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).

I’m confident of three things when it comes to Jesse Watters.

1. Tim Walz would kick his ass back to middle school.

2. He’s clueless about what makes a man “real.”

3. He’s never given a woman an orgasm and probably thinks that’s what “real men” are like.

A word…

We can be good Democrats and still demand better from the party. In fact, that’s what being a good Democrat is—fighting for its future, pushing for stronger leadership, and calling out those who are failing us.

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

Stewart-Cousins: My father had Social Security in the amount of $300. Like Lutnick said, he would not have called if he did not get the Social Security check. He had dementia. But the people who take care of him would have called because it made the difference of him keeping a roof over his head

these responses get blocks now; i'm done with it.

if the best way that you can deal with the actions of this administration is to clog up my replies with your incredulousness that court orders even matter, well, then you don't need my reporting on court orders.

The Trump admin playbook: gut civil service to crush public education, derail lifesaving research, pollute our air and water, and make it harder for veterans, working families, and small businesses to access the programs they rely on—all to pay for a tax break for billionaires.
