This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc. Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need. We must make public colleges tuition free.

It's time to find a "too far left" person you know, apologize, and find out how to plug in.

Authoritarian states happen step by step, then all at once. But you couldn't get to this point from a healthy, functional state. Black folks, Indigenous people, etc have been trying to tell you **based on our lived experience** that "regular" US politics & overt fascism are siblings, maybe twins.

Netanyahu loves Trump's plan to force 2 million people from Gaza & turn it into a billionaires’ Riviera. He calls it "voluntary migration.” It's not voluntary if you bomb & starve those who stay. It’s ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime. No more military aid to Netanyahu.

This doesn’t fix anything at all with the economy & it doesn’t create jobs. In fact, it calls for the USFS to continue to cut jobs. It will, however, pollute the waters & the air, kill wildlife & drastically reduce endangered species & biodiversity. www.wilderness.org/articles/pre...

“I can only be here voting today, because a caregiver is there looking after my father right now…” Thank you @kim.senate.gov for sharing your care story, and standing up for the millions of us who rely on Medicaid to get essential care.

Yesterday, every single Republican & 30 Democrats supported Trump's $8.8 billion bomb shipment to help Netanyahu continue his annihilation of the Palestinian people. That isn't what the American people want. Below are my floor remarks to stop the sale. www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releas...

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000. Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600. The US must end its complicity. Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

It has now been 30 days with NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel. That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

If you’re in Wisconsin, vote today for Susan Crawford. There are also two special elections in Florida’s 1st and 6th districts. Let’s show Elon our country isn’t for sale.

Money corrupts, and money in politics corrupts completely.

I LOVE REGULATION. I LOVE THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT A RESTAURANT IS SAFE TO EAT AND A PRODUCT WONT KILL ME. I WANT MORE REGULATION. I DONT WANT CORPORATIONS TO BREATHE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION.

It is long past the time that leaders privy to advance information should be allowed to financially gain from that knowledge. Ban Congress from stock ownership.

Our immigration policies should not be wielded as union busting, political cudgels. Or as ways to suppress freedom of speech or assembly.

The Senate voted 56 to 44 to advance Trump's FDA commissioner, who was a "herd immunity" supporter during COVID. 3 Democrats joined Republicans in voting yes: Durbin Hassan Shaheen
