You’ve probably heard about big wins under the Biden-Harris administration like fighting climate change & upgrading infrastructure. Here are a few more ahead of the #StateOfTheUnion—and some that may have flown under your radar. Brought to you by a persistent grassroots movement.

By the way: six years ago today, Mitch McConnell banned me from speaking on the Senate floor after I started reading a letter by Coretta Scott King. He was trying to silence a whole movement. Nevertheless, we persisted. We took back power. And we’re using it to make real change.

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important.

We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵
1. We have to fight every fight in Congress. We won’t always win, but we can slow or sometimes limit Trump’s destruction. With every fight, we can build political power to put more checks on his administration and build the foundation for future wins.
During the Trump years, Congress stepped up its oversight of his unprecedented corruption and abuses of power.

Imagine you’re standing in the frozen food aisle, staring at a pint of ice cream. The price tag isn’t printed on paper, like usual—now it’s a digital display. With a camera pointed right at you. 🧵
It’s now more convenient for the store to change the price—how often do they take advantage of that? Does the price surge on a hot day? By how much?
If you pick up a pint even though the price has shot up, does the facial recognition software store your demographic data and use it to estimate how willing different customers are to pay certain prices?

You know who’s cheering for J.D. Vance? Billionaires. Election deniers. And anti-abortion rights extremists. But this pick is bad news for everyone else. Here’s why:🧵
Vance thinks seniors should get by with less—he’s called Social Security & Medicare “the biggest roadblocks to any kind of real fiscal sanity.” He thinks sick people should pay more—opposing the ACA, which Trump promises to repeal. And he wants more tax breaks for billionaires.
Vance thinks everyone should get by with less EXCEPT the billionaires. He’s backing Trump as he proposes another billionaire tax break that is worth $3.5 million apiece, every year—$3.5 million a year for every billionaire.

Don’t blame it on the endless shrimp.

Recently, Red Lobster declared bankruptcy, and even though it’s no laughing matter, the jokes practically wrote themselves—how could a company that offers endless shrimp NOT run out of money? But let’s look below the surface:
Red Lobster’s real downfall wasn’t endless shrimp—it was private equity’s endless greed.

You see, a private equity firm bought Red Lobster in 2014, & did their thing: looted profits, loaded Red Lobster up with debt, & saddled the restaurant chain with extra real-estate costs.
They followed a blood-sucking model that reaps rewards for private equity owners but leaves communities, workers, and customers holding the bag.

Recently, Donald Trump and President Biden both did in-depth interviews with TIME Magazine.

The difference was stark.

Let’s take a look. 🧵
Trump refused to rule out signing a national abortion ban, and he said he’d let states “monitor” pregnant women and pass dangerous restrictions.
And Trump invited violence—once again refusing to say he will accept the outcome of the election when he loses.

When I first ran for Senate, I talked about the student in Worcester who worked hard to get a college education but was drowning in student debt. Now, I’ve helped deliver student debt cancellation for nearly 5 million hardworking people in Massachusetts and all across America.
When I first ran for Senate, I spoke with seniors in Barnstable who couldn’t afford their medicine at the end of the month. Now, I’ve helped deliver $35 dollar/month insulin and a $2,000/year cap on prescription drugs under Medicare.
When I first ran for Senate, I spoke with construction workers in Malden who struggled to find work. Now, under President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, I’ve helped bring home $20 billion for projects that are rebuilding our Commonwealth and creating good union jobs.
