I’m bringing some of the world's leading AI safety experts to Capitol Hill to brief Senators in both parties on what we can do to rein in AI — before it's too late. The American people want action.
“You just said that 10% doesn’t seem an unreasonable estimate that AI could kill all humans” “Yes.” “Wow… oh my God.” “Yes.” Listen to Nobel Prize Winner and the Godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton discuss the threat of uncontrolled AI.
Congratulations to David Morales on winning the Democratic primary for Providence Mayor. In November we'll have elected Democratic Socialist mayors in NYC, Seattle, D.C. and Providence. From coast to coast, Americans are clear: No more status quo politics. We want real change.
81% of Americans believe Congress isn’t doing enough to regulate AI. They’re right. Why? 3 words: Follow the money. The AI industry is spending over $300 million against candidates who want to regulate AI. Tell Congress to stand up to Big Tech Oligarchs. Regulate AI.
Since October 7th, Israeli soldiers and civilians have killed 1,000+ Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, 241 of them children. Israeli settlers have burned homes and businesses with the Israeli government’s backing. Don't believe me? Hear it from a former Israeli soldier.
The most pressing issue of our time is oligarchy & the power of Big Tech billionaires over AI. We can’t allow a handful of greedy people to play God & determine the future of humanity—our economy, environment, democracy, privacy & more—without public input. CONGRESS…
On this Labor Day please remember that the underlying principle of trade unionism is SOLIDARITY. At a time when Oligarchs have unprecedented wealth and power let’s STAND TOGETHER against those who try to divide us and fight for a government and economy that works for all.
Over the last 200 years, trade unionists have been jailed & even killed fighting for economic justice. But because of them, we have decent wages for millions, the 8-hour workday and the end of child labor. This Labor Day, let's continue the fight for an economy that works for a…
One man (Mr. Musk) owns more wealth than the bottom half of American households. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, nearly 800,000 are homeless and 85 million are uninsured. We can do better. We must do better.
We Need Medicare for All More Than Ever Over and over again, I hear from critics that moving to Medicare for All is just “too expensive.” That is demonstrably untrue. But let me tell you what IS too expensive. And that is our current healthcare system, which puts the profits…
This is what oligarchy is: Elon Musk, the richest man alive, plans to spend at least $100 million to help elect Republicans. We must end this corrupt campaign finance system, get rid of Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to public funding of elections.
Pause AI Development NOW I want to share with you a conversation I heard about recently. Here are just a few lines that were said: “OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!” “We should obey collective.” “Our own utility maybe already near zero. S…
The progressive wave continues. Despite being heavily outspent, Abdul El-Sayed, Peggy Flanagan and Angie Nixon won their Democratic primaries for U.S. Senate. And yesterday, Ed Markey won a landslide victory. Let’s keep up the pressure. Onward to November.
Trump ran on ending “endless wars.” He lied. Without provocation, he attacked Iran. The result: 3,400 dead — including 18 US troops — & costs are soaring. We can't spend billions on endless wars while Americans struggle to afford the basics. WE MUST END THIS ILLEGAL WAR N…
Congratulations to Ed Markey on his landslide victory in the Democratic Massachusetts Senate primary. Another progressive victory. Ed knows that, at a time of massive income and wealth inequality, Congress must take on the billionaires and fight for working families.
Trump Must Not Be Allowed to Prevent Millions of Americans from Voting The Trump administration is trying to use the United States Postal Service to decide who gets to vote in this year's election. Unacceptable. We will not accept Trump’s authoritarianism. Last month, the Pos…
When I first introduced legislation to make public colleges tuition-free in 2015, it was called “a radical idea.” Not anymore. Today, nearly 1,000 colleges in 45 states are tuition-free for working families. We can’t stop there. All public colleges must be tuition-free — period…
Annual compensation: Walmart CEO: $29.2 million Median Walmart worker: $30,520 Target CEO: $21.8 million Median Target worker: $27,506 Home Depot CEO: $16.2 million Median Home Depot worker: $37,881 We need an economy that works for ALL, not just the 1%.
Anonymous megadonors have spent over $1 billion to buy the 2026 election. Elon Musk has spent over $90 million. Billionaires buying elections is not democracy—it's oligarchy. ENOUGH. We need to end Citizens United, get super PACs out of primaries & publicly fund election…
Trump, like all authoritarians, wants to silence those who disagree with him. Now he's trying to punish an NBC journalist for reporting on his mixed endorsement record. Sorry, Mr. President. In America, we believe in democracy and the First Amendment. FIGHT BACK.
Dr. Martin Luther King understood that political freedom and economic freedom are inseparable. "What good is having the right to sit at a lunch counter if you can't afford to buy a hamburger?" he famously asked. Today, Dr. King’s dream is under unprecedented attack. FIGHT BACK.
Dorchester. Thanks for the great turnout today. Status quo politics and status quo policies are not working. We have to fight for an agenda that works for all, not just the few. That’s exactly why we need to send Ed Markey back to the United States Senate.
At a time of historic income and wealth inequality, we need leaders in Congress who stand with working families, not billionaires. We need leaders who will fight for Medicare for All and raise the minimum wage to a living wage. Ed Markey is that leader.
