What happened to Senator Padilla is an escalation of this administration’s intimidation tactics.
Fire the civil service.
Threaten to imprison judges.
Handcuff senators who ask questions.
Will any Republican speak up for our democracy?

Republicans want to cut Medicaid, nutrition & education to give a TRILLION dollars in tax breaks to the 1% & large corporations.
Now they’re going after Medicare, which would make our broken health care system even worse. Thousands will die unnecessarily.
We must stop them.

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests.
It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism.
All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death.
Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

Medicare for All means Medicare for ALL — not some, or a few, or most.
Health care is a human right.
Every other major country recognizes that.
It's long past time the United States does as well.

The GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” would be the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history.
On average, someone in the top 0.1% would gain around $390,000 next year.
But someone in the bottom 20% would lose $820, and nearly twice as much—$1,545—in 2033.

As Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill moves to the Senate, we must make it clear: There is nothing “beautiful” about giving huge tax breaks to billionaires while cutting health care, nutrition and education for working families.
It is grossly immoral and, together, we must defeat it.

Understand this: Republicans in Congress want to rip health care away from babies, new mamas, and seniors in nursing homes to help billionaires buy more yachts. That’s the “big, beautiful bill” they’re trying to pass.

Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

If someone makes it really, really, really big—bigger than millions and billions of dollars big—they should pitch in a fair share so everyone else has a chance. Then we can invest in child care, education, affordable housing, and neighborhood businesses to level the playing field.

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%.

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty.
It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon.
That is morally obscene.

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).
