As we enter the last days of this campaign, it is becoming increasingly clear that Trump and his Republican allies have virtually nothing to say about the enormous crises facing our country. Think about it: Unprecedented income and wealth inequality. Nothing to say. 60% of our people living paycheck to paycheck....

A few days ago, I returned from a campaign swing through Florida and Texas. Great turnouts. Before that, I was in California and Maine. This weekend, I headed to Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin. And I think you all know the reason why I am on the road: This is the most important midterm election in the modern...

Trump has a problem: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE CATCHING ON TO HIS FAILED POLICIES. The cost of gas, housing and groceries are soaring. 15 million Americans will soon be thrown off the healthcare they have so that he could provide a trillion in tax breaks to the 1%. There is a grassroots rebellion against his desire to...

As progressives, when we go out into the world, people tell us: “Well, you guys are nice guys. Or maybe you’re not nice guys, you’re communists, whatever you may be. But your ideas — what you stand for — is so far out of the mainstream. You are fringe. Nobody agrees with you. You’ve got to become more moderate....

On November 3rd, at a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality, the people of California will decide whether to pass a 5% wealth tax on more than 200 billionaires in California who are worth $2.2 trillion. This initiative, known as Proposition 40, would raise enough revenue to prevent 3 million...

Over and over again, I hear from critics that moving to Medicare for All is just “too expensive.” That is demonstrably untrue. But let me tell you what IS too expensive. And that is our current healthcare system, which puts the profits of the big health insurance and drug companies ahead of the well-being of the...

I want to share with you a conversation I heard about recently. Here are just a few lines that were said: “OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!” Thanks for reading Bernie's Substack!

The Trump administration is trying to use the United States Postal Service to decide who gets to vote in this year’s election. Unacceptable. We will not accept Trump’s authoritarianism. Last month, the Postal Service announced it would only deliver mail-in ballots to voters on a list of “approved” individuals —...

I don’t have to tell anybody, but we are living in crazy times, and there is, unfortunately, a lot of very bad news out there. I’m going to go over some of that bad news. But what I will be talking about in a minute — and I want everyone to appreciate it — is that there is a lot of very good news as well. The bad...

Last night, progressives won a major victory in the state of Minnesota. Peggy Flanagan won the Democratic nomination for Senate with a blowout. She won by some 20 points. A week earlier, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic nomination from Michigan for the US Senate. Thanks for reading Bernie's Substack! Subscribe...

The Democratic Senate primary in Michigan is much more than a campaign between Congresswoman Haley Stevens and Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. It is part of the ongoing struggle between Oligarchy and grassroots progressive politics. It is about whether we can create a government that represents ALL Americans, or one that...

The last eleven years have been the hottest eleven years on record. The last three years have been the hottest three years on record. Europe just saw its worst heat wave in recorded history that set all-time heat records in seven countries, killed more than 10,000 people, and caused the worst heat stress ever in...

The political establishment — Democratic and Republican — is getting nervous. So are the Oligarchs and the corporate media they own. The world they dominate is beginning to shake beneath them. Change is coming. And they don’t like it. Thanks for reading Bernie's Substack! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and...

On Tuesday, voters across New York delivered a powerful message: the era of status quo politics is over. From Buffalo to Queens, grassroots candidates ran bold campaigns focused on the struggles facing working people and won decisive victories. Not only did Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier...

Yesterday, while tens of millions of families were struggling to pay for rent, food, healthcare, childcare and gas, seven of Trump's oligarchic friends became $210 billion richer. Not last week. Not over the past decade. In less than 24 hours, these 7 men, the wealthiest people on earth, became $210 billion richer....

Sisters and Brothers - THE BAD NEWS: Our campaign finance system is totally corrupt, and billionaires can spend as much money as they want to buy elections. Super PACs from AI, crypto, AIPAC and other special interests will be spending many hundreds of millions of dollars in the midterm elections to buy elections...

There is one candidate running for the U.S. Senate in Maine who understands that: We cannot continue a rigged economy in which 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck while the top 1% have never had it so good. We cannot allow, for the first time in modern history, our younger generation to have a lower standard...

The American people understand that we live in a rigged economy, which is propped up by a corrupt campaign finance system. The rich get richer. Working families struggle. And the billionaires put huge amounts of money into super PACs to buy elections. The good news is that the American people are taking on big...

Artificial intelligence will almost certainly be the most transformational technology in the history of the world. It will profoundly affect the life of every man, woman and child in our country. It will bring — and is already bringing — unimaginable changes to our economy, our democracy, our emotional well-being,...

Yes. Democrats must fight Trump — his authoritarianism, attacks against working families, racism, kleptocracy and endless wars — every single day. But being anti-Trump is not good enough to win elections. The working families of this country are hurting and they want to know how their lives are going to be improved....
