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.

Let me be very clear: opposing the genocide in Gaza is not antisemitism.

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%.

Should Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, pay the same amount of taxes into Social Security as a fireman or nurse? Of course not. The answer isn't complicated. Let's lift the cap and make the wealthiest people in America pay their fair share to strengthen Social Security.

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.

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.

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.

Tonight was a very bad night.

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:

Americans are saying loudly and clearly: No more U.S. military support for the extremist Netanyahu government. That is why Congress must vote NO on the defense spending bill, which brings the U.S. and Israeli militaries even closer together.

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:

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

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

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:

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?

Teens that spend over 4 hours a day on screens are more depressed, more isolated and more anti-social. Is this really the world we want for our children? I talked to parents about how we can stop Big Tech from rewiring our kids' brains.

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

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.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & 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%.
