Defeating Donald Trump

Let’s be very clear about this: Donald Trump is an existential threat to our democracy. His behavior is unbecoming of an American president, and his clear disrespect of our founding principles is beyond explanation. He needs to go. I just finished my virtual speech at our pre-Democratic Natio…

Taking a stand

Over 5.4 million of our fellow Americans have lost their health coverage in the middle of a global pandemic. Any platform that did not include Medicare for All – a guarantee that no American would die because of their inability to afford care – is out of step with this moment in history. Last…
