Last night, Donald Trump, our pathological liar-in-chief, said: “Every single promise I made to you as a candidate, I’ve delivered on. I’ve delivered on everything.” Really? Well, let’s go down the list. Since becoming president again, Trump promised: ✅ $5,000 DOGE dividend…Mostrar mais

Jacob Coxon is not alone: AI Superintelligence is an Existential Threat to Humanity Recently, Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at Anthropic and OpenAI, sent shockwaves throughout the world by stating, “The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end…Mostrar mais

A new NBC poll found 81% of Americans believe the government is not doing enough to regulate AI. They’re right. AI threatens our economy, privacy, democracy and the well-being of our kids. Congress must stand up to the Big Tech oligarchs and protect the American people.

Over the last 50 years, $79 trillion has been transferred from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. CEOs now make 350 times more than their average workers, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We can and must create an economy that works for all, not just the 1%.

On this Labor Day we give our thanks to the millions of trade unionists in our country who are leading the fight for economic, social and racial justice. Thanks to all of you for what you’re doing. Let’s go forward together.

Not only has Trump’s illegal and disastrous war in Iran resulted in thousands of casualties, it is wreaking havoc on the economy. The national average gas price has never been above $4 a gallon on Labor Day Weekend. Today, it’s $4.15.  We must end this war NOW.

71% of Americans support labor unions but, due to illegal union-busting by corporations like Amazon & Starbucks, only 10% of workers belong to one. That must change. We must pass the PRO Act & make it easier for workers to exercise their constitutional right to form unio…Mostrar mais

Trump’s proposal to strip the tax-exempt status of 18,000 schools that refuse to bend to his racist views is not only illegal, but a blatant attempt to deny a quality education to Black, Latino and Native Americans. In the USA, we must provide quality education to ALL.

If the leaders of the major AI companies admit that they are losing control of their extremely dangerous technology, it is time for an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development and a permanent BAN on superintelligence.

Gloria Steinem was a pioneer in the fight for women’s rights. She opened the door for generations of women, fighting for abortion access, affordable childcare, fair wages and full gender equality. She was a brave and heroic figure. She will be greatly missed.

The leaders of the AI industry acknowledge that they are building a dangerous technology that they can’t control. We need an immediate global PAUSE on advanced AI development before it’s too late. That is why I am introducing legislation to do just that.

No, Mr. Trump. The American people don’t want you to rename the Strait of Hormuz after yourself. They want you to end your illegal war in Iran that has raised diesel prices to $5.69 a gallon & gas prices to $4.12 a gallon. You’re the President, not a mad king. Act like it.

We already spend twice as much per capita as the people of any other nation to make huge profits for the drug and insurance companies. Under Trump, it's only getting worse. The function of health care must be to provide quality care for all, not to make CEO’s richer.

Wanna know why 42% of cancer patients in America deplete their life savings within 2 years? Well, maybe it has something to do with the greed of Big Pharma charging over $400,000 for new cancer drugs. That’s insane. Getting cancer in America shouldn’t cause you to go bankrupt.

The CEOs of major AI companies acknowledge that they are losing control of their incredibly dangerous technology. It is irresponsible to let them make it even more powerful. For the sake of humanity CEOs must immediately pause AI development. That pause must be internationa…Mostrar mais

Listen to the words of retired Israeli generals speaking out against Israeli settlers terrorizing Palestinians in the West Bank. “This is ethnic cleansing." “Once a society behaves this way, that society is doomed.” Not another nickel for the extremist Netanyahu government.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than at any time in American history, worse than the “Gilded Age” of Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan and Carnegie. Today, the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90% and one man, Mr. Musk, o…Mostrar mais

Bill Gates is right. AI poses a grave threat to jobs and the future of humanity, and urgently addressing the risks should be “the world’s top priority.” Congress must stand up to the wealth and power of the Big Tech oligarchs. WE MUST ACT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.

An Uber driver shared with a staff member of mine how after Trump’s healthcare cuts, his monthly premiums increased 400%. His copay went from $1 to up to $90 for each of his medicines. It’s not just this Uber driver. It’s happening all over America. We need Medicare for All.

The flooding in Nepal and Tibet is devastating. Hundreds of people have died in these catastrophic floods and over 2,000 are still missing. No, President Trump. Climate change is not a hoax. It is causing devastating crises all over the planet.

ICE is terrorizing our communities and separating families at a record rate this summer. Trump's domestic army is rounding up children and deporting people who have not committed a single crime. This must end. We need real immigration reform, not a militarized ICE.

STOP FLOCK. STOP AI MASS SURVEILLANCE. Totalitarianism is when a government or another entity with overwhelming power seeks to know, control and influence everything you do, say and even think. I fear very much that if we don't act aggressively, that is where we’re heading.…Mostrar mais

75% of Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities. Trump's response: Deny the public the right to know what's happening and allow the Big Tech oligarchs to go forward. Pathetic. It is time to listen to the American people. AI Data Center Moratorium NOW!

