We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality. It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

Most young people are worried, as they should be, about the impact that AI will have on their lives and their ability to earn a decent living. Our job is not complicated. We must make certain that AI and robotics improve life for all, and not just make billionaires even richer.

The American people know that our current health care system is broken and extremely expensive. They understand that health care is a human right. A recent poll shows that 6 in 10 back Medicare for All. Let’s do it.

Vermont, like much of the U.S., lacks affordable dental care. On Tuesday, I visited the future home of Detroit Mercy’s new dental clinic in Colchester. When students arrive in 2027, this facility will help tackle our dentist shortage & become the largest dental facility in VT.

Jane and I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. Let’s never forget that when we stand together, with hope and love, we can create the future based on peace and justice that we all deserve.

As winter arrives, over one million Gazans lack shelter, with 92% of housing destroyed by Israel. In violation of the ceasefire, Netanyahu continues to restrict the entry of tents and other aid, including food. The U.S. must demand that Israel allow full humanitarian access NOW

Congratulations to the UVM Catamounts men’s soccer team on an excellent season. I know you’re disappointed that you didn’t repeat as NCAA Division 1 Champs, but a 14-1 season ain’t bad. You made the entire state proud.

In two years, Israel has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Every day, settlers attack Palestinian villages. Netanyahu & his extremist allies have one goal: annexation by force. The U.S. has enabled them. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID FOR ISRAEL.

Trump & Hegseth want to investigate Sen. Kelly — a combat veteran — for insisting troops aren’t forced to violate the law. Here is Kelly’s response:

I want to thank the students and educators at Twinfield Union School for inviting me to have a wonderful discussion about the many issues impacting them, our state and the country.

Republicans have a million ideas regarding health care. Except one. They will never acknowledge that health care is a human right — to be guaranteed to ALL.

I stand with the 200 CNH Industrial @UAW workers in Burlington, Iowa, fighting against corporate greed to protect their jobs. CNH raked in $1.3 billion in profit and paid its CEO nearly $20 million last year alone. CNH can afford to respect its workers and protect these jobs.

Corning workers in North Carolina & Michigan are exercising their constitutional right to unionize with @Steelworkers for better wages, benefits & working conditions.  Corning must stop its illegal union busting & intimidation. I stand in solidarity with these brave workers.

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not. The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose? Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming? I doubt it.

At a time when solar and wind are the cheapest forms of new energy in the world, Trump wants to open a BILLION acres of US water to oil drilling. Why? To line the pockets of his fossil fuel billionaire friends. The rest of the world moves forward, we get left behind.

. @jonstewart and I agree: AI must work for everybody, not just a handful of billionaires.

Their goal is not complicated: This is a deliberate strategy to defund & privatize public education in America. This is moving us in exactly the wrong direction. I call on @usedgov to immediately reverse course and do its job: strengthen our public schools, not dismantle them.
