Folsom is in the political spotlight on Tuesday, with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bringing their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour to town.Sanders and AOC are holding a campaign-style rally at Folsom Lake College as they crisscross Western states for the tour.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little mocked progressive ambitions on Monday, the day Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez rallied outside Boise. Little posted on his X account a famous meme of Sanders in a winter coat with the caption: “I am once again asking for you to not bring your failed policies to Idaho.”

In front of thousands, the progressive leaders blasted billionaires, Donald Trump, and corporate money. But critics say their populist message clashes with their own elite perks.
