How can we host the Olympics and World Cup when Trump is now banning so many fans from other countries from attending? And would others even feel safe coming?

The emails obtained by our Committee are damning. Acting Social Security Commissioner Dudek called the Governor of Maine a “petulant child” and then he canceled Social Security contracts with the state in retaliation for getting under Trump's skin.

There were four Republican-backed extreme constitutional amendments on the ballot in Louisiana yesterday.
The voters REJECTED them all (in a state Trump won by 22 points in November).
Keep the pressure on.

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).

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
