"If they pass this bill and kick 16 million people off health care, we will organize those people." - @RevDrBarber of @BRepairers at yesterday's rally against the big ugly bill, which the Senate just passed 51-50.

The Postal Service is: 🌎Our only universal delivery network 📦Deliverer of 1.2 billion packages of medicine a year 🎖️One of the largest job providers for veterans 🇺🇸Enshrined in the Constitution Privatizing the USPS would be an absolute disaster – especially for rural America.
The top capital gains tax rate of 20% is woefully low compared to the 37% rate on income from labor. New research from @impamodel shows that equalizing the rates could reduce federal deficits and even modestly improve economic growth. inequality.org/article/capita…
