This year’s elections are about defending our democracy and fighting for the changes families need in their daily lives. Today, I’m endorsing three candidates who know how to make our country work for everyone, not just the rich and powerful:
.@Andy_Levin fights from the heart, and he knows how to get results. He brings powerfully important experience to Congress—from union organizing & workforce policy to green energy entrepreneurship & human rights advocacy. I’m happy to endorse him for re-election. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Andy Levin for MI-11
As a former labor organizer, @GregCasar has always put working families first. That’s what he’ll continue to do in Congress, with a bold vision for Medicare for All, protecting reproductive rights, and standing up to powerful interests. I’m glad to endorse his campaign. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Greg Casar for TX-35
From raising her son as a single mother, to losing her son to gun violence, to beating breast cancer twice, @LucyMcBath deeply understands so many issues that touch people’s lives. She’s a fierce advocate for working families, and I’m proud to endorse her for re-election. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Lucy McBath for GA-07
Take a look at all the candidates I’ve endorsed, and get in the fight by their side: ewar.ren/endorsements-2…

Last night, I went to the Senate floor to talk about how our democracy is under attack. I read out loud from several articles on voter suppression taking place in state after state across the country. I want to share those articles here too. vox.com/22575435/votin…

Today, I’m introducing the #BuildGreenAct—a transformational investment in electrifying our transportation infrastructure. It would create around 960,000 jobs, save around 4,200 lives a year by reducing air pollution, and tackle the climate crisis head on. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
By electrifying buses, rail, and transportation infrastructure across the country, the #BuildGreenAct addresses two big challenges at the same time: our crumbling infrastructure and the climate crisis.
The #BuildGreenAct would create nearly 960,000 jobs—all paying at least $15 an hour, all guaranteeing paid leave, all ensuring fair scheduling policies. That’s part of how we #BuildBackBetter. That’s part of how we make our country work for working people.

Today, with @PramilaJayapal & @RepBrendanBoyle, I’m introducing a bill for a two-cent #WealthTax on net worths above $50 million—a few cents more for billionaires. This will raise at least $3 trillion to #BuildBackBetter and increase opportunity for all.

Right now, we live in an America tilted toward the ultra-rich and the powerful. The tax system is so full of loopholes and special breaks that families in the top 0.1% pay about 3.2% of their wealth in taxes while the bottom 99% pay about 7.2% in taxes.
Since the pandemic crisis started, billionaire wealth has shot up 40%, while millions remain unemployed and families struggle to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. It’s time for a #WealthTax to make ultra-millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share.

For nearly two years now, I’ve been calling to #BreakUpBigTech—including Facebook. I’d said before that the purchases of WhatsApp and Instagram should never have been approved and need to be reversed. Today, the FTC and 48 states agreed.

politico.com/news/2020/12/0…
Facebook is doing pretty well right now. They've acquired potential competitors WhatsApp and Instagram. More than 85% of all social networking traffic goes through sites owned or operated by Facebook. They've got a lot of power—and face little competition or accountability.
And they’ve wielded that power over everything—over our economy, our society, and our democracy. They’ve bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field. And in the process, they have hurt small businesses and stifled innovation.

Here’s a lingering effect COVID-19 will likely have on our economy: a rise in bankruptcies. The number of people filing for bankruptcy could hit records next year. Let’s talk about how my bill to overhaul consumer bankruptcy rules will help Americans get back on their feet:
Data show that families who declare bankruptcy aren’t reckless or irresponsible—90% declare bankruptcy for one of three reasons: a job loss, a medical problem, or a family breakup. This has been a problem for decades, and the pandemic will likely make it worse.
But right now, our bankruptcy system isn't working for working families. Many individuals and families who should file for bankruptcy don't, and many who do encounter obstacles that prevent them from getting the financial relief they need.

Holidays have been different this year. I’m holding onto joyful memories from years ago—like one time when my Aunt Max volunteered to handle the Thanksgiving turkey: Aunt Max shown in the middle of a sepia-toned family photo b
Aunt Max was funny and quick-talking. She never took anything too seriously, including time. And she wasn’t much of a cook, so the other sisters made sure that she was up to the task—peppering her with questions, making sure she'd get a big enough turkey.
Thanksgiving dinner was set for noon, and most of the family was there by mid-morning. The table was set. The sweet potato casseroles were out of the oven. The pies were on display. The Jell-O molds were out on special plates. Food was piled everywhere. But no Aunt Max.
