Today at #COP26 , the worldโ€™s biggest banks & investors took an important & necessary step to keep 1.5ยฐ alive. Climate change is a risk to everyoneโ€™s bottom line, but when we finance the green transition we all win. I hope more banks will join soon.

Pay everyone $1500 to get vaccine It is a stimulus check & big vaccine incentive rolled into one Result: more people get vaccine, it saves lives, helps people financially, and the $400 B pays for itself w/ economic boost from ending pandemic RT if you agree #vaccinestimulus

Biden's numbers would be stronger if some Democrats would wake up to the facts, stop blaming him for not doing more, and start realizing that he has the one of the thinnest Congressional margins in history! In that context, what he has done is very significant.

Advice for how to think about the stimulus bill: THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE IN GOING TOO BIG AS THE GOVERNMENT CAN BORROW FOR FREE BUT THERE IS MASSIVE DOWNSIDE IN GOING TOO SMALL AS LIVES ARE AT STAKE AND A DEAD ECONOMY IS HARD TO RESTART. This is a asymmetric economic decision.

There are many things we need to do on gun safety, including requiring liability insurance to own/purchase a firearm (like we do to own a car). It would probably cost an average hunter $5 a year, but if you have a history of hate crimes it would be cost prohibitive. Commonsense.

At a minimum, we have to be tolerant of different views on achieving the same goal: universal healthcare. That's why I responded to @aoc tweet with a debate offer. This isn't about slogans - people's lives are at stake. We need debates and the truth

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me...." A good reminder from the Gospel of Mathew.

The better answer is to invest in more affordable housing, change zoning laws and accelerate/simplify permitting.

IMO most voters in America are center-left: they are socially liberal (pro choice, etc), want a strong private market economy, a strong national defense, fiscal prudence, a progressive tax code & sensible climate action. If the Democratic Party aligns like that it will win big!

"Should billionaires exist" was another pointless question from the debate. Think about the absurdity of that question. It may be an interesting question for a PhD dissertation, but does it have anything to do with improving people's lives. Has everyone lost their minds?

As a former CEO, if I heard an employee say any of these things they would be fired on the spot. Why is our president not held to the same standard as the rest of the country?

By any measure, Elizabeth Warren is crushing this debate (even if I don't agree with all of her positions). Buttigieg is probably doing second best.

If we run on class warfare, single payor healthcare or everything for free we will put Trump on a glide path to reelection. The American people want a positive and commonsense vision for our future, based on real solutions not impossible promises.

Thank you, @JayInslee , for your incredible dedication to highlighting the threat of climate change. It was great getting to know you on the campaign trail, and your voice will be missed as the primary continues.

April and I had a truly joyous day yesterday as we celebrated the beautiful marriage of our daughter Summer to Nick. We are so happy for them, proud of them, and everyone in attendance was moved by the depth of their love and commitment to each other. It is a blessing.

2/2 We should create a universal federal health coverage plan that every citizen gets for free but allow people to keep their private health insurance plans if they prefer. If the federal plan is great then everyone will decide to drop their private plan and use the federal plan

Medicare4All, free 4 year college, discharging all student debt, & eliminating fossil fuels in 12 years are either bad ideas or impossible promises. Universal healthcare, free community college, student debt relief and net zero CO2 emission by 2050 are good ideas that can happen.
