Congratulations to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his reelection victory in Brazil. Despite Big Tech oligarchs and Trump tilting the playing field against him, Lula prevailed. He will continue to fight for Brazilian workers and democracy over the next four years.

Climate change killed 32,000+ people in Europe this summer. Trump believes this crisis is a "hoax." Republicans in Congress are following their "Great Leader.” NO to Trump’s fossil fuel agenda. YES to creating millions of jobs by moving our energy system away from fossil fuels.

A new survey reveals a record-high 92 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. Why? Trump and Republicans made massive cuts to Medicaid and the ACA to pay for tax breaks for the 1%. Thousands will die because they can’t afford healthcare. We must pass Medicare for All.

As the NBA season begins this week, remember: 26 out of 30 NBA owners are billionaires — getting richer every day. Meanwhile, the average ticket price to see the Knicks play the Sixers last night cost $1,894. No. You should not have to be rich to take your kids to a ball game.

No, Mr. Trump. The American people don’t want you to immediately rename New Mexico to New America. They want you to immediately end your illegal Iran War that is forcing Americans to pay $4.30 a gallon for gas, $6.30 a gallon for diesel & $6.04 a gallon for heating oil. Eno…Mostrar mais

Trump just endorsed Netanyahu.  No surprise. One authoritarian helping another stay in power. Trump and Netanyahu. More war. More destruction. More genocide. We must end the Republican rubber-stamp Congress. We must stop all military aid to Israel.

With gas prices soaring, a war with Iran, and millions unable to afford healthcare, Trump has tackled the major crisis of our time: His administration plans to transform East Potomac Golf Links into a championship-level golf course. Seriously! Happy golfing, Mr. President.

Here’s a radical idea: Let’s not let Big Tech Oligarchs replace the human race.

No, Mr. Trump. America is not making “a fortune” off high gas prices, but your Big Oil pals are. The average U.S household got $2,000 poorer as a result of the Iran War, while Big Oil got $125 billion richer this year. End this war. Put a windfall profits tax on Big Oil.

At a time when our healthcare system is broken, Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill": -Took healthcare away from 15 million people -Put nearly 500 rural hospitals at risk of closure -Shut down maternity wards across the country All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%.

Should human beings remain in control of planet Earth? Or should we be replaced as the dominant species? As absurd as these questions may sound, and as obvious as the answers may seem, the Big Tech oligarchs funding the artificial-intelligence revolution have responded in ways th…Mostrar mais

Days before his election, Netanyahu’s extremist government is again cutting off food and shelter for 2 million people in Gaza. This illegal and immoral collective punishment will starve children. Not another tax dollar for these atrocities. END U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL NOW!

I don't usually agree with Republican officials. But yesterday, a group of eight state Attorneys General, including seven Republicans, sued OpenAI for endangering the American people through its reckless development of ChatGPT. Here is just some of what they said: The Arkansas…Mostrar mais

Fires in Southern Europe drove one of the region's worst mass evacuations since WWII. Fires in North America drove dangerous air quality for more than 100 million people. Trump's Big Oil friends have created this planetary crisis. They must be held accountable.

Trump says: “This is the greatest economy ever.” Really? While billionaires got $2.2 trillion richer in the past year, nearly half of Americans have trouble paying for healthcare, housing, transportation or food. Trump’s economy: Great for billionaires, a disaster for workers.

Billionaires pay the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we ended that absurdity & applied the payroll tax to all income above $250,000, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years & benefits would be expanded by $2,400. Let’s do it.

Elon Musk, who wants to build millions of robots per year to replace workers, is now worried about the “pain” humans may cause AI. No Mr. Musk, we should be worried about the pain that AI could cause humanity, not the other way around. HUMANS FIRST.

No, Mr. Altman. We won’t accept a severe AI cyberattack in exchange for “liberty.” 74% of the American people don’t trust Big Tech Oligarchs. And for good reason. Sam Altman, the co-founder of OpenAI, recently said: “There is a coming tidal wave of cybersecurity problems that a…Mostrar mais

Trump’s Department of Justice is investigating 5 major TV networks for “antitrust violations” after they stood up for press freedom. ABC CBS CNN NBC Fox News No, Mr. Trump, we are not a dictatorship. In America, media is allowed to criticize you. It’s called the 1st Amendment.

Trump and his family have made over $2 billion off the presidency, including millions in stocks that directly benefit from AI data center development and chip manufacturing. Now Trump is calling AI's threats a "hoax" and is refusing to rein in Big Tech. I wonder why.

Trump just sanctioned the International Criminal Court, which prosecutes war crimes. Why? Because the ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and a Hamas commander over war crimes in Gaza, just as it did for Putin over Ukraine. No, Mr. President: War criminals are NOT above the law.

