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).

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government.
An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts.
It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

Pete Hegseth is completely unqualified to be put in charge of the Defense Department. Make sure your senators hear from you. app.sosha.ai/s/v5dEgKdw

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board has endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General.
Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist.
Billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

The three richest men in the world are all genuflecting before Trump.
All to curry favor so they can maintain their control over our political and economic systems — and to avoid accountability for their abuses of power.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Trump EPA pick Lee Zeldin was reportedly paid tens of thousands of dollars by secret clients to write op-eds spreading climate denial propaganda.
Zeldin's benefactors could yield big returns if he guts environmental protections.
The conflicts of interest are just so blatant.

Trump's pick to lead EPA was paid tens of thousands to write op-eds criticizing climate policies and ESG
Former Rep. Lee Zeldin made nearly $200,000 from paid speeches and op-eds in recent years. Some of those op-eds were on climate-related topics.

It seems to me so many people have forgotten social security is not an entitlement. I paid in to SS with my hard earned $$ my entire career. If the orange turd & his cronies want to cut SS then I want them to hand over the cash I gave them with interest in a lump sum. Immediately. Not negotiable.

Americans have heard more about a totally imaginary and fake plan to starve western North Carolina of disaster relief than the Republican Party's absolutely real intent to starve California of disaster relief. Punishment for opposing them

I need to patronize a different oligarch. Michigan passed a "cage-free eggs only" law in 2019. It took effect on 12/31/2024. Imagine a Kroger store being unable to plan the inventory changeover and demand forecasting with 5 years to plan for it.
Upside? At least no eggs are cheap eggs. #DCMI

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month.
Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day.
A tale of two justice systems.
