At a time when the billionaire class has never ever had it so good, a new poll finds that 67% of Americans believe the wealthy are not paying their fair share of taxes. And they’re right. Congress: Listen to the American people. Tax billionaire wealth.

A new report shows there are 57 Trump officials worth at least $100 million. Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg: "This government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Donald Trump: A government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich.

Our current healthcare system is broken. Progressives understand healthcare must be a human right, guaranteed to all, not a source of billions in profits for insurance and drug companies. A recent poll showed 64% of Americans want Medicare for All. They’re right. Let’s do it.

Almost every day, there is a new story about companies losing control of AI, with potentially cataclysmic results. It is not too late to avoid disaster. In the interest of humanity, AI leaders must PAUSE AI development. Stop building machines that humans cannot control.

Trump's right. His economy is a win for Wall Street. Meanwhile, while the rich get richer millions of Americans cannot afford the basic necessities of life — food, housing, healthcare and a decent retirement.

YOUNG PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING BACK Young people understand that, in the richest country on Earth, there is no rational reason why their generation should face a lower standard of living than their parents. And they’re fighting back. Progressives are winning across the country because young people are increasingly involved in the political process. They’re knocking on doors, making phone calls and voting in record numbers for progressive candidates. They understand that healthcare is a human right, that we should invest in affordable housing and not endless wars, that we should make public colleges and universities tuition-free and that AI must benefit all of humanity, not just Big Tech oligarchs. The establishment wants people to believe politics is hopeless, that they have all the mon…

The billionaire class has the money. We have the people. Peggy Flanagan and Abdul El-Sayed just proved that we can take on billionaire-funded super PACs and win. The people are fighting back.

In the last week, billionaire-funded super PACs spent more than $85 million trying to defeat Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. Guess what? THEY LOST BOTH RACES. The American people are rising up against the oligarchs.

Congratulations to Rebecca Cooke on winning her House primary in Wisconsin. A daughter of farmers, a waitress and small business owner, she knows the failures of Washington firsthand. We need more working-class fighters like Rebecca in Congress.

MINNESOTA: Today is Election Day. Dark money groups are spending $20 million to defeat Peggy Flanagan in the most expensive primary election in MN history. This election is about the people vs. the money. I encourage all Minnesotans to support Peggy Flanagan for U.S. Senate.

There is a reason why the super PACs and billionaires are flooding Minnesota with $20 million to defeat Peggy Flanagan. Same thing as Michigan. They do not want somebody in the Senate who will stand up for the working class.

Minnesota: Will we continue to have a political system dominated by crypto, AIPAC, Big Tech and their billionaire-funded super PACs? Or will we elect grassroots leaders like Peggy Flanagan who will stand with working families? The choice is clear Tuesday: PLEASE SUPPORT PEGGY FLANAGAN.

Peggy Flanagan is being greatly outspent by billionaire-funded super PACs who are spending a record-breaking $20 million against her. They have the money. We have the people. Let's elect @peggyflanagan on Tuesday.

Congratulations to Justin Pearson on winning his congressional primary. When Justin is elected he'll be a fighter against corporate greed, a corrupt political system and the unrestricted growth of AI data centers.

The Republican Party and Mike Rogers are intellectually bankrupt. At a time when healthcare, groceries, housing and childcare are unaffordable, the best they can do is attack Abdul’s Muslim faith. Pathetic!

Will Lawrence is leading the fight against Big Tech Oligarchs and their data centers. He'll stand up to the billionaire class, fight for Medicare for All and represent working families' needs. Let’s do all we can to elect Will to Michigan's 7th congressional district today.

Today’s elections are about whether we have a government of the people, by the people & for the people—or a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class & for the billionaire class. MI: VOTE Abdul El-Sayed, Donovan McKinney & Will Lawrence. MO: VOTE Cori Bush.

Donavan McKinney is running for Congress in Michigan's 13th district. Donavan comes from the working class and fights for the working class. He wants Medicare for All, a livable minimum wage and affordable housing. Tomorrow’s Election Day. Let's get out the vote for Donavan.

The Michigan Senate primary is a fight as to whether billionaires and their super PACs will continue to control American politics, or whether we can have a government that represents working families. Tomorrow is Election Day in MI. Let’s elect Abdul El-Sayed.

Whether you're a Republican, Democrat or Independent, you know our campaign finance system is broken, workers need livable wages and healthcare should be a human right. We can elect @AbdulElSayed who will take on the billionaire class and represent working families, not the 1%.
