An arrogant fool is a man who thinks too highly of himself. I'd much rather be a smart, successful man who thinks too highly of himself.

This crisis makes clear what we have known for decades. If we are sincere about the needs of ordinary Americans, we must pass a single-payer national program to guarantee health care for all Americans.

We must protect struggling small and independent businesses, not the profits of vulture fund managers. Taxpayer money must not be used to bail out private equity.

Absentee voters in Wisconsin: remember to get your ballot postmarked today and vote for @judgekarofsky for the state Supreme Court. Help us create a government that works for working people.
Judges should stand up for the needs of working people and civil rights, not huge corporate CEO donors, which is why I strongly endorse @judgekarofsky for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

The myth that #COVID19 is an "equal opportunity killer" must be dispelled. It is unacceptable that Black America is getting sick and dying at much higher rates. Join us at 7:00PM to discuss ways we can overcome these economic and health disparities: live.berniesanders.com

When we talk about systemic racism, that means serious inequalities in our health care system. Join our live town hall on how the coronavirus crisis is having a disproportionately harmful impact on the African American community: pscp.tv/w/cVurCDMyNzU3OTl8MV…

There is a word to describe our health care system today: grotesque. We need Medicare for All.

It's outrageous that the Republican legislative leaders and the conservative majority on the Supreme Court in Wisconsin are willing to risk the health and safety of many thousands of Wisconsin voters tomorrow for their own political gain.
Wisconsin's Supreme Court rules that Gov. Tony Evers cannot postpone the state’s presidential primary, striking down his order to move the vote to June over coronavirus fears. Barring an appeal, the election will go forward Tuesday. apne.ws/fF7rI3N

Let's be clear: holding this election amid the coronavirus outbreak is dangerous, disregards the guidance of public health experts, and may very well prove deadly. For that reason, our campaign will not be engaged in any traditional GOTV efforts.

Jason Hargrove’s death is an outrage—it should've never happened. Blue-collar workers are risking their lives to keep this country running. They deserve better. The federal government must require that all frontline workers get protective gear NOW. nytimes.com/2020/04/04/us/de…

Lives are at risk. Medical workers don’t have critical supplies or hazard pay. Unemployment is soaring. But the Trump administration wants to deliver huge tax cuts to the wealthiest few? That’s ridiculous. Absolutely not.

We have got to do everything we can to make sure that right now, our people are safe, get the paychecks that they need, receive medical care for free, and have a roof over their heads. All American workers must be made whole.
