The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world.
Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior?
These people are unfit to govern.

Democrats should be leveraging the 250th, especially next year's Independence Day anniversary, for the midterm elections. The language of resistance, rights, and freedom is tailor-made for the present moment. Embrace it!

As Waukesha DA, Elon’s minion, Brad Schimel gave a plea deal to a man charged with child porn—after the man's lawyer donated $5,500 to his campaign. That’s not justice, that’s corrupt & disgusting .

They disappeared a barber who entered the US legally and had committed no crime.
He was immediately tortured in a Salvadoran prison as he cried out for his mother.
It’s the Trump Administration that is not only breaking the law by denying people due process, but committing crimes against humanity.

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).

The reality here is very simple: Trump thinks there is no limit on his power, that he can spend money how he likes, jail who he likes, rule by fiat, criminalize criticism of himself. He is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution. And we can either acknowledge that or keep pretending he isn’t.
