The US spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. Yet 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured and 68,000 die each year because they can’t afford a doctor.
Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.

This absolutely should happen - but we live in America, so it probably won't. Nixon was the last GOP president who was held even semi-accountable for his crimes.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Trump is deporting Venezuelans to El Salvador, branding them as gang members without investigation. Meanwhile, El Salvador’s Justice Minister admits the crackdown imprisons innocent people knowingly, calling it part of the process. Some detainees rot for two years without trial.

Some of the nation’s oldest and wealthiest institutions are swiftly bending to President Donald Trump, who is acting on longstanding conservative criticisms of universities as elitist and progressive.

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).

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.