There's a reason our standing in the world is declining. Trump’s in a war with Iran, a trade war with Canada & a cold war with China. He’s threatening NATO, enabling Netanyahu and cozying up to dictators in Saudi Arabia & the UAE. This isn't America first. It's Trump…Mostrar mais

The U.S. is the richest and most advanced nation on earth. We are spending huge amounts on AI to bomb Iran and destroy infrastructure. Yet after nearly 2 weeks, we can't restore electricity to Gary, IN, a low-income Black city? Unacceptable. Let’s get our priorities straight.

Youth sports generate up to $40B in annual revenue — nearly twice as much as the NFL. Middle-class families are spending up to $25K a year on a single child. Why? Because Wall Street investors are buying out teams and shutting out local communities. Corporate greed in action.

Democrats cannot simply be anti-Trump. They must be FOR a strong pro-working class agenda: Medicare for All. Raising the minimum wage to a living wage. A wealth tax on billionaires. Free public colleges and universities. Expanding Social Security.

Another week in Trump’s dysfunctional government: A new trade war with Canada, our closest ally. Threats to start a new war and “bomb the shit” out of Oman. Ignoring climate change while forest fires burn communities.

At a time when we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country it’s important to remember what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said: "What is new... is that we have the resources to get rid of poverty. The question is whether we have the will."

900 million people just experienced the hottest July on record, including in: 🇺🇸 🇲🇷 🇳🇪 🇧🇫 🇸🇩 🇰🇪 🇪🇹 🇹🇩 🇲🇽 🇸🇻 🇳🇮 🇭🇳 🇧🇷 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇬🇧 🇨🇳 🇮🇩 Climate change is not a hoax. It is an emergency.

At a time when Black Americans make up 14.5% of our population — just 5% are doctors, 4% are dentists & 8.6% are nurses. Now, Trump is making a bad health care situation even worse by cutting funding for Black medical schools due to his racist policies. That is outrageous…Mostrar mais

31 out of 32 NFL owners are billionaires. 26 out of 30 NBA owners are billionaires. 26 out of 30 MLB owners are billionaires. Your tax dollars helped build their stadiums. But today, the average person can’t afford the price of a ticket to a sporting event. That must change.

There’s a reason why Americans don’t trust Big Tech Oligarchs. These AI billionaires are threatening to obliterate their jobs, eviscerate their privacy, undermine democracy, raise their electricity bills & destroy the environment. We need a moratorium on AI data centers.

Demagogues can’t address the crises facing working families — inequality, low wages, healthcare, housing, etc. Instead, they try to divide us through racism, including a shocking rise in Islamophobia. Let’s stand together against the oligarchs and fight all forms of bigotry.

The AI surveillance company Flock has installed nearly 100,000 cameras across America to track your every movement. Going to the doctor? Flock knows. Dropping your kid off at school? Flock is tracking you. Flock is always watching. STOP AI MASS SURVEILLANCE. STOP FLOCK.

When we talk about Medicare for All, we’re not just talking about covering every man, woman and child. We’re talking about expanding Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing — something supported by 92% of Americans. Healthcare is a human right. Let’s make it happen.

Last year, Jeff Bezos sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring while his real tax rate was less than 1%. Under my 5% billionaire wealth tax, Mr. Bezos would owe $12.7 billion & still have $240 billion left over.

Our country faces many crises but there is one reality which dominates all others. Never before in history have so few people held so much wealth & power. Never before has a ruling class been so greedy & irresponsible. Taking on power isn’t easy. We can do it. We will…Mostrar mais

Unacceptable.

Life expectancy in Loudoun County, VA, the highest-earning county in the US: 84 years. Life expectancy in McDowell County, WV, one of the lowest-earning counties in the US: 65 years. Poverty, economic stress and a lack of health care are a DEATH SENTENCE. Not acceptable.

$900 million for White House vanity projects? Approved. $1 trillion tax cut for the 1%? Approved. $1 trillion for war with Iran? Approved. Lower grocery, housing or gas prices? Sorry, you're on your own. Money for billionaires. Money for war. Nothing for working people.

For years, we've been told Medicare for All is "too radical." Really? A new YouGov poll shows 64% of Americans support a Medicare for All, single-payer system. The American people agree: Healthcare is a human right. Let's get it done.

A new study confirms that Medicare for All would save 114,000 lives every year and reduce overall healthcare spending by more than $1 trillion annually. Do not tell me we cannot afford Medicare for All. What we cannot afford is a broken healthcare system based on greed.

We recently learned of the loss of human control and the creation of potentially dangerous viruses from AI. AI leaders pledged to pause development if they could no longer safely control it. Mr. Altman, Mr. Amodei, Mr. Zuckerberg: Keep your word. PAUSE AI DEVELOPMENT.
