Being anti-Trump is not good enough. Democrats need a progressive agenda.

[Team AOC @TeamAOC]

People can't afford groceries. People can't afford rent.

Why should this president take another billion dollars more from our health care and put that toward a ballroom when the American people are already struggling?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Net worths of the AI oligarchs joining Trump on his trip to China:

Elon Musk: $828 billion
Jensen Huang, Nvidia: $195 billion
Tim Cook, Apple: $2.9 billion
Dina Powell, Meta: $200 million

Do you think they’re losing sleep over the millions of jobs AI could replace?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Amazon cut 30,000 jobs & got a $7.8 billion tax break

Meta cut 8,000 jobs & got an $8 billion tax break

PayPal cut 4,800 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes

Disney cut 1,000 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes

Corporate tax breaks don't create jobs. They enrich the 1%.

Fantastic that Louise Arbour will be the new Governor General. She is one of the great Canadians of our time – and in so many ways.

Obama unveiling an oligarch-funded shrine to himself amid everyone in America being fleeced by oligarchs is an almost too-on-the-nose bookend of a presidency that bailed out its Wall Street donors who were throwing millions of Americans out of their homes.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Khanna: "No. I'm not supporting new funding. The answer for every Democrat should be 'absolutely no.' It's $400 billion for a war we oppose? We could have universal childcare for that. We could have free public college for that."

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

When Americans stand up and fight for justice, we win.

We took on a king.
We ended slavery.
We built unions.
We won voting rights.
We secured LGBTQ rights.

Again and again, Americans fought back — and won.

We can do it again.

[David C Unger @DavidCUnger]

@davidsirota Not just against some specific bad thing but also for some specific good things

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Health care? "You're on your own."

Housing? "Nothing we can do."

Grocery prices? "You're out of luck."

$200 billion for another war? "No problem!"

Americans—Democrats, Republicans, independents—are SICK AND TIRED of endless wars.

We need to invest here at home.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion.

For $22.8 billion, we could:

• Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids
• Build 2.6 million public housing units
• Fund Head Start for 1.3 million
• Hire 240,000 teachers
• Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Last year, Tesla, Ticketmaster and Palantir made billions of dollars in profits, but paid ZERO in federal income taxes.

Do you think Trump will address this outrage at his SOTU address? I doubt it.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

California is proposing a 5% wealth tax on 200 billionaires worth $2T to protect health care for 3M people.

Let’s get it done—and make billionaires finally pay their fair share. https://t.co/DPY7EN4KQ1

[Wake Up Patriot 🇺🇸 @WakeUpPatriott]

🚨BREAKING: Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) just proposed a bill that would REQUIRE the President to get Congressional approval for new tariffs.

Do you support this bill?

YES or NO?

Yes , Give me a Thumbs-Up 👍

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Last night, my amendment to repeal ICE’s $75 billion funding increase and reverse cuts to Medicaid won the support of every Senate Democrat — and two Republicans.

That didn’t happen by accident. It happens when people organize and demand change. The struggle continues.

[Chase Madar @ChaseMadar]

The likely next Speaker of the House is Hakeem Jeffries and he is plainly not up to the task. Gutless, bad communicator, incompetent staff.

Who in the Dem caucus is a better and viable alternative?

[Lina Khan @linamkhan]

Rep. @AOC is right. Vertical integration in healthcare has created deep conflicts of interest.

As our @FTC work revealed, these conglomerates have massively inflated the cost of lifesaving drugs.

Rooting out these conflicts will mean better, more affordable care for everyone.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital CEO pay: $26.3 million
Montefiore CEO pay: $16.7 million
Mount Sinai CEO pay: $5.4 million

Let’s be clear: These hospitals are not going broke. They can afford to provide their nurses with benefits and safe patient ratios.
