Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

This is simply revolting, and utterly indefensible. If you disagree, then so are you.

Kemi Badenoch says we can save £9 billion by reducing support for people who need it, even though as a nation we spend so much less on welfare support than similar nations
What Kemi Badenoch won't tell you is that if you tax wealth over £10m with a 2% tax, you'll generate over £24 billion

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:
1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.
Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

Commerce Secretary Ludnick, a billionaire, said today that if his 94 year old mother-in-law didn’t receive her social security check next month she wouldn’t say anything. He said only criminals would complain. That is BS unless you have a relative who’s a billionaire. And we put our money into SS!

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).
