Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year.
That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined.
It’s more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks.
It’s more than 2 million janitors’ paychecks.
Billionaire greed is out of control.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history.
It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy.
There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was.
Today is one of those days.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Van Hollen is doing what every other democrat should be doing under this lawless power grab. The future isn't meeting the right half way like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, it's having courage like @vanhollen.senate.gov. Go back to El Salvador. Go see Kilmar again, Andrys and everyone.

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.
They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires.
That is something that the American people — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — will never support.

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).

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?
