It’s time for the United States to join every other major country and guarantee health care as a human right. I’m LIVE with someone who literally wrote the book on Medicare for All — and who’s running to be Michigan’s next Senator, @abdulelsayed.

When demagogues like Trump are in trouble, they reach for the same playbook: racism, hatred and division, this time against Rep. Ilhan Omar and the Somali-American community. It’s disgusting. It’s un-American. And it won’t work.

Since Trump was elected: Mark Zuckerberg got $25 billion richer Jeff Bezos got $36 billion richer Larry Ellison got $78 billion richer Elon Musk got $187 billion richer Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, food & housing costs soar and AI is killing jobs.

Workers across this country are sick and tired of the corporate greed and union busting they suffer day in and day out. @ZohranKMamdani and I were proud to stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers. We need an economy that works for all of us, not just the 1%.

We need fighters in Congress who will take on powerful special interests, pass Medicare for All and demand that the billionaire class start paying their fair share of taxes. @NateforUtah is that fighter. He will always stand with working Americans. I’m proud to endorse him.

I will be joining Dr. @AbdulElSayed for a virtual town hall at 7pm ET TOMORROW to discuss our health care crisis. We'll take questions about Republican efforts to gut Medicaid & the ACA and how we can provide health care for all as a human right. Have a question? Drop it below.

Number of people who go bankrupt a year due to medical debt: Germany: 0 France: 0 UK: 0 Japan: 0 Norway: 0 Denmark: 0 Finland: 0 Sweden: 0 Italy: 0 Australia: 0 Canada: 0 Spain: 0 Portugal: 0 Iceland: 0 Netherlands: 0 United States: 530,000 Yes. We need Medicare for All — NOW.

Interesting WP article. When you add up the cost of housing, health care, childcare, food, transportation & taxes the average American family is struggling to survive. The billionaires get richer. Working families can’t afford the basic necessities. Something is very wrong here.

On Black Friday, Amazon workers worldwide are on strike. They want to know why Jeff Bezos, the 5th wealthiest person on earth at $251 billion, can’t provide them with decent wages or working conditions. It’s time for international solidarity. Let’s stand with striking workers.

Starbucks paid its new CEO $96 million for just four months of work. In four years, it has failed to sign a contract with nearly 12,000 of its union workers. This is what corporate greed is all about. I stand with Starbucks workers.

As oligarchs and corporate interests continue to capture our government, we need true progressives to take our country back for working people. Analilia’s experience and deep dedication to working families make her the best choice for this seat. I’m proud to endorse her.

The struggle is not whether AI is good or bad. It’s who controls it and who benefits from it.

In an authoritarian society, a handful of oligarchs own media. Here’s where we are in America: Musk owns X. Zuckerberg owns Facebook & Instagram. The Ellisons own CBS — and are eyeing CNN & TikTok. Bezos owns Twitch & the Washington Post. We must combat oligarchy.

Trump wants to deregulate AI and let the richest people on earth do whatever they want. Unacceptable. It will make the oligarchs richer while millions lose jobs and income. AI must improve life for all of us — not just make a few multi-billionaires even more powerful.

Good news. Across the country, strong progressives are running for Congress. The GOP is an extreme right-wing party, and the Democratic establishment defends a broken status quo. The American people want real change — and that’s why we’re going to win.

Robert Reich is right. The move toward authoritarianism is not just Trump suing and intimidating mainstream media. It is the growing concentration of ownership in what we see, hear and read.

Important Washington Post article. A majority of Americans agree: If democracy is to survive, billionaires cannot be allowed to buy elections. We must overturn Citizens United and move to the public funding of elections.

Here are some of the most powerful AI oligarchs in the world, enjoying a private dinner with a dictator who murders his own citizens with a bone saw. Does anyone really believe that they want to "wipe out poverty” or improve life for ordinary Americans? I don’t.

MBS starved hundreds of thousands in Yemen, had a US journalist dismembered, and ordered record executions. But Trump welcomed this murderer to the WH. Some of the wealthiest people in America joined him. Trump is signaling support for worldwide oligarchy & authoritarianism.