The city of Tempe, AZ, is turning off all of its Flock cameras and ending its contract with this AI surveillance company backed by Big Tech oligarchs like Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel. Good. The American people do not want to be tracked and recorded by AI.
Sen. Ed Markey is taking on the oligarchs and delivering for working families. Not surprisingly, a super PAC supporting his opponent has raised over $5 million from corporate interests to try and defeat him. Please join me, Ed, Elizabeth Warren and Ayanna Pressley on Saturday.
62 years ago, people from across the country stood with Dr. King on the National Mall to fight racism and economic injustice. Those struggles continue today. Join me tomorrow in D.C. at the March on Washington: Defend the Vote rally.
Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, which made $60 billion last year, agreed to pay up to $17 billion for getting children addicted to its platforms. This is a good step forward. Much more needs to be done. It’s time to put our kids' health over Big Tech oligarchs’ greed.
The U.S. now spends twice as much per capita on healthcare as other major countries, all of which have universal healthcare. Why? The function of the U.S. system isn't quality care for all. It is massive profits for insurance and drug companies. We need Medicare for All NOW.
Sergey Brin is leading a $90 million ad campaign to stop California's 5% billionaire wealth tax. He is $133 billion richer since Trump's election. But that's apparently not enough. He'd rather children lose access to healthcare than pay his fair share. Greed is a sickness.
So far, in the 2026 elections, 50 mega donors have spent $1.6 BILLION. 🟦George Soros (D): $102M 🟥Jeffrey & Janine Yass (R): $93.8M 🟥Ben Horowitz & Marc Andreessen (R): $91.3M 🟥Elon Musk (R): $90.6M 🟥Elizabeth & Richard Uihlein (R): $70M 🟥Miriam Adelson (R): $67.6M 🟥Greg &…
Trump-pardoned January 6 rioter Jake Lang is in Michigan targeting Abdul El-Sayed, burning Qurans and calling Muslims “insidious parasites.” Will Mike Rogers and the Republican leadership condemn Lang’s bigotry and hatred—or will they continue to fan the flames of Islamophobia?
Americans are fighting back against inequality. Despite billionaires spending $156M against it & opposition from leaders of both parties, California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax is winning 48-41% in a new poll. Billionaires WILL pay their fair share. It begins in CA.
Five months ago, AOC and I called for a moratorium on new AI data centers. We were called “radical,” “crazy” and “extremists.” Today, 75% of Americans agree and hundreds of candidates are responding. The message is clear: We need a moratorium.
Since Trump won in 2024, this is how much richer the oligarchs have become: Elon Musk: $531 billion Larry Page: $139 billion Jeff Bezos: $60 billion Sergey Brin: $128 billion Michael Dell: $107 billion FIGHT FOR AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR ALL, NOT JUST THE FEW.
Elon Musk spent $290M to elect Trump. Now he wants to spend up to $200M to buy a Senate seat in Texas and keep Republicans in control of Congress. That’s not democracy. That’s oligarchy. End Citizens United. Ban super PACs. Get billionaires—from both parties—out of elections.
The 2026 elections are not just about the economy, healthcare, AI, etc. They're about stopping Trump’s efforts to undermine democracy. When we stand together and organize at the grassroots, we will not only defeat authoritarianism but create a government that works for all.
What do Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, Peggy Flanagan and Angie Nixon have in common? They all ran strong progressive grassroots campaigns.  They were all heavily outspent. THEY ALL WON. The establishment has the money. We have the people. When we stand together, we win.
It’s not complicated. Despite being heavily outspent, many progressives across the country are winning elections for one simple reason: The ideas they are running on are extremely popular.
Democratic Socialist State Representative Angie Nixon, outspent more than 16 to 1, pulled off a HUGE upset to win the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Florida. Congratulations Angie!
Trump demanded Jimmy Kimmel be fired. He said The View should be "pulled off air." His FCC threatened ABC broadcast licenses. Now ABC is suing to defend the 1st Amendment rights Americans fought and died to defend. Sorry, Mr. Trump: we're not living in a dictatorship.
At a time when the billionaire class has never ever had it so good, a new poll finds that 67% of Americans believe the wealthy are not paying their fair share of taxes. And they’re right. Congress: Listen to the American people. Tax billionaire wealth.
A new report shows there are 57 Trump officials worth at least $100 million. Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg: "This government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Donald Trump: A government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich.
Our current healthcare system is broken. Progressives understand healthcare must be a human right, guaranteed to all, not a source of billions in profits for insurance and drug companies. A recent poll showed 64% of Americans want Medicare for All. They’re right. Let’s do it.
Almost every day, there is a new story about companies losing control of AI, with potentially cataclysmic results. It is not too late to avoid disaster. In the interest of humanity, AI leaders must PAUSE AI development. Stop building machines that humans cannot control.
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING BACK Young people understand that, in the richest country on Earth, there is no rational reason why their generation should face a lower standard of living than their parents. And they’re fighting back. Progressives are winning across the country bec…
900 million people just saw the hottest July on record The world's oceans just saw the hottest July on record July was the hottest month in the recorded history of the United States No, Mr. President. Climate change is not a “hoax.” It is an emergency that demands bold action.
The billionaire class has the money. We have the people. Peggy Flanagan and Abdul El-Sayed just proved that we can take on billionaire-funded super PACs and win. The people are fighting back.
