[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Congratulations to Graham Platner on his landslide victory in Maine.

Together, we will defeat Oligarchy and create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

AI data centers are doubling electricity demand.

Private equity executives see a cash grab.

They're buying up utility companies to cash in on the energy surge and pass costs to consumers while making services worse.

I’m fighting back.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

I am supporting @grahamformaine today because of his passion for opposing war.

An honest conversation about the human toll and his journey.

Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed our campaign for the US Senate.

We’re building a big tent to take on this corrupt system that Ken Paxton embodies.

From the Texas Tribune:

After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas....
USDA reversed course in Feb 2025, after Trump took office, announcing opening of ports"

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

For years, CEOs have sold a story that a $15 minimum wage would kill jobs.

The Washington establishment bought this trickle-down lie, and workers paid the price.

But the evidence debunks that myth.

It's long past time to raise the minimum wage.

[Pitchfork Economics @PitchforkEcon]

Sing it from the rooftops.

[YES on SQ 832 @raisethewageok]

Folks from across Oklahoma are voting YES to raise the minimum wage to boost our economy, strengthen our cities, support working families, and make our state more competitive.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

In the richest country on earth, 20% of our seniors should not be forced to live on $15,000 a year or less.

We must lift the cap on taxable income, increase Social Security benefits, and strengthen Social Security's solvency for generations to come.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.

According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.

Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.

Then came the admission.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."

A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.

That's a remarkable accusation.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Graham Platner: “The fact that Jeff Bezos exists and the fact that I know someone in Sullivan who works three jobs and pays 60% of her monthly income in rent, those two things are directly connected. There is no metric of hard work that justifies a billionaire when people in Eastern Maine work three jobs just to put food on the table”

Put price fixing inside an algorithm, and apparently, you can call it innovation.

A new lawsuit alleges that major insurers used a shared algorithm to suppress out-of-network payments, leaving patients exposed to higher costs. ⬇️

[YES on SQ 832 @raisethewageok]

NEW: Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols is voting YES to #RaiseTheWage to help Oklahoma families, small businesses, and our whole economy.

[YES on SQ 832 @raisethewageok]

"Business owners, single moms and full-time students can all agree on one thing: If passed, State Question 832 — which would raise Oklahoma’s minimum wage to $15 an hour — will change their working lives."

[Astead @AsteadWH]

We should say it: candidacies like Graham Platner in Maine or Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan have not grown in spite of establishment targeting, but somewhat because of it.

Base anger after 2024 is palpable. And some Democrats want not just an elected who will oppose Trump and Republicans, but one who will also change their own party from within.

After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever

Pope Leo XIV arrives Saturday in Spain, where he is expected to focus on the treatment of migrants and polarization in politics – themes likely to cement his pontificate as a counterweight to the Trump administration. https://t.co/1ej7oVqudZ

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: Too often, a working New Yorker is trying to find any extra dollar they can to make ends meet—then they look at city government and they don't see the same application of effort. This is the city charter. This is close to 800 pages. A charter revision commission is a review of the charter. In these 779 pages, I’m sure there are opportunities for government efficiency.

[Bobby Clark @bobbyprogress]

@Acyn Every Dem should embrace this approach. We can support an active role for government AND focus on efficiency and saving money at the same time. It’s imperative we do.

[Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies]

We don't need leaders to go after people relying on SNAP benefits.

We need leaders who go after the billionaires paying people so little they need SNAP.
