Senator Sanders LOSES His MIND to Government Reopening

In an incredible moment on the Senate floor, Senator Bernie Sanders erupted in outrage after Democrats caved to President Donald Trump and agreed to end the government shutdown on his terms. 

Slamming his desk and shouting, Sanders declared, “What this Senate is about to do is make things WORSE!” 

His fury was a clear sign that the far left had just suffered a major defeat—and that Trump’s strategy worked.

For weeks, Democrats refused to negotiate, hoping that shutting down the government would damage Trump politically. 

Instead, the move backfired. Americans saw through the theatrics, realizing that Democrats were holding federal workers and essential programs hostage to score points before the election. 

Trump, meanwhile, stayed firm. 

His administration outlined a plan that tied spending reforms to broader efforts to fix the country’s broken healthcare system—a proposal that ultimately forced Democrats to the table.

At the heart of the new deal is a simple yet powerful idea: redirecting federal healthcare subsidies directly to consumers rather than to insurance companies. 

Trump’s plan eliminates layers of bureaucracy, cuts waste, and ensures that taxpayer dollars reach American families directly. 

By removing intermediaries and political interests, the administration aims to lower premiums and increase transparency—a goal Democrats once claimed to support, but which their party has since been hijacked by socialists like Sanders.

Sanders’ outrage quickly spilled onto social media, where he posted: 

“I’m no great fan of the ACA. I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system. But—at minimum—we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.”

The post revealed just how disconnected the far left has become. 

Sanders admitted the Affordable Care Act was broken, yet still blamed Republicans for trying to fix it.

The truth is simple: the ACA failed. It drove up premiums, strangled competition, and left millions paying more for less. 

Now, with premium tax credits set to expire by December 31, 2025, Democrats are panicking. 

Their healthcare “achievement” is collapsing under its own weight, and Trump’s reforms threaten to expose just how deep the failures run.

Republicans argue that Trump’s approach delivers real solutions instead of empty promises. 

Direct subsidies to consumers mean lower administrative costs and fewer handouts to big insurance companies—a win for both taxpayers and patients.

Schumer Takes Public Stab At Sanders As Democrats Descend Into Chaotic Political Scuffle

Democrats are already eating their own in Maine — and the Senate race hasn’t even started.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threw gasoline on an already fiery primary Tuesday by endorsing Gov. Janet Mills for Senate — a move that instantly put him at odds with Bernie Sanders and the party’s progressive base.

“We think that Janet Mills is the best candidate to retire Susan Collins,” Schumer said at a press conference. “She’s a tested two-term governor and the people of Maine have an enormous amount of affection and respect for her.”

But Schumer’s safe, establishment pick enraged the left. Sanders — who’s been boosting populist underdog Graham Platner, a Marine veteran turned oyster farmer — has already blasted party leaders for “wasting millions on an unnecessary & divisive primary.”

Platner, who’s drawn heavy progressive support and hauled in over $3.2 million by the end of September, didn’t mince words either. His campaign torched Schumer’s move as “the establishment backing the establishment,” vowing their guy would win “because he has Mainers behind him.”

The Democratic civil war couldn’t be clearer: Schumer wants the polished, 77-year-old governor who’s led Maine for two terms. Sanders wants the scrappy outsider who calls out the Washington elite — even if his past social media posts have become a political minefield.

Platner has been scrambling to explain a string of crude Reddit comments unearthed by CNN and The Washington Post — including one where he used a slur for the disabled, called himself a “communist,” said “all” cops are “bastards,” and downplayed sexual assault in the military.

Platner’s scandals worsened this week when he revealed he has a tattoo resembling an alleged Nazi symbol.

In a video posted to X, Platner blamed the remarks on his battle with PTSD and insisted the people of Maine know “this is not at all the person that they have come to know, and come to interact with in reality.”

The controversy didn’t stop Sanders from sticking by him, calling Platner “a great working-class candidate.” But Schumer clearly wants none of it — betting that Mills is the Democrats’ best shot at unseating Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who’s gunning for a sixth term.

Oligarch-Battling Bernie Sanders Thinks It’s Perfectly Normal To Own Three Homes

Oligarchy fighter and working class man of the people Bernie Sanders sees nothing out of the ordinary in owning three large properties.

When recently questioned about his three houses, the ‘No Kings’ figurehead passed it off as if most Americans own multiple properties and he’s just like everyone else.

“Do I own three residences? Yes I do,” declared Sanders.

He then explained that he has “a beautiful home in Burlington,” a place in Washington, and “like many thousands of people in the State of Vermont” he has a “Summer camp on Lake Champlain.”

“It’s a nice one,” he enthused.

“That’s it!” Sanders declared.

Oh is that all?

Everyone has a vacation pad, right?

