I look forward to speaking with @hasanthehun on Twitch this evening. We will discuss the horrifying fires in LA, Elon Musk’s goal of privatizing the USPS, VA & Social Security, and the future of political organizing in America. I hope you’ll join us: live.berniesanders.com

Trump: Jeff Bezos came, Bill Gates came. Mark Zuckerberg came. Many of them came numerous times. The bankers have all come. Everybody is coming.





Yes, I am willing to pay 30¢ more for a bottle of Cholula hot sauce if it means 75,000 Americans aren’t dying from fentanyl overdoses every year.
















BREAKING: Mitch McConnell just shut it down. No recess appointments, no cabinet approvals—Trump’s team is officially locked out. This isn’t just a casual move; the Supreme Court has made it clear that the Senate must recess or adjourn for at least 10 days before a president can make unilateral appointments. But here’s the catch: pro-forma sessions keep the Senate technically “open” during long breaks, with a lone senator showing up to open and close the chamber—no real business, just optics. And the House plays its part too, blocking any chance for the Senate to fully adjourn. McConnell’s maneuver leverages these rules to maximum effect, ensuring Trump’s team is stalled at every turn. Tactical genius or just petty politics? Either way, the gridlock is real.
