Sen. Bernie Sanders

The Democratic Party needs a new and bold direction. I will not support Chuck Schumer’s reelection as Democratic leader.

Do we hold Trump accountable for his corruption and unconstitutional actions? Absolutely. But we cannot stop there. We must address the economic crises facing working families. It’s not acceptable that 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck while billionaires get richer.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing. All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

66% want Medicare for All 61% want a billionaire wealth tax 57% want a $20/hour minimum wage 63% want a data center moratorium 58% want to end military aid to Israel 73% want to ban super PACs 79% want a 10% credit card interest rate cap No more excuses. Democrats must deliver.

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations. How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

U.S Minimum Wage in 2009: $7.25/hr U.S minimum Wage in 2026: $7.25/hr U.S. Billionaire Wealth in 2009: $1.27 trillion U.S Billionaire Wealth in 2026: $9.15 trillion Our job: Pass a billionaire wealth tax & raise the minimum wage to at least $20 an hour. No more excuses.

7 months ago, AOC and I introduced an AI data center moratorium. Last night, 43 of 44 communities voted for one locally. Americans don’t want Big Tech oligarchs wrecking the environment, gutting jobs and threatening humanity’s future. NATIONAL DATA CENTER MORATORIUM NOW

President Trump claimed that AI oligarchs could regulate themselves because they “love our country.” Now, Google is threatening schools: if you stop your students from using AI, we will cut off your access to Google Search. That’s not love. That’s extortion. PAUSE AI NOW.

Regardless of one’s political point of view, there is widespread agreement that we have a corrupt campaign finance system. Our job: overturn Citizens United, end super PACs and move to public funding of elections. Democracy means one person, one vote. Not billionaires buying elections.

Instead of building more AI data centers, which 66% of Americans oppose, I have a better idea. Let’s build 7 million affordable homes & apartments. Let’s build more hospitals, schools & childcare centers. Let’s create an economy that works for all, not just the top 1 percent.

While gas prices are up 39% since Trump started his illegal Iran War, Exxon’s profits are up 130%, Chevron’s are up 185% and Shell’s profits nearly doubled. Working families struggle while Big Oil rips them off. Trump’s response: “I don’t give a damn.” Beyond unacceptable.

He's right. Instead of spending billions on bombs, let's take care of America's working families. END THE WAR IN IRAN NOW

Trump claims we’re now “paying the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world.” He lied. We pay the highest. Now, Trump is trying to prevent 4 million Americans from buying prescription drugs from Canada and other countries — where prices are up to 10 times cheaper. Outrageous.

Companies like Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon, SpaceX, Oracle & Nvidia have racked up $3 trillion in debt on a high-stakes gamble on AI. Big Tech Oligarchs: If your AI bet fails, don’t come begging to taxpayers. You won’t be bailed out — period. End of Discussion.

Big Oil spent $450 million to elect Trump. It was a great investment. While working families pay outrageous prices at the pump and for home heating oil, Trump’s illegal war in Iran has nearly TRIPLED oil industry profits. Together we must stop corporate greed.

Trump screamed at a reporter, called him a “sick guy” and said he looks “like hell” after he asked an innocuous question about the President's travel. This is not normal behavior. The American people are FED UP with Trump‘s narcissism, incompetence and greed. ENOUGH.

Since Trump’s election: -Musk got $617 billion richer -Bezos got $144 billion richer -Page got $127 billion richer -Dell got $123 billion richer -Brin got $116 billion richer How are you doing? Let’s stop oligarchy. We must create an economy that works for all.

Trump promised his $920 billion corporate tax break would create jobs. Another lie. Amazon Tax break: $17.5 billion Job cuts: 30,000 Meta Tax break: $13.7 billion Job cuts: 10,000 Verizon Tax break: $2.5 billion Job cuts: 15,000 UPS Tax break: $130 million Job cuts: 78,000
