NEW: America's billionaires are now worth a record $5.8 TRILLION. That's a 99% increase in wealth since Trump and Republicans slashed taxes for the rich in 2017. Much of those wealth gains will never be taxed. We don't need another Trump tax scam—we need to tax the rich.

Iran has finally retaliated against Israel. I was the only candidate that warned that this conflict if left unabated would lead to a regional conflagration. Our only hope for a permanent and lasting peace is to stop giving arms to Israel and officially recognizing Palestine.
