Afghans who risked their lives alongside U.S. troops were promised safety. Forcing them to choose between near-certain death at the hands of the Taliban or a country they’ve never known is cruel and immoral. We must not betray those who risk their lives to protect our soldiers.

The Trump family has made $4 billion off the presidency. Crypto: $3.02B Persian Gulf deals: $425.8M Qatari jet: $150M Legal fees/merch: $127.7M Mar-a-Lago: $125M Corporate deals: $91M Hanoi hotel: $40M Truth Social: $25M Don Jr: $19.6M Unprecedented kleptocracy.

Next weekend, I'm heading to Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio to hold rallies with @AbdulElSayed, @peggyflanagan and @bpforcongress. We need members of Congress who are ready to fight for a working class that has been ignored for far too long. Join us.

Call me radical, but I don’t think we should be throwing millions of Americans off health care while we bail out a ruthless dictator whose family is worth $300 billion.

Super PACs like AIPAC, AI and crypto are buying elections with billionaire money. We'll never address the major crises facing our country as long as that continues. We must overturn Citizens United and kick billionaire-funded super PACs OUT of Democratic primaries NOW.

It's not just Gaza, Iran and Lebanon. In the West Bank since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have: Killed 1,071 Palestinians Demolished 6,000+ homes Built 200+ illegal outposts No more U.S. military aid to Israel.

$200 million from crypto. $185 million from AI. $94 million from AIPAC. That’s how much billionaire-funded super PACs are spending to buy our elections. Get super PACs out of Democratic primaries. End Citizens United NOW.

In these dangerous and unprecedented times, progressives are making real gains. From major election wins in New Jersey and New York to growing support to end military aid to Israel and new action on AI, working people are fighting back — and winning.

Why did I go to West Virginia? Because from red states to blue states, the agenda we’re fighting for — guaranteeing health care to all, decent wages and making the wealthy pay their fair share — is what the overwhelming majority of the American people want.

Young Americans are among those most threatened by AI, climate change, and an economic and political system dominated by billionaires. That is why, now more than ever, it is critical for young people to organize and get involved in the political process. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

According to a recent poll, 77% of voters support raising taxes on billionaires. Maybe, just maybe, at a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality, it’s time for Congress to listen to the American people and pass a wealth tax on billionaires.

Maine just became the first state in the nation to pass a moratorium on new AI data centers. The American people increasingly understand that these revolutionary technologies have got to improve life for all of us, not just make the richest people in the world even richer.

This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like: Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 billion in profit. Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All.

The rich are getting richer while working people are struggling to feed their families. AI and robotics will make a bad situation even worse. We need a new boldness in organizing workers. With union solidarity we can have AI benefit all, not just a handful of billionaires.

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than: Walt Disney Citigroup CVS Kohl's Ticketmaster Tesla United Airlines GoDaddy Paypal Palantir Roku HP 3M PG&E Halliburton That’s absurd. We need real and progressive tax reform.

AI and robotics will have a profound impact on the lives of American workers, our privacy, warfare, the health and education of our children and, perhaps, the very existence of the human race. Yet, with the AI industry planning to spend $300 million this election cycle, Democrats are being pressured by consultants to avoid “antagonizing” them. Unacceptable. Democrats must get super PACS out of their primaries.  Citizens United must be overturned. We must have the courage to take on the AI Oligarchs.

CEOs of large corporations now make more than 350 times what the average worker earns. San Francisco’s Prop D will tax billion-dollar corporations that pay their CEOs outrageous salaries to fund essential services devastated by Donald Trump’s funding cuts. Vote yes on Prop D.

Congratulations to Analilia Mejía on her landslide victory tonight in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District. Analilia will be a great progressive addition to the House in the fight for economic, racial, social and environmental justice. I look forward to serving with her.

We’re making progress. The American people are sick and tired of Netanyahu’s wars. Congress is beginning to respond.
