Bernie Sanders' decision to remain seated during President Donald Trump's inauguration speech in the face of a standing ovation has gone viral on social media.

Senator Bernie Sanders has gone viral yet again by staying seated amid a standing ovation during President Donald Trump ’s inaugural speech. The Vermont independent attended Trump’s inauguration on Monday afternoon, which took place indoors at the US Capitol on account of freezing temperatures in Washington, D.C.

The image of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) sitting at President Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021 is iconic and a favorite among the internet memesters.

In one of his last acts before leaving office, former President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.

The Democratic Party's left wing is responding to President Joe Biden's strong words about the possibility of an American oligarchy with a combination of appreciation, bemusement and frustration.

Democrats abandoned all else to focus on one thing: keeping Donald Trump out of office. In the process, they sidelined working-class concerns, lost crucial voters, and still failed — not once, but twice — to accomplish their singular goal.

"Do you think that when so few people have so much wealth and so much economic and political power, that is an oligarchic form of society?"

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman opted for a casual look at Trump’s Inauguration, arriving to the U.S. Capitol Jan. 20 in shorts and a sweatshirt.

At noon today, Donald Trump took the presidential oath for a second time, capping a historic political comeback to the White House. As he did on the campaign trail, Trump painted a dark picture of America and took aim at President Joe Biden's leadership as his predecessor sat just steps away.

Joe Biden came into office promising to be the next FDR. Instead, his presidency of empty gestures and moral failures has given us something far more dangerous: a reinvigorated Donald Trump armed with a popular mandate and a drive for retribution.

Sanders then said that the three wealthiest men in the United States, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg had sat behind the president at his inauguration, adding that their wealth has increased by $233 billion since Trump won the 2024 presidential election. "They couldn't be happier," Sanders said.
