OSU alumni with pictures of Lex Wexner with Jeffrey Epstein…are demanding answers and justice. Powerful people may try to bury it…but…when thousands show up shouting…nobody looks away. Truth doesn’t fade under pressure. They demand Wexner testify about allegations against Dr. Richard Strauss.

Musk paid an effective tax rate of 3.3%. Bezos paid 1%.

How? Taking out tax-free loans against their stock.

I'm introducing the ROBINHOOD Act to tax these loans and generate $276B for universal childcare and programs to restore access to the American Dream.

Billionaires must pay their fair share.

It's time.

Extend the ACA subsidies to buy time and get to work on #MedicareForAll.
sanders.senate.gov Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 1d
At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor.

But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable.

That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.
