Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

After he gets done tanking the US economy--the strongest in the world a mere two months ago--Trump is going to tank the US dollar, the pillar of the global economy, by tying the federal government to crypto. This could trigger a crisis that will make 2008 look like amateur hour.

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: They're out there saying 'we just passed a bill to eliminate taxes on tips & taxes on SS benefits.' NONE of that's in the bill. But they deny that they're cutting Medicaid. So they want credit for popular stuff that isn't in the bill but ignore the deeply unpopular stuff.

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?

Elon's not prepared to deal with the reason why these protests are becoming popular: 1) We hate him. 2) We hate what he's doing to us. 3) We're broke. 4) He put convenient protest sites in hundreds of locations. 5) It's a great place to meet like-minded people. 6) Making him cry is fun.
