest unsolved mystery. It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that all of these other countries guarantee healthcare as a right or that 338,000 US lives could have been saved if we enacted Medicare for All during the pandemic. Nah...

Don’t arm teachers, pay them more.

If student debt cancelation was actually a gift to the rich, Sen. Blackburn would be all for it.

Canceling student loans is a gift to the rich and unfair to students who worked to pay for school.

Aw man, are you kidding me? The neo-libs are angry tonight. They won't be satisfied until they induce a massive recession by forcing 45 million Americans to resume $1.9 trillion in student loan payments, jacking up interest rates & slashing Social Security. Fuck austerity.

Susan Collins is the con.

Does Susan Collins keep getting conned? Or is she in on the con?



It’s true.

Progressives don’t take corporate PAC money.



And yet we fight on for the better world that people need. It's gonna be a long, long fight but we'll be better for it.

Re Israel’s looming annexation, BDS Movement’s Omar Barghouti says, “Israel is guilty of the crime apartheid ... that triggers consequences, very serious consequences in international law, including sanctions.” Interview with @theintercept’s @ggreenwald: bit.ly/31pKc0I

And a reminder that we are currently heading towards at least 3 to 7 degrees warming. And that the net zero 2045/2050 goal literally condemn the peoples of the global South to extreme climate violence. This is why climate justice is a fight for racial & economic justice.

“At 2 degrees, it’s expected that more than 150 million people would die from air pollution, storms that used to arrive once every century would hit every single year, and lands today home to 1.5 billion would become literally uninhabitable.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…



Please explain the policy prescription that follows this fine statement, Mr. @joebiden. Cause you’re either talking #MedicareforAll or the full nationalization of the US healthcare system.

Health care is a right for all — not a privilege for the few.

In New York City, some 2 million residents — 1 in 4 — are food insecure. By mid-April, after a few weeks of quarantine, 38% of parents reported cutting the size of meals or skipping meals for their children because they did not have enough money for food. interc.pt/3hOgTuH
