Not content to controlling our economy and our political system, the Oligarchs are now consolidating control over the media. Trump’s ally David Ellison is poised to control both CBS and CNN. Not acceptable. This merger must be opposed.

At a time when billionaires and corporate interests wield enormous power over our economy and political system, Congress needs leaders who will stand with working people and take on the oligarchy. Join me and @ZohranKMamdani for a get out the vote rally in Brooklyn on Thursday.

Nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have donated to reelect Susan Collins. THIS is what the U.S. Senate campaign in Maine is all about.

AI deepfake videos make candidates appear to say things they never said. We’ve seen that in Kentucky, Texas and now in Vermont. These outrageous lies are a direct threat to democracy. Congress needs to act NOW.

Candidate Trump: "I will end inflation on Day One." President Trump today: "I love the inflation." You know who doesn't love inflation, Mr. President? Working families struggling to afford gas, groceries and other necessities because of your disastrous actions.
Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning? TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.

The flood of billionaire money that will come against Graham Platner is no accident. Whether it is AI, AIPAC or crypto, billionaire-funded super PACs will spend hundreds of millions to defeat candidates who stand with working people and challenge their power.

Netanyahu is lobbying for Section 224 in the national defense bill, a provision that quietly expands U.S.-Israel military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight. The American people do not want more U.S. military aid to Israel. We must defeat Section 224.

60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck. And they're asking themselves a simple question: Does anybody in Washington know that I am alive?

The gap between inside the beltway chatter and the realities of American life are growing wider and wider. The American people are HURTING and extremely anxious about the future. They want to know how we can right this ship. x.com/i/broadcasts/1nJOLLPAb…

No, Mr. President. The 2020 election that you lost was not "rigged" or "dirty," handing out $1.776 billion to violent insurrectionists is not a "good idea" & reporters who ask questions about your bogus claims are not "crooked." You are a president, not a dictator. Act like it.

We’re already facing the worst student loan crisis in history: nearly 1 in 4 borrowers are in default. Now Trump wants to make it even worse. On July 1, he’ll eliminate the most affordable repayment plan and raise costs by as much as $4,000 a year. We can’t let that happen.

Will Lawrence is running a people-powered campaign taking on Big Money interests. He's an organizer ready to champion Medicare for All, protect Social Security and demand accountability for AI companies. He's the exact type of leader the American people deserve in Congress.

Within a corrupt political system, here is an inspiring story which speaks to the beauty and strength of democracy and what we can accomplish when we work together.  In April 2025, as part of our Fighting Oligarchy tour, I held a rally in Missoula, Montana. As we almost always do at our rallies, we invited local union leaders to address the crowd and say a few words about issues impacting their communities.  One of those local union leaders was a National Forest firefighter named Sam Forstag, who discussed how Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE had just fired thousands of federal employees — including many in Montana.   As a result of that rally and the 9,000 people there who responded very positively to his remarks, Sam, who had never run for public office before, decided to take on the Establishment and run for the U.S. Congress as a proud member of the American working class.   Guess what? On Tuesday, June 2, after putting together a strong grassroots coalition, Sam Forstag won the Democratic Party’s primary in the First District of Montana. And, with our help, he’ll soon become Congressman Sam Forstag.

Never before have we had so much income inequality. Last year, the bottom 50% saw their income go down by $27, on average, while the top 0.01% gained $2.9 million. And the top 0.001%? They saw their income go up by $20 million. In a single year. Yes. We must tax the rich.

Trey Martin is an ironworker, union president and eighth-generation Oklahoman who knows Oklahoma and the people who make it work. I’m confident @treyforoklahoma will be the kind of representative Oklahoma working families can count on.
