Workers are not asking to get rich. They just want to afford three meals a day.
In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should work for starvation wages.
It is time to raise the disgraceful $7.25/hr federal minimum wage to a living wage of AT LEAST $17/hr.

Trump, the so-called dealmaker, now wants to delay Medicare from negotiating drug prices.
Eli Lilly charges Americans $1,080 for the diabetes drug Mounjaro when the same drug can be purchased for $200 in Japan and $520 in the U.K.
Is this what Trump means by America First?

The Trump-Musk war against workers continues. Last night, Trump issued a blatantly illegal executive order essentially destroying AFGE & NTEU, the unions representing federal employees.
The Oligarchs don’t like unions. We do. Let’s stand together against this assault on workers.

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.
They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires.
That is something that the American people — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — will never support.

Last year, I launched an investigation into the outrageous price Novo Nordisk charges for Wegovy.
Novo now says it will cut Wegovy’s price for the uninsured from $1,349 to $499.
This is a modest step forward. But Novo must do better.
Wegovy can be purchased for $92 in the U.K.

I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job.
If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