Big Tech oligarchs are secretly preparing for a “catastrophic AI event” that could threaten our banking, healthcare, internet, electricity and water systems. They’re racing to build a technology they can’t control and that threatens humanity. CONGRESS MUST PAUSE ADVANCED AI D…Mostrar mais

The level of income and wealth inequality in the U.S. is beyond insane. The top 0.00001% (just 20 households) now owns over $4 trillion — more than 12 times the wealth of the bottom 50% COMBINED. We must defeat oligarchy. Billionaire wealth tax NOW.

Why is life expectancy in McDowell County, WV, just 65 years — 14 years below the national average? The answer: poverty and economic stress. In the richest country on earth, no community — rural or urban — should have to live under these conditions. We can and must do better.

Why is the price of gas $4.38 a gallon? Why is the price of heating oil $5.87 a gallon? Why is the price of diesel $6.20 a gallon? The answer is obvious: Trump's illegal war in Iran. Who benefits? Big Oil, which made $125 billion in profits this year. End this war — NOW.

Trump’s right: We have the best economy in the world — for billionaires. Not so good for workers. Musk 2024: $308B 2026: $933B Bezos 2024: $230B 2026: $369B Meanwhile: gas, housing and healthcare costs are soaring. We need an economy that works for ALL, not just the 1%.

It is not complicated. Artificial intelligence must be used to benefit all of humanity, not make a handful of multi-billionaires even richer.

The Trump admin just waived human rights conditions on $300 million in military aid to the dictatorship in Egypt. The same week, Egypt’s government arrested the entire newsroom of an independent outlet. NO MORE U.S. WEAPONS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSERS

Going to the doctor? Flock knows. Dropping your kid off at school? Flock is tracking you. Big Tech oligarchs are funding over 100,000 AI–powered Flock surveillance cameras to track Americans’ every move. Ban Flock NOW.

Thanks to Trump’s “Big, Beautiful, Bill” monthly student loan bills are skyrocketing for millions of Americans. Many report payments more than doubling.
 Why? Because Trump made the largest cut to education in history to pay for tax breaks for his oligarch friends. Unacceptable.

According to a new WSJ poll: 63% want to pause AI development 61% want a billionaire wealth tax 59% want Medicare for All 57% want a $20 minimum wage 58% want to end U.S. military aid to Israel The American people want real change. DEMOCRATS MUST LISTEN.

In January 2024 I forced a vote to investigate human rights abuses by Israel in Gaza. Only 11 Senators supported it. Today, 47 Senators voted on a similar resolution to investigate Israel’s actions in the West Bank. Listen to the American people: NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

The United States cannot keep bankrolling the violence in Gaza and the West Bank. It's time to end our complicity. NO MORE TAXPAYER SUPPORT FOR THE EXTREMIST NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT.

In Trump’s vulgar world of oligarchy, greed and corruption, he wants to cut off student loans for these majors because he doesn't think graduates will earn enough: Teaching Social work Art Counseling Religious studies Music Pathetic!

Israel's election committee banned both major Arab parties four weeks before the election. If it wasn’t already clear, Netanyahu and his far-right allies want an Israel where Palestinian citizens, 20% of the population, have no voice at all. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL

Tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they cannot afford to go to the doctor. Unacceptable. I asked Trump's FDA nominee Heidi Overton if she believes healthcare is a human right. Her answer was not surprising.

The leading experts are clear: AI is rapidly escaping our control. Congress must act NOW. Today I’m introducing legislation to permanently ban artificial superintelligence and pause advanced AI until clear safety rules are in place.

Instead of spending billions more on horrific weapons of destruction, governments must come together to protect working families and the planet. We must end Trump’s war in Iran, U.S. military aid to Netanyahu, Putin’s war in Ukraine and the UAE’s support for the RSF in Sudan.

As President of Brazil, Lula da Silva has lifted millions out of poverty, strengthened worker protections and protected Brazilian democracy. I very much enjoyed meeting with him yesterday to discuss the important issues facing Brazil, the United States and the global community.

At a pivotal moment in world history, let us move forward together with the courage and strength to defeat a powerful, greedy and corrupt ruling class. Remember the immortal words of Nelson Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it is done.”

Scientists and industry leaders have been increasingly clear: AI could soon be smarter than humans and function outside of our control. For the sake of all of humanity, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty NOW to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.

The major issues facing our nation — income inequality, oligarchy, the climate crisis, the threat of AI — are not just American challenges. They’re global challenges. Join me Monday on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly at the historic Riverside Church in NYC.
