Sanders Launches Anti-Oligarchy Tour: Fighting for Economic Justice
Senator Bernie Sanders has announced a national tour to combat the growing influence of oligarchs, citing Elon Musk’s role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and access to sensitive Treasury data as a prime example. Sanders criticizes the unchecked power and wealth accumulation of billionaires like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos, arguing their influence dominates politics, media, and the economy. The tour, beginning February 21st, will focus on working-class districts Biden won in 2020 but flipped Republican in 2024, aiming to galvanize support against this perceived oligarchical control. Sanders frames this as a fight for working families against a system rigged in favor of the wealthy few.
