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.

We need a fundamental change in our national priorities. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Given the horrific destruction that Israel’s extremist government has wrought on Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, the last thing in the world American taxpayers need to do right now is to provide 22,000 new bombs to the Netanyahu government. No more weapons to support an illegal war.

The defining issue of our time is inequality. Never before have so few owned so much and wielded so much power. We are living in an oligarchy. That must change. My speech to the National Community Action Foundation: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Trump and his friends are in political trouble. Their response? Make it harder for you to vote and disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans. Trump said it out loud: If they pass the SAVE Act, Republicans will "never lose a race for 50 years.” Vote NO.

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

Wealth inequality has never been so bad. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck, 938 billionaires got $1.5T richer in 2025. Justice Brandeis was right: "We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

While the billionaire class is getting richer and richer, Gallup reports that 33% of Americans are cutting back on food, utilities and prescription drugs because of the high cost of health care. We need an economy that works for all, not just the 1%. We need Medicare for All.

Why did Trump and Netanyahu start a war with Iran? I spoke to the experts: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Trump is a demagogue who not only targets Democrats with bogus criminal charges, but goes after conservative Republicans like Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Powell’s “crime”? He didn't bow to Trump. Today, a judge appropriately blocked the Justice Department from issuing subpoenas.

We should all be outraged by the recent attack on the synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan. This is part of a growing tide of antisemitism in our country. As Americans, we must stand together and fight antisemitism, Islamophobia and all forms of racism and bigotry.

Finland is ranked the happiest country in the world. What lessons could other countries — including the United States — learn from them? twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We cannot return to a world where might makes right.   The attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel are unraveling international law and pushing the world toward greater instability and chaos.   My conversation with Iranian experts: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

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

On Saturday, Trump told us the attack on an elementary school in Iran that killed 175 people – mostly children – “was done by Iran.” Now the U.S. military admits it was a U.S. strike. If they are lying about something as obvious as this, what else are they lying about?

Finland is ranked the happiest country in the world. It has strong unions, top-ranked pensions and universal health care — despite spending far less than the U.S. What lessons should Americans take from the Finnish model? twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

No. Might does not make right.

I am delighted that dogs are able to receive high-quality health care. But what about humans? In America today, 85 million are uninsured or under-insured. Health care must be considered a human right. We need Medicare for All, NOW.

Walk into a sandwich shop. It’s regulated for health and safety. But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. That’s insane. We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.

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:
