Thank you, @rosadelauro for always being #NunsontheBus biggest supporter and fan, and for being such a champion for the common good.

My social justice values are deeply connected to my faith and upbringing as a Catholic. That’s why I joined @NETWORKLobby to reaffirm our commitment to the right to seek asylum, as well as health care, climate, economic and racial justice.

In Minnesota, students are fed breakfast and lunch – no questions asked. It’s saving families thousands and making parents’ lives easier. That’s an investment I’ll defend every damn day.

Sending profound, prayerful thanks to @POTUS for his many years of public service. Elected to the Senate the year NETWORK was founded, his commitment to the common good and promoting freedom is steadfast and will be felt for generations.

If everyone--regardless of race or zip code--is going to have the freedom to care for themself and their family, billionaires must pay their fair share of taxes!
BREAKING: Billionaire wealth in America has officially hit a record $6 TRILLION. Billionaires are now $3 trillion richer than they were before the Trump tax scam—and 9x richer than they were in 2000. Billionaires don't need more tax cuts. They need to pay their fair share.
