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).

Judge Theodore D. Chuang of the U.S. District Court in Maryland ruled that the Defendants’ unilateral decision to shut down USAID likely violated the US Constitution. Indefinitely blocked the agency’s dismantling and barred Musk’s staffers from accessing sensitive personal data maintained by USAID.

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA.
Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people.
This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become.
It's targeted harassment.

Trump fired hundreds at NOAA, Weather Service. Here’s what that means for forecasts.
Current and former agency officials and lawmakers said the cuts could have major impacts on Americans and the economy, compromising important functions.

During Rare Disease Week, patients and advocates were in D.C. for an event with the NIH, FDA, and HHS to highlight work being done on treatments and cures. It was abruptly canceled. Why? The administration fired the people organizing this important event and advancing this work.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?

This is worth celebrating! Some of the bad bills that would have rolled back voting rights, restricted reproductive freedom, dictated personal choices, and implemented Project 2025-style policies here in Indiana are dead this legislative session.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024.
The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth.
When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

This Black History Month remember human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the enslaved was legal. Prison slavery still IS legal.
Do not let legality & power be a measure of morality & justice.
