We’re told that rural America doesn’t like progressive ideas.
Not what I saw today at our great rally in Altoona, WI — population 9,200.
People here, and across the country, understand that health care is a human right, and our economy must work for all, not just the few.

Musk says there’s massive waste & fraud in Social Security. Not true.
Musk says Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. Not true.
What is the goal of this disinformation campaign? To privatize the most successful government program in history and give it over to Wall Street.

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

Now THIS is what I like to see at a party leadership debate.

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.
SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

If Republicans want to shut down the Department of Education, bring a bill to the floor. Show your constituents that you want to destroy public education. Don't make an unelected billionaire do it illegally because you're too afraid of being on record.

Oligarchs are waging a war on the working class, and they are intent on winning.
But this is what I know:
The worst fear that the ruling class in this country has is that Americans come together to demand a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthy few.
Denmark is the happiest country in the world seven years in a row! The US is number 23 according to the World Happiness Report 2024. The happiest countries have "strong feelings of communal support, experience high levels of generosity of the general population, etc." #Denmark

More than 100 million Americans are burdened with medical debt. 80% of both Republicans and Democrats support limits on debt collections.
It’s time to act. Let’s pass my bill with @sensanders to cancel medical debt and protect patients.
Robertson Work retweeted
Democrats just rescued America from a disastrous government shutdown—blocking an outrageous MAGA effort to eliminate the debt ceiling and pass massive new tax cuts for the wealthy.
We stood strong—and we stand strong—for the American people.
Please consider giving inspiring gifts to your family members and friends of my book A Compassionate Civilization. Available online and in local bookshops in paperback, e-book, and audiobook. Now more than ever, we each need to help catalyze and embody compassionate community.
