Only a billionaire who looks out only for himself and his billionaire pals would be so out of touch as to call Americans’ concerns about affordability a “con job.”

it is a positive sign that all of the big three democratic governors seem very aware of what time it is, I think.
Everything's on the table.
Republicans are using every method they can, whether it's cheating or breaking the law.
We've got to do everything we can to stand up and fight back — we're not sitting around and complaining from the sidelines when we have the ability to stop them.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
