Ok now I *can* put a hard number on it:

10,512 people came out to hear @BernieSanders in Warren, MI today.

Negative flake rate. Attendance exceeded RSVP.

We had to turn away 2,500 people at the door.

I am proud to endorse my friend and mentor, @BarbaraLee_CA, for Oakland Mayor!

She has been our champion in Congress for nearly 30 years, delivering real results on public safety, on housing, and for families.

Please join me in becoming a Day One donor to her campaign: https://t.co/U3LJotQeuA

#TMKrishna sang the famous lines of Murugan, “sundhadhiram vendum, ...." (we need freedom to speak anything, write anything, sing anything, read anything, and hear anything), the packed auditorium broke into a lengthy applause.

@weeklyshowpod @SenSanders Finally the 'almost' mainstream 'liberal' media is listening to @SenSanders

Retirement is a necessity, not a luxury. Rising prices should not push it to the back burner.

It’s time to support my plan with @SenSanders to smash the cap and increase and expand Social Security benefits.

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

Cutting wasteful funding and saving taxpayer money is not a partisan issue. We need to work with @elonmusk and @DOGE to breakup the five primes’ oligopoly and hold defense contractors accountable

The top 1% of Americans have taken $50 trillion dollars from the bottom 90% in the last 50 years.

And you wonder why people in this country are angry?

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Countries at least as patriarchal as the US have elected women as presidents: Pakistan, Brazil, UK, Chile, S. Korea, Philippines, India, Israel, Germany, and Mexico just this year.

Yet Dems will do anything to avoid self-reflection after losses so they blame voters' misogyny:

🚨Canada PM Justin Trudeau asked about ICC warrants against Israeli leaders + if he will allow Canadian law enforcement to arrest them:

"…it's really important that everyone abide by international law…we will abide by all the regulations & rulings of the international courts."

Where is the International Criminal Court?

British surgeon Nizam Mamode broke down in UK Parliament, describing Israel’s quadcopters DELIBERATELY TARGETING CHILDREN who had just been bombed.

Given that Kristi Noem will be running Homeland Security, I think this is for the best: everyone in DC is well-advised to leave their dogs safely at home.

@RoKhanna But good time to rethink what the people really want!

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

In states that Trump won, we saw voters go to the ballot and approve measures to raise the minimum wage and require paid sick leave.

These are popular, populist ideas. Let’s get back to that economic agenda and fight to deliver for working families.

Jon Stewart can't believe there are pundits who think the Dems went too "woke." All they did was copy Republicans!

[Zephyr Teachout 🇺🇸 @ZephyrTeachout]

Chuck Schumer should resign as party leader. When there's an electoral disaster of this scope, you can't just continue as is.

Also, it's time for economic populism at the head of party, and that's not Chuck, to put it mildly.

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Wow. Democratic senator says the quiet part loud and admits why the party is terrified of populism: “populism is bad for our high-income base.”

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Bernie Sanders responds to Nancy Pelosi's statement that "I don't respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class."

SANDERS: "We have not even brought forth legislation to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, despite the fact that some 20 million people in this country are working for less than $15 an hour in America today...if you're an average working person out there, do you really think that the democratic party is going to the mats, taking on powerful special interest and fighting for you? I think the overwhelming answer is no."
