Happy Monday! Let’s kick it off w/a Bernie Sanders accomplished a bunch list!

We see folks parroting old smears spread by that nasty Super Pac, saying the Bern achieved nada bc he’s an uncompromising ideologue who doesn’t know how to get things done./1

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation?

AOC: I don’t see how he has time to think about the financial prospects of the American working class when he’s focused on enriching himself.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.

Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.

We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.

We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.

Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.

That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

I recently spoke with @ilazer about the material consequences of committee hearings.

When I caught the head of the EPA red handed for colluding with Bayer, it helped blow up Bayer’s liability shield in the Farm Bill.

This is what accountability looks like when we come prepared.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Huge surveillance corporations like Palantir can use AI to increasingly track and record every aspect of our lives.

We cannot allow a handful of tech billionaires to destroy what remains of personal privacy in America.

[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?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

When Andreesen Horowitz, a Silicon Valley firm with $100 billion in assets, can spend over $115 million to buy politicians who oppose regulating AI & crypto, you know our campaign finance system is broken.

End Citizens United, ban Super PACs & get Big Money out of politics-NOW!

[Team AOC @TeamAOC]

The court in Virginia didn't overturn a map.

They overturned an election.

We should be clear about that.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Of course Trump, the narcissist in chief, doesn't think about the financial situation of Americans.

To Trump, it doesn't matter that the working class is struggling economically.

What matters to Trump is that his family got $4 billion richer since he was elected. That's it.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Warming up in a local Minnesota park for the rally with @peggyflanagan.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump is considering a large bailout for a multibillionaire dictator while he cuts health care for 15 million Americans.

This is insane. The working families of the United States need help, not one of the richest families in the world.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Maine just became the first state in the nation to pass a moratorium on new AI data centers.

The American people increasingly understand that these revolutionary technologies have got to improve life for all of us, not just make the richest people in the world even richer.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The rich are getting richer while working people are struggling to feed their families.

AI and robotics will make a bad situation even worse.
We need a new boldness in organizing workers.

With union solidarity we can have AI benefit all, not just a handful of billionaires.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Dockworkers on the West Coast broke every productivity record — and are now being replaced by AI anyway.

This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about eliminating workers.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages.

As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie.

Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like:

Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 billion in profit.

Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history.

That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran.

The answer is NO.

We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Sanders: You got people all over this country, 20% of households spending 50% of their income on housing. People can't afford health care. People can't afford childcare. And this guy, in addition to giving tax breaks to billionaires, now wants to spend another $200 billion on a war that should never have been fought.

[Team AOC @TeamAOC]

When there's so much despair in the air, we have to teach ourselves the skills necessary to build a new world — and petitioning is one of them.

Petitioning is the most basic building block of a political campaign and how we get on the ballot.
