Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) hosted former Democratic vice president Al Gore for a live interview on Thursday morning.
In addition to talking about Inconvenient Sequel, Gore's forthcoming follow-up to his groundbreaking 2007 documentary An Inconvenient Truth--both centered on the issues of climate change and energy--Gore credited Sanders with proving that a presidential campaign built on small-dollar donations could actually succeed. That's what is needed, Gore said, "to revolutionize our politics."
Watch:
An Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
