I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Social Security is the largest source of income for most beneficiaries — and it keeps 22 million people out of poverty.
Meanwhile, Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won’t care if they don’t receive their benefits.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”
It’s who our government is for.
Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy.
It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.
