@WhatHoARat Of course. The only question is how much

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump's right: The easiest way to save money is to eliminate the "Billions and Billions" in corporate welfare Elon Musk has received.

Musk's right: Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" is a "disgusting abomination" that must be defeated.

Let's do both. It'll be a win-win for America!

So, you know.
If there's anything crazy posted I'd like to shuck the blame.

Sanders: We’ve got a president of the United States who—

Crowd: Boooo

Sanders: I agree

[Acyn @Acyn]

Sanders: I want to say a word about Alexandria

Person in the crowd: Future president

Crowd: *cheers*

I'm no mathematician, but I do know this: 99% is a hell of a lot bigger than 1%.

Together, the American people can defeat Trump's advances toward authoritarianism and create an economy that works for all of us, not just the billionaire class.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Great turnout for our rallies against oligarchy in Nebraska and Iowa — and this is just the beginning.

Blue state, red state, or purple state, the American people do not want Musk and his fellow billionaires running our country.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Our healthcare system is already broken.

Republican cuts to Medicaid would be devastating.

Millions of children would lose their health coverage, nursing homes would shut down and hospital bills would rise.

NO CUTS TO MEDICAID TO PAY FOR TAX BREAKS FOR BILLIONAIRES.

[Trump Lie Tracker (Commentary Account) @MAGALieTracker]

Wow. Thousands of people showed up in DC today to protest Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of our government. More of this. It’s time to rise up!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Musk & his fellow oligarchs feel entitled to power, control & wealth. In other words, they think they're modern-day kings.

They think it is their RIGHT to rule.

I'm LIVE on the Senate Floor to discuss oligarchy's war on the working class. https://t.co/HmjFMNdnAi

I've been given the chance to read something which hasn't come out yet and I cannot wait for it to be bestowed upon the world.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

News flash: On Tuesday night, regardless of what the vote tallies say, Trump will declare victory. 

He will claim the only reason he may lose is “vote stealing.”

Undermining the legitimacy of an election is how demagogues destroy faith in democracy.

Kamala for President.
