High-deductible plans, which expanded under the ACA, are the very definition of health insurance you can’t use, another way of being underinsured. #singlepayernow

"I'm very supportive of Bernie's run," she said Sunday. "I haven't endorsed anybody but I'm very supportive of Bernie."

She said she also likes Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. She said what Warren "is bringing to the table" is "truly remarkable and transformational."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says Joe Biden run in 2020 election wouldn't 'animate me'

Ocasio-Cortez said she understands the appeal of the "idea that we can go back to the good old days." But "I want to go forward," she said.

It would take the typical worker at Gap or Mattel nearly ten years to make what their CEOs make in a single DAY. That is grotesque. This level of inequality, where workers are locked out of the profits they produce and all new wealth goes to the most powerful few, is not only immoral and unacceptable — it is a real threat to our economy and democracy.

Michelle DePass and Shanice Clarke are both such qualified candidates for the Portland Public School Board (Zone 2) that for the first time, we are offering a dual endorsement in the May 2019 election, because both candidates received virtually the same number of votes from BerniePDX members.

Both are women of color who are deeply involved in the community and education — Michelle as a fourth generation PPS student and parent who has been involved in advocacy and volunteered in schools, and Shanice as an educator and advocate.

Michelle and Shanice are passionate about centering the needs of the most vulnerable students, including students of color, houseless students, and those from low-income backgrounds. They both oppose the presence of School Resource Officers in schools, and they support raising taxes on the most privileged in our community to properly fund our schools.

If elected, Michelle would focus on the priorities listed above, and on the achievement gaps that are systemic in PPS, while Shanice is also passionate about creating wraparound services to aid students in crisis. Most importantly, both women are committed to changing the systemic issues in Portland Public Schools that have left so many students behind.

These candidates represent the values of BerniePDX and we are proud to endorse Michelle DePass and Shanice Clarke.

Deb Mayer also requested an endorsement from BerniePDX for the Portland Public School Board (Zone 3). Unfortunately, it was after our endorsement process. BerniePDX is excited that more progressive candidates are stepping up to bring fresh perspectives to all levels of government, and we wish Deb the best.

"Maybe this proved the central point of Sanders’ campaign rhetoric: that the American people writ large, not just progressive Democrats, really do want the government to guarantee them a certain standard of living."

Bernie Sanders’s Fox News town hall wasn’t a debate. Bernie won anyway.

Sanders was sincere with the audience, gracious to his Democratic opponents, and as prickly as ever to his Fox News hosts.
