@POTUS: “15% of veterans become union workers when they come home. We have a responsibility to take care of them and honor their service.”
…”I just signed the PACT Act to take care of these veterans, and provide for their families when they’re gone. It’s the least we can do.”
@JoeBiden explains how Ron Johnson has been shilling for huge pharmaceutical companies to kee prices high.
Explosive booing.
Then: “We beat pharma this year!”
Folks jump to their feet, cheering, pumping fists
@JoeBiden explains how @RonJohnsonWI helped pharma block a $35 cap on insulin costs. “But I’m coming back and getting it.”
Insulin costs $10 to make. But pharma jacks up prices so much that many parents can’t afford it for their kids with diabetes. “It’s WRONG.”
“When FDR signed the National Labor Relations Act, he didn’t say it was *okay* to be in a union. He said he *encouraged* unions.
Folks, I’m encouraging unions!”
“Rick Scott wants to put Social Security up for a vote every five years—to change it, cut it, and eliminate it.”
“And then along comes Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. He wants to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block in Congress EVERY SINGLE YEAR.”
“You can’t be pro insurrectionist and pro democracy.” – @JoeBiden
“We have to be more determined and committed to saving democracy than the MAGA Republicans and the other guy are to destroying American democracy.” @JoeBiden

“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." – Hosea 8:7
Trump, Musk, and the entire GOP keep sowing the wind.
The whirlwind is here. 🧵
Howls of protest are rising from every corner of Wisconsin, and of the country. And we’ve got the first statewide test coming up in 32 days: Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. Help us beat Brad Schimel and Elon Musk—by chipping in to elect Susan Crawford: secure.actblue.com/donate/wisdems…
Trump and Vance blowing up at Zelenskyy in the Oval Office today: sowing. npr.org/2025/02/28/nx-…
Elon Musk is shredding the United States government. But that’s not enough for him. Now, he wants to buy Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court as well. 🧵
Musk’s plan: put his bag man, Brad Schimel, on the court—so he can suppress votes, lock in the GOP’s House majority, re-rig state legislative maps, and prevent any check on himself and Trump.
Musk is hellbent on firing dedicated public servants who look out for regular folks instead of serving far-right billionaires. No wonder he doesn’t like Judge Susan Crawford. And if he succeeds here, your state is next.
1. Fight back against the MAGA/DOGE assault on our country and hold all GOP politicians accountable. 2. Lift up Dems who are doing the right thing. 3. Win elections.
A chance to do #3 is coming in Wisconsin, 53 days from now. 🧵
The core thing to remember: right now, GOP politicians are terrified of crossing Musk/Trump.
They’re not yet afraid of the political consequences of betraying the public.
That’s how we get every GOP Senator voting to confirm Project 2025’s architect to run the federal budget.
Changing the fundamental political equation of this moment requires Republicans dividing, Democrats uniting, and voters rejecting the GOP at every level.
If—when—we make that happen, the Republican onslaught will begin to crumble.
We’re in the final stretch. On Saturday, the Democratic National Committee will elect our next chair. Here’s an update on where our campaign is now, and our path to victory.
Our current count is 183 DNC members supporting me. Here’s how we got there, and where we’re going. 🧵
The momentum’s with us. Just today, we’ve earned public endorsements from the entire Kentucky delegation, Indivisible, and many more individual DNC members. Meanwhile, IUBAC & UNITE HERE joined AFSCME, AFT, NEA, and SEIU in endorsing our campaign—and nine governors.
When I talk to DNC members, I hear that they want a battle-tested leader who can out-organize and out-communicate the GOP.
Wisconsin politics can be brutal trench warfare. We see the worst the GOP has to offer. Now, the country faces that kind of fight—so we need to fight back.
Trump takes the oath today. Expect him to start breaking it immediately.
Trump was a disaster the first time. And this is the kind of movie where the sequel is worse than the original.
As Democrats, how we fight back will define who we are. 🧵
Trump is going to blitz the country in a million terrible ways.
As we fight for all of our communities, we have to make sure the country sees the core of what he’ll try to do: he’ll try to rig the country for far-right billionaires, at the expense of everyone else.
Trump passed just *one* major bill in his first presidency. A giant tax scam, shoveling trillions of dollars to billionaires and huge corporations.
That’s always been his con. He talks about all kinds of things. But his top priority is always bilking people like you, reading this right now, to enrich himself and his friends.