Aside from their other two houses.

Bernie Sanders: Trump Presidency ‘Worst Crisis in America Literally Since the Civil War’

Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said President Donald Trump’s second term has become “the worst crisis in America literally since the Civil War.”

Host Chris Hayes said, “You’ve have been in you’ve served in Congress, in the Senate, you served through a number of different administrations with different presidents. I’ve covered a number of shutdowns. I’ve never seen a president during a shutdown kind of gloating about the ability to punish people or to take stuff away from people in states that didn’t vote for him. Have you seen that before?

Sanders said, “No, of course we haven’t. You know, Chris, we are living in an unprecedentedly dangerous moment, possibly the worst crisis in America since the Civil War. You have a president who is acting unconstitutionally and illegally. Guess what? These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And then basically to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn’t vote for Donald Trump, well, we’re going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state, illegal, outrageous, unconstitutional.”

He added, “You got a president who is acting in an unprecedented way, who is a megalomaniac, who wants more and more power for himself and his oligarchic friends. I want everybody to understand that.”

RFK Jr Leaves Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren Redfaced When He Exposes Her Big Pharma Ties – Then RFK Jr Embarrasses Bernie Sanders When He Comes to Warren’s Defense 

After burying multiple Democratic Senators intent on trying to destroy his political career, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got his chance to dunk on arguably the most notorious Senators in America. As expected, he did not disappoint.

As NBC News reported, Kennedy appeared before the Senate Finance Committee to answer questions.

This comes one week after Kennedy pushed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director, Susan Monarez, to resign. The White House fired her when she refused, and three top CDC officials then resigned in protest.

The hearing got testy in a hurry after far-left, Big Pharma hack Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), when he tried to question Kennedy’s integrity by bringing up the words of the disgraced Monarez. This failed to faze Kennedy as he left Wyden completely humiliated.

Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) then got into a screaming match with Kennedy over mRNA vaccines and embarrassed himself as well.

Senators Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren (D-MA) and Comrade Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) later had their chance to interrogate Kennedy and fared no better.

Warren accused Kennedy of taking away COVID shots from those who wanted them when he changed COVID vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women back in June. They are no longer recommended to receive the shots.

Then, Kennedy exposed Warren for taking nearly $900,000 from Big Pharma. This should come as no surprise to TGP readers since Warren previously defended Big Pharma in a hearing with Kennedy earlier this year.

Having no answer, Warren doubled down on calling Kennedy a liar without evidence, which he rebutted again.

Instant Regret Hits Bernie Sanders as Joe Rogan Interview Backfires Spectacularly

It’s not every day a major politician sits down with Joe Rogan.

Bernie Sanders did, and now we know why most skip the invitation.

Bernie pushed the global warming narrative. Rogan crushed him with undeniable data.

Then it got worse.

Rogan made Sanders instantly regret saying we should tax the rich more—because Rogan immediately asked why we’d give more money to a corrupt government.

Then, Rogan questioned the government’s monopoly on power, which left Sanders scrambling.

Watch it all unfold below.

The conversation started off strong for Bernie, as he returned to his 2015–2016 form.

Sanders shined a light on three mega-powerful investment firms with a massive grip on American politics: BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard.

“The three of them combined are the major stockholders of 95% of American corporations,” he said. “That’s power.”

Rogan nodded in agreement.

The conversation shifted to money in politics, and Sanders made some great points.

He noted that billionaires have had way too much power ever since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which opened the floodgates for corporate spending.

But he made the fatal error of singling out Elon Musk, while ignoring George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and every other mega-billionaire. Rogan quickly called this out.

SANDERS: “Elon Musk—And I know Elon was on your show… he spent $270 million to elect Trump as president. I think that’s absurd that any one person—”

ROGAN: “What’s the most someone donated towards the Harris campaign?”

SANDERS (now disrupted): “They spent a lot of money on Harris as well.”

ROGAN: “They spent $1.5 billion just over the course of a couple of months.”

SANDERS: “Combined. You got it. All right, let me talk about it. So I’m not here just to say it’s a Republican. That’s my point here.”

ROGAN: “Right.”

SANDERS: “Okay.”

And just like that, Rogan turned Bernie’s Elon attack into a total flop.

Bernie Sanders Backstabs the Democratic Party in Brutally Honest Interview

Bernie Sanders just said the quiet part out loud—and Andrew Schulz got it all on tape.

In one of his most brutally honest interviews ever, Sanders admitted Democrats ARE a threat to democracy.

He even pulled back the curtain on being robbed in 2016 and revealed his thoughts on a 2028 run.

By the halfway mark of the 80-minute conversation, Sanders started unleashing truth bombs.

