Happy Monday! Let’s kick it off w/a Bernie Sanders accomplished a bunch list! We see folks parroting old smears spread by that nasty Super Pac, saying the Bern achieved nada bc he’s an uncompromising ideologue who doesn’t know how to get things done./1 https://t.co/MTuWA3zim3

20 million Americans are seeing their premiums double, sometimes TRIPLE because of Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s refusal to extend ACA subsidies. Our already broken health care system is now on the verge of collapse. We need Medicare for All NOW.

Yellow cab driver Richard Chow was on hunger strike for medallion debt relief with Zohran Mamdani a little over four years ago. Today, he drove now Mayor Zohran Mamdani to City Hall for his inauguration in his taxi.

Mamdani: Thank you to the man whose leadership I seek most to emulate who I am so grateful to be sworn in by today. Senator Bernie Sanders

.@ZohranKMamdani’s agenda for NYC: Affordable housing, free childcare, free bus service & publicly funded grocery stores is NOT radical. What IS radical is that at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, the billionaire class refuses to pay its fair share of taxes.

Keeping people healthy and preventing chronic disease not only saves lives — it saves money. We must increase the number of primary care doctors and nurses we have, and adequately fund community health centers. Every American should be able to see a doctor when they get sick.

Jane and I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a joyous holiday season and a wonderful New Year.

As the year ends, let me thank public school teachers who, under difficult circumstances, are doing their best to educate our kids. If this country is to flourish, we need the best education system in the world. Let’s fight for a nation where teachers are well-paid & respected.

Workers across this country are sick and tired of the corporate greed and union busting they suffer day in and day out. @ZohranKMamdani and I were proud to stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers. We need an economy that works for all of us, not just the 1%.

The threats from unchecked AI are real — worker displacement, corporate surveillance, invasion of privacy, environmental destruction, unmanned warfare.   Today, a tiny number of billionaires are shaping the future of AI behind closed doors. That is unacceptable. That must change.

The President of the United States is willing to see children go hungry to make a political point. Despicable.

Musk, who spent $270 million to get Trump elected, is now in line to become a trillionaire. Meanwhile, 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Americans understand we're living in a rigged economy. Together, we can and must change that.

This was meant to be a Schumer press conference. @BernieSanders came to listen. Press asked him to take the podium. So, I give you a Bernie sanders press conference:

Lina Khan, as she is announced as being part of Zohran Mamdani’s transition team: “I think what we saw last night was New Yorkers not just electing a new mayor, but clearly rejecting a politics where outside corporate power and money too often.”

Going on CNN to lecture people about affordability while wearing a Rolex is a choice.

The Miami Mayor Election results map! Democrat Eileen Higgins and Republican Emilio Gonzalez will advance to a non-partisan runoff. Fellow DEM Ken Russell almost made the runoff. Crazy Joe Carollo still has a base, but he couldn't expand enough to advance #flapol

Starting at 1% in the polls, @ZohranKMamdani pulled off one of the great political upsets in modern American history. Yes. We CAN create a government that represents working people and not the 1%. I look forward to working with Zohran as he builds a city that works for all.

As of Saturday, health care premiums began doubling for millions of Americans. The choices made in the coming days will decide whether families across this country can afford care. Speak out—help end the shutdown and save our health care.

.@AOC via Instagram Reel:

The Trump administration must obey the law. Federal judges have been clear: release the contingency funds NOW. Do not allow 42 million Americans to go hungry while billionaires get tax breaks.
