is my good friend. He & the mine workers came out early on voting rights. This is not about Democrat vs. Republican. This is about humanity. We join the miners in their call on
In response to Joe Manchin this morning Bernie Sanders says we have a corrupt political system bought and paid for by Insurance and fossil fuel industries. Manchin is a political grifter. #Cnnsotu#BuildBackBetter
Joe Manchin announced his decision not to support #BuildBackBetter on FOX NEWS this morning. That’s right. FOX NEWS. Thus ripping away all illusions that he is a Democrat and further cementing the undeniable reality that he is a raging fucking asshole.
work to bring down the biggest costs families face. Our #BuildBackBetter Act takes historic actions to make health care, child care, prescription drugs and housing more accessible and affordable.
The #BuildBackBetter Act is fiscally responsible legislation. There is a cost to not making child care more affordable, not reducing prescription drug prices, not investing in clean energy and green manufacturing, and not cracking down on wealthy tax cheats.
My full statement:
Privately Senator Sinema has been telling people it’s not just her and Manchin who are opposed to #BuildBackBetter — many of their Democrat colleagues are opposed as well, but afraid to speak up. She tells them they’re “hiding behind her skirt.”
I’m the House sponsor of the #BuildBackBetter Act, and I can tell you that Joe Manchin’s reasons for opposing this legislation are complete BS. I don’t know if he doesn’t get it or just doesn’t care, but the American people will pay the price.
Alaska, Mississippi, Kentucky, WV, Montana, Indiana, SC, Louisiana are in the top 10 states most dependent on federal aid. The common factor is they are all represented by Republican Senators who refuse to pass #BuildBackBetter & keep millions of kids out of poverty.

We continue to stand w/ immigrant families who have been fighting for decades for a meaningful solution to fix our broken immigration system. The immigrant community has dealt w/ political setbacks but they have never given up. We need Senate Democrats to fight for immigrants now
The defeat of the #BuildBackBetter legislation is a triumph of democracy. A bipartisan coalition of 51 Senators shut down a scheme by a minority in the Senate to ram this through with the help of media pressure. Fortunately democracy prevailed and the majority got its way
are actively working to lower prices and costs for the American people with the #BuildBackBetter Act.
On the other hand, Republicans have no plan to help struggling families — and they’re rooting for higher prices and costs.
The story of the #BuildBackBetter has yet to be written. Let’s examine the 50 Republican US Senators who are voting against lifting children out of poverty, education,elder care, affordable prescription drugs, child care & family leave? What does this mean for YOUR STATE?
President Biden gets it. Families are watching closely as they deal with COVID's impact on prices in the U.S. and globally.
His #BuildBackBetter vision is about bringing down costs for middle class and working class families and growing our economy for all Americans.
Last year while middle-class Americans continued to struggle through the pandemic, many of America’s largest corporations banked record-breaking profits—and paid $0 in taxes. This isn't fair. My Corporate Profits Tax in #BuildBackBetter will ensure this doesn't happen.
