NEW: A majority of voters (63%) support a Medicare for All system that would:
- Eliminate most private insurance plans
- Replace premiums with higher taxes

- Eliminate most out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles

Americans finally recognize the unique cruelty of our healthcare system and an overwhelming majority now support Medicare for All.
I believe there should be a Medicare for All candidate on every Congressional ballot in 2026. I am running to make that a reality for my neighbors in Northern Michigan.

Your American tax dollars at work, executing Palestinians in the West Bank.
Send me to Congress, and not only will I remove the stain of complicity put on Northern Michiganders by Jack Bergman, but I'll support bills to sanction the government of Israel over human rights abuses.

🚨 Watch: Footage from Palestine National TV shows Israeli soldiers executing two detained Palestinians in cold blood during a raid in Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank today.
Their hands were raised, they posed no threat, and Israeli soldiers murdered them anyway.

Exciting to see Seattle piloting bold housing reform.
These efforts should be empowered nationally by a renewed focus on public housing , deploying HUD resources to eradicate homelessness and guarantee affordable housing.

Seattle’s newly elected city attorney says she will reverse her predecessor’s policy of barring people suspected of certain crimes from entering parts of the city. “I will not criminally charge someone for being in an area they’re not supposed to be.”
Progressives Win in Seattle, Changing Directions on Public Safety

More and more working Americans are finding themselves unhoused. It's time we treat the housing crisis as any legitimate crisis: deploying the resources of the federal government to eradicate homelessness and unrigging the game for working-class homebuyers.

This seems like a fine time to point out that we are currently enduring CAPITALISM.
Features include: billionaire capture of government, dwindling public services, stagnant wages, huge job cuts, medical & education debt, housing crisis, food insecurity, and vanishing retirement.

4 senior House Dems — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, & Ted Lieu — voted for a Republican-led resolution to “CONDEMN SOCIALISM,” a symbolic measure that passed the chamber on Wed. The vote comes as NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with Pres. Donald Trump at the WH today.

Members of Congress should not be allowed to own individual stocks or cryptocurrencies. It is legalized corruption and insider trading which is at odds with their responsibility to serve the American public.
A week before he voted to cut Medicaid, Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan dumped up to $130,000 worth of stock in four companies that manage nearly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the country.

This all-but-guarantees huge increases in healthcare costs, uninsured Americans, chronic illness, and avoidable deaths. It's unsustainable.

"I want smaller government"
Brother, your government has never been bigger. It grows every year.
They cut Medicaid and close your hospitals so they can give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy and enrich war profiteers.
Meanwhile, you pay the same taxes, you just get less of it.

A funny (if not unexpected) part of the campaign so far:
Telling regular working-class people that they are being exploited by billionaires and deserve to have universal healthcare, living wages, and a dignified retirement...
...then having them ask whether I'm running Democrat or Republican.🧵
