I set up this interview.
We were at the Brightmoor Food Pantry in Detroit. The shelves are empty because corporate greed is starving working families.

Let's keep the momentum going.
We projected about 150 people would be able to come out to Boone on a Sunday morning.
We were wrong.
Over 430 Iowans are here to see
@BernieSanders
in a town that had only 800 people caucus last time.
This is
@BernieSanders
first TV ad of 2020.
We're spending $1.3 million over two weeks in Iowa, hitting every. single. market.
If you didn't get if from our $25.3 million Q3, we're playing to win.
Sanders, Schumer, Booker & Harris all voted against NAFTA 2.0 today. Family farmers, climate groups and major unions are against it.
Why on earth did every other candidate on the debate stage (except Bernie) support it??
Big mistake in Iowa to mess up on trade policy.
BIG: Restauranteur and NYCEDC Chair Danny Meyer just announced a vaccine mandate for staff and customers at his restaurants.
A bold move supported and encouraged by
@NYCMayor
, with the full backing of the NYC government. This is the path forward.

@BernieSanders
was just asked what he would tell every young person in America. His answer:
"You are far more powerful than the establishment allows you to think you are."

delivers breaking news on
@Morning_Joe
: New York City will terminate contracts with the Trump Organization following the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol
REMINDER: Bernie Sanders was the only candidate to call for an end to Detroit's water shutoffs.
Biden stayed silent as his endorser, Mayor Duggan, kept thousands of black households without water.

Let's keep the momentum going!
#CaucusForBernie
In today's NYT: For months, Biden and Sanders represented the two poles of the 2020 Democratic race in Iowa. With three months to go, they've been eclipsed by Warren and Buttigieg.

He is creating deep connections with voters across the state, elevating the debate to something personal and urgent.

False.
The bottom 80% hold $1.1 trillion of the $1.6 trillion total student debt. How much of this proposal goes to the top one-tenth of one percent? Nothing.
Not to mention it will cut the racial wealth gap by *more than half* for young households.

Our message: When Bernie is in the White House, he is going to fight for us because he always has.
"He’s not there for Wall Street. He’s not there for Hollywood. He’s not there for big oil, or big pharma or big anybody. Just Big Us. And I’m good with Big Us."

We have the biggest volunteer base in the state. We're making massive investments on TV and digital. And we're not going to stop until we win.
Just saying you're a "union man" is one thing, but "solidarity" is a verb.
@BernieSanders
is showing you can run for President and boost unions at the same time.

This is what a workers' campaign looks like.
#BernieAtWalmart
I just left the Walmart stockholders meeting where I demanded that
@Walmart
put hourly employees on their board of directors. We won't stop fighting until every worker makes at least $15 an hour.

The Sanders campaign has built out its Iowa team, naming a key communications aide,
@BNeidhardt
, as its deputy state director. The campaign has also expanded its ground operation, with 13 field offices and more than 110 paid staffers.
Bernie knocked doors in Iowa yesterday.
One of the Iowans he met didn't caucus for him in '16 but is for Bernie this time.
“What changed for me? I feel like there is a lot of energy with his campaign...We need someone who has been a long-term fighter."
