Perhaps the guys from Ben and Jerry’s or someone will invest in your design and start a company called “Bernie’s Mittens.” The money could be used to support progressive causes.

The pens are given away as commemorative items to people who have a hand in whatever action is being signed off on by the president.

Just so everyone is clear, this could have been done many months ago and hundreds of thousands of deaths ago.
BREAKING: Pres. Biden signs executive actions on coronavirus response, including invoking Defense Production Act "to direct all federal agencies and private industry to accelerate the making of everything that's needed to protect, test, vaccinate, and take care of our people."

Classic deflection. You’re one of the main reasons they have to be there.

Bingo.
@SenSchumer must be as ruthless helping Americans as McConnell was harming Americans.

Thank you @RepKatiePorter for your principled vote; in addition to all you noted, he’s been serving as a board member at Raytheon which should totally disqualify him. Democrats being such ardent supporters of the military industrial complex is very disturbing. #WeMustNotBeSilent
I voted no on a waiver for Gen. Lloyd Austin to serve as Defense Secretary. Civilian control of the military is one of our founding principles, and more transparent and thorough debate in the House was needed before green lighting a recently retired general to head the Pentagon.

Don’t take your eyes off this for even a minute...
As millions of Americans celebrated @potus's inauguration, some of my former colleagues in the health insurance industry were quietly celebrating some news of their own: their *most profitable year ever*. That’s right: insurance companies made a fortune during a pandemic. (1/11)

Thread. We must do something about this. @tedlieu @RoKhanna
THREAD: A federal court just affirmed a *9 year* prison sentence for a blind man in Los Angeles for failing to inform authorities supervising him "within five working days" that he had become homeless. (1)

This is a horrifying story. Is there any way that any of us could help rectify it for him?

People begged Trump to use the Defense Production Act to help deal with Covid; he wouldn’t do it because he didn’t want to mess with “the free market.” Biden is totally right to do it, treating Covid like the national emergency that it is. google.com/amp/s/thehill.com…

Absolutely true. But his full on efforts to deal with the economic despair of the Great Depression is exactly the model we need now. “It’s time to be fairly radical for a generation.”

It’s the only way.
We should eliminate the filibuster.

I love this: FDR over the fireplace in Biden’s Oval Office. Yes!! Go full on FDR, @JoeBiden!

I disagree with you, Hal. I made it clear I was voting for Biden and I was thrilled he won. But those who want to support him moving in the direction we care about shouldn’t have to apologize for that. He has FDR’s portrait over the fireplace in the Oval now.

Important new congressional candidate! @GaryChambersJr is capable of changing how Congress works. He’s passionate about the #GND and so much more. Please help him raise the money to get out his message. Every bit helps. chambersforcongress.com/ bit.ly/2FFYK09