He said the Democratic establishment sold out decades ago, trading working-class voters for wealthy donors and out-of-touch consultants. According to Sanders, that’s when everything started to fall apart.

“The 70s, 60s, Democrats caught on that you could raise a lot of money from wealthy people,” Sanders explained.

“And it gets back to campaign financing and all that stuff. So you got a Democratic establishment now, which is funded by wealthy people. You have consultants who are really way out of touch with reality, who make a whole lot of money in campaigns. And working class is ignored,” Sanders said.

He added that Donald Trump succeeded where Democrats fell short because at least he pretended to care about the working class.

Mile High Marxist Bernie Sanders Proves There Is No Climate Emergency

Give the devil his due: Senator Bernie Sanders never misses an opportunity to remind Americans about our planet’s supposed peril. In a 2023 MSNBC op-ed, he whined: “The climate crisis is not just an environmental issue. It is a matter of justice, of health, of economics, and of national security.” According to Sanders, climate change is a moral and existential threat demanding sweeping government intervention and dramatic changes in personal behavior.

Except, of course, when it comes to how he lives his own life.

Sanders’ recent “Fighting Oligarchy” tour paints a very different picture. While crisscrossing the country decrying the evils of capitalism, Sanders traveled by—you guessed it—private jet. According to a new analysis from Power The Future, the senator’s 16-stop tour spewed an estimated 62.15 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

To put in context, that’s more than the average American produces in five years.

In fact, Sanders’ emissions from just one tour equal the annual emissions from 15 gasoline-powered cars. It’s the carbon equivalent to driving a gas-powered SUV 150,000 miles, or more than 6 times around the Earth at the equator. And this from a man who wants to regulate what kind of stove you use in your kitchen.

When questioned about the blatant hypocrisy, Sanders didn’t offer contrition. He doubled down. “You think I’m gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United… while 30,000 people are waiting?” he snapped at Bret Baier.

This isn’t the first time Sanders’ climate preaching has clashed with his jet-setting lifestyle. During the 2020 Democratic primary, his campaign shelled out over $1.2 million on private jet travel. Then, as now, the justification was the same: it’s okay when Bernie does it because his cause is righteous.

Let’s call this what it is: Mile High Marxism. Sanders flies high above the rest of us, belching carbon into the atmosphere while demanding working families pay more for energy and drive electric vehicles. He insists there’s a climate emergency but behaves like there’s no emergency at all.

The green movement is filled with elites just like Sanders—people who use the language of crisis to amass power while living above the consequences of their policies. They want to ban gas cars, restrict domestic energy production, and ration electricity, but they’ll never give up their jets, SUVs, or lakefront mansions. It’s not about saving the planet. It’s about control.

Consider this: if the planet were truly teetering on the edge of climate catastrophe, would the loudest alarmists be the least willing to change their own behavior? If climate change were the existential threat they claim, wouldn’t they at least attempt to lead by example? Instead, we get moral lectures from the tarmac.

Bernie Sanders Exposes Himself As An Elitist Fraud

Bernie Sanders was called out during a Fox News interview about repeatedly traveling on private jets during a tour he’s called “Fight the Oligarcy,” and his answer exposed him for the completely fraud he is.

As we previously highlighted, Sanders spent (or used taxpayer funds, it isn’t clear yet) more than $220,000 in the first quarter of this year flying to the events on private jets, while complaining about Elon Musk.

When he was challenged on this behaviour by host Brett Bair, Sanders scoffed at the idea that he could possibly fly commercial.

Socialist Bernie Sanders Doubles Down on Use of Private Jets — Says He Can’t Be Expected to Wait in Line at Airports

Senator Bernie Sanders is making no excuses for his use of private jets.

Lastm onth, it was reported that he had spent over $200,000 on private jets to travel to events during his anti-Trump “FIght Oligarchy” tour.

In an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, Sanders defended his use of these aircraft, saying he can’t be expected to wait in line at airpots.

Here is a transcript of the exchange:

BAIER: Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), she said you shouldn’t be using oligarch, it’s over people’s head.

You’ve gotten criticized from other people, the Free Beacon says, Bernie Sanders spent 221,000 on private jets fighting the oligarchy tour paid for by Friends of Bernie Sanders, that you’ve spent millions of dollars in campaign funds on private jet travel over the years.

How do you push back on both of those things?”

SANDERS: When’s the last time you saw Donald Trump during a campaign mode at National Airport?

BAIER: No, no, no. It doesn’t. But he’s also not fighting the oligarchy.

SANDERS: No. You run a campaign and do you three or four or five rallies in a week, the only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people, you think I’m going to be sitting on a waiting line at United waiting while 30,000 people are waiting? T

hat’s the only way you can get around. No apologies for that. That’s what campaign travel is about. We’ve done it in the past, we’re going to do it in the future.
