New - @BernieSanders to unveil new mega tax on America’s ~1,000 billionaires, would raise $4.4 trillion
Potential marker for other candidates who do run in 2028, @RoKhanna is introducing House version
$ would be directed to:
- $3K stimulus checks per person earning under $150K/yr
- Expand Medicare to cover dental/vision/hearing for all seniors
- Ensure every public school teacher gets paid at least $60K/yr
- $850B for affordable home construction (“abolish homelessness”)
- Universal childcare
- Reverse Trump Medicaid cuts
President Trump was right in 2020:
"We've spent $8 trillion in the Middle East and we're not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we're not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It's crazy."
Until the law enforcement establishment conducts an honest reckoning with its dark history, encomiums to police heroism will continue to alienate wide swaths of American society.

Our healthcare system kills 68k people a year and leaves 100M in debt
Family health plans cost small businesses $24k per family plan per year
Doctors waste 9 hours a week on red tape
People hate it
Businesses hate it
Doctors hate it
Only the people profiting from it, love it
Major media outlets are giving endless coverage to UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder while taking millions in health care industry advertising. They’re silent about the real story: how profit-driven health care kills 68,000 Americans every year. https://t.co/0gjunpjiwW
If I were the democratic party and I was trying to win elections, I would be reading the countless horror stories that people are sharing about their experience with private insurance…and consider supporting single payer healthcare. Maybe we can call it “Medicare for All” idk
