I used to negotiate union contracts. I would have loved to focus all our bargaining power on wages and working conditions instead of health care. Medicare for All will make unions stronger, and help workers win more at the table. Pete is totally wrong on this.
There are 14 million union workers in America who have fought hard for strong, employer-provided health benefits. Medicare for All Who Want It protects their plans and union members' freedom to choose the coverage that's best for them.

Let's be clear. Warren's plan to achieve Medicare for All is superior in every way to what Sanders is proposing here -- her plan is politically feasible, fully funded, expands Medicare faster, 3 year transition instead of 4 years.

I was in a bar yesterday and every TV in the place was turned to FOX News -- which was running wall-to-wall coverage of BIDEN scandals, and not mentioning one word about Trump. When Democrats stay silent, Republicans run the narrative.

Biden ran on one message in 2020 ("beat Trump") and barely squeaked out a win by 44,000 votes in 3 swing states.
And Democrats lost a *lot* of Senate, House and state races because “beat Trump” doesn’t work down-ballot when the rest of the party message is so moribund.
Lots of tweets about the NYT Poll. Very few of them mention that even at 33 percent approval, Biden beats Trump.
