Thank you, @ZohranKMamdani and @BernieSanders for putting principles over polls.
The arc doesn’t bend on its own. It bends when someone is willing to put skin in the game and take the risk when it actually matters.
You took that risk on Darializa, Brad and Claire.
Tonight, it paid off. Not just for them, but for everyone watching who needed proof that change is still possible.

Two-thirds of all bankruptcies in the United States of America are because of medical issues. That is unacceptable, and it has got to change.
With @RepJayapal's Medicare for All Act of 2019, every woman, man, and child in this country is guaranteed coverage as a right.

Our Revolution has not spent anything on the race this cycle.
Even @BernieSanders, who has revolutionized small $ fundraising in American politics & has mostly stiff-armed Big $, is not totally pure on the issue of money in politics.
See his support from the @nationalnurses super PAC, & the @OurRevolution 501(c)4.

Here’s some analysis: millennials are the most educated, yet worst paid generation since 1980. The issue is not millennials — the issue is an economy in which stagnant wages and enormous student debt are being sold as a cruel new normal. It is not normal, and we must change it.
Analysis: Millennials should be willing and able to work longer than their parents and grandparents did politi.co/2xWCfTY

Stock buybacks were illegal until 1982 for a reason.
Norfolk Southern, the company whose train derailed in Ohio and unleashed chemicals, made a record $12 billion in revenue last year.
Instead of investing in better safety measures, what did the company do? It authorized a $10 billion stock buyback.
Corporate greed, folks.

“She’s much nicer than I am.”
🔥 Bernie delivered message on CNN directly to Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer on CNN: support candidates like Zohran Mamdani!
AOC is right — Party leaders should support the party’s nominee — but Bernie takes it further:
“You got a Democratic Party in the duldrums (…) This should be the kind of candidate the Democrats want in every state in the country!
“Strong grassroots campaigns, a willingness to take on the oligarchs and stand up for working class people. “This should be the model!”
It begs the question to party leaders: Which side are you on??
