We cannot allow billionaires to determine the outcome of our elections. Citizens United has got to go. It's time for public funding of elections.

Maybe, just maybe, working people deserve to be able to afford a damn hamburger.

I don't care if you're in rural Wyoming, or New York City. You can't make it on $12 bucks an hour. It's time to raise the minimum wage.

Trump is putting the planet and future generations at risk for the short-term profits of his fossil fuel executive friends.

In America today, we rank 34th out of 35 countries in childhood poverty and millions of children are food insecure. Maybe, just maybe, my Republican colleagues would consider holding a single hearing about how we improve the lives of American kids.

Artificial Intelligence is built on the creative work of millions of writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary people. That work has been stolen by Big Tech oligarchs. Now's the time to reclaim it and ensure AI works for ALL, not just the few.

If you give a politician $5 to influence a vote, it’s bribery. If billionaires spend $50 million to influence an election, it’s legal. That is what a corrupt campaign finance system looks like.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop &amp; deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

We need a moratorium on AI data centers NOW. Here’s why.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Will AI become smarter than humans? If so, is humanity in danger? I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading AI experts that question. Here’s what they had to say:

When it comes to AI, we’ve heard this story before. We’ve heard the ruling class come forward and say, “Unfettered free trade. What a great thing it’s going to be for the American worker.” They lied.

Elon Musk has been backing neo-Nazi parties around the world, interfering in elections and using his massive platform to attack anyone who doesn’t share his extreme right-wing views.

I attended Trump’s inauguration yesterday. Here are my thoughts:

We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy. Here are my thoughts:

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST STAND FIRM. We must not be dragged into Netanyahu’s illegal war against Iran.

Hello, Elon Musk! Just a couple of questions for you:

In public life, we all make misstatements. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, "the American people are now paying the lowest costs in the world rather than the highest for prescription drugs." That is an absurd statement.

I like the slogan "Make America Healthy Again." I agree with that effort. But when I asked Robert F. Kennedy if health care is a human right, he couldn't give me an answer:

I don’t agree with the Trump administration on much but Dr. Means, his nominee for Surgeon General, is right when she says we should ban TV ads for junk food. Obesity is a national crisis and the corporate food industry is largely responsible.

RFK's Children's Health Defense is making money selling a child's onesie with the phrases "No Vax, No Problem" and "Unvaxxed, Unafraid" to parents for $26. Now that RFK is "pro-vaccine", will he ask his organization to stop selling these vehemently anti-vaccine products?

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water &amp; electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.
