Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

As we focus on Iran and Lebanon, let's not forget what’s happening in the West Bank. In one year, more than 36,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced and 240 were killed. There were over 1,700 attacks by Israeli settlers. We must end U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

Joseph Kent, a top counterterrorism official under Trump, just resigned. Kent and I don't agree on much, but he is right: "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

ILLINOIS: AIPAC, Crypto, AI and their right-wing Super PACs have spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat progressives like @RobertJPeters, @JunaidForUs, and @Citizens4Karina. Tuesday is your chance to prove money can't buy this election. VOTE.

AIPAC is spending millions in Democratic primaries to smear critics of Netanyahu’s genocidal policies. It’s time to kick AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super PACs out of Democratic primaries.

Netanyahu led Trump into this horrific & unpopular war. Now he doesn’t know how to get out. Cost so far: • 1,200+ Iranian civilians killed • 13 U.S. troops killed • 3.2M Iranians displaced • 773 killed in Lebanon • 10,000+ Iranians injured • $16.5B spent in 12 days

Billionaire ownership of media and the future of democracy. My thoughts:

Senator Tuberville’s post on Mayor Mamdani is nothing less than blatant Islamophobic racism. Not only should Tuberville apologize, but the Republican leadership should strongly condemn this kind of ugly behavior. We must fight racism of all kinds, not condone it.

Want to know why Congress is doing nothing on AI? AI oligarchs have already spent over $185 million buying politicians this year. There it is. It’s no more complicated than that.

It’s not just Iran. It’s Lebanon. In less than 2 weeks, Israel has killed 570 people and displaced 750,000 — over 10% of the entire country. Residential buildings are being bombed with no warning. The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Netanyahu’s wars.

One family, the right-wing Trump-aligned Ellisons, will soon control: TikTok CBS CNN HBO Discovery Channel BET Cartoon Network Comedy Central DC Studios Fandango Miramax MTV Nickelodeon Paramount PlutoTV Showtime TBS The CW TNT Warner Bros. And more This is oligarchy.

AIPAC, crypto and AI are pouring money into Illinois to try to buy congressional seats. We cannot allow billionaire-funded super PACs to decide our elections. Join me to get out the vote for @robertjpeters, @junaidforUS and @Citizens4Karina. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

A new poll shows voters overwhelmingly support California’s proposal to tax billionaire wealth to fund health care — by nearly a 2-to-1 margin. The American people are sick and tired of massive income and wealth inequality. Billionaires need to start paying their fair share.

TONIGHT, at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT, I will be hosting a livestream to get out the vote in next week's Illinois elections. I'll be joined by @DeliaCRamirez, @Citizens4Karina, @JunaidForUs and @RobertJPeters. I hope you'll join.

The U.S. government must represent our interests, not Netanyahu’s.

Not content to control the economy and own much of the media, the billionaire class is now buying elections and undermining American democracy.   Yes. We need a wealth tax on billionaires. Yes. We need to overturn Citizens United.

Are we entering another period of global barbarism? Putin’s invasion of Ukraine - 500,000 dead. Netanyahu’s war against the people of Gaza - 72,000 dead. Trump’s war in Iran - thousands dead already.

Amid unprecedented income & wealth inequality, oligarchs increasingly control our economy & media. They’re undermining democracy with massive campaign contributions. Our job: keep building a grassroots movement to create a government that works for all, not the few.

We’re told there’s not enough money for health care, affordable housing or education. But somehow there are billions for an illegal & unconstitutional war with Iran. We need a government that works for all of us — not the military-industrial complex, not Israel, not super PACs.
