Progressives believe that healthcare is a human right and that we should do what all other major countries on Earth do, guarantee healthcare to all people.

We believe that democracy means one person one vote, not billionaires buying elections.
As a result of Trump’s disastrous cuts to education, an increasing number of seniors are in danger of having their Social Security checks garnished to pay back student loans they took out decades ago. That is beyond unacceptable.
I expect because of the pressure of the American people we're going to come together again and do what has to be done.
Trump's right. His economy is a win for Wall Street. Meanwhile, while the rich get richer, millions of Americans cannot afford the basic necessities of life—food, housing, healthcare, and a decent retirement.

They’re saying, What the hell are we doing? What is this gonna contribute to? Is this gonna result in my kid not being able to have a job? Is this gonna result in my not having any privacy? Why am I aiding these large corporations owned by…
Last month, the world found out OpenAI lost control of an AI model. The result? The model hacked into another company’s computers—a clear violation of federal law.
Bernie Sanders has written a letter to Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Mark Zuckerberg urging them to immediately pause all AI development in the interest of humanity.
The time is now to end the greed of the big insurance and drug companies and pass Medicare for All.
At a time when 15 million Americans are being thrown off the healthcare they have and 20 million Americans have already seen their premiums double, on average, as a result of Trump’s so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ we need Medicare for All…
And it would prevent over 100,000 Americans from dying unnecessarily each and every year because they cannot make it to a doctor in time.
In fact, guaranteeing healthcare as a human right through a Medicare for All, single-payer system would cost $1 trillion less than our current dysfunctional system.
This study confirms what we have known for years: Medicare for All saves lives and saves money.
Almost every day, there is a new story about how your companies are losing control of the AI technology you are developing, with potentially cataclysmic results.
Let me be very clear: If you do not take appropriate action now, my colleagues and I in the U.S. Senate will.
In the interest of humanity, stand by your words. Pause AI development. It is not too late to avoid disaster. Stop building machines that humans cannot control.
You can't allow Democratic candidates to be outspent 50 to 1. But it is a corrupt campaign finance system, and Democrats can take charge of what takes place within their own primaries right now.
While there are ideological differences of opinion within the big tent of the party, I would hope that we can all agree that Republican special interests should not play a role in determining the outcome of Democratic primaries. The time…
What is particularly obscene is not only the outrageous amount of money coming into Democratic primaries from billionaire-funded super PACs, but the reality that these special interests have no particular desire to see Democrats win.
My message to Democratic leaders: Ban super PACs from Democratic primaries NOW.
If the people of Minnesota can stand up -- and I’m confident that they can -- and tell these billionaires and their lies and their 30-second ads and their super PACs to go to hell, democracy is going to reign.
