Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level.

We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

Today, we express our gratitude to all those who have defended our country and to the families of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Every veteran who defends this nation must get the quality health care and benefits they have earned and receive the respect they deserve.

💡 Lighting accounts for 15–20% of a building’s electricity use, so switching to energy-efficient LEDs is a bright idea—it reduces electricity consumption and cuts greenhouse gas emissions from power generation.

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.

I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year.

All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Let me get this straight, Trump is:

💰Asking the government to pay him $230 million
🏰Spending $250 million to build himself a ballroom
🇦🇷Sending $20 billion to Argentina

But, he is refusing to lower your health care costs. Trump is showing you his priorities.

Big Tech oligarchs are coming for your job.

Jeff Bezos will be replacing 600,000 jobs at Amazon with robots. His vision: fully automate operations.

Amazon's not alone. That's the direction of every major corporation.

AI & robotics must benefit workers, not the top 1%.

In the middle of all Trump’s distractions, pay attention to the fundamental issue:

While the richest people are getting richer, tens of millions of people are struggling to pay for rent & groceries.

Now 15 million Americans are going to be thrown off health care. Unacceptable.

Israel betrays Palestinians AGAIN! Since 1948 Israel and the West has lied to and betrayed Palestinians on every deal and treaty.
Here it is. Trump's Gaza cease-fire deal just went up in flames.

Reported just 12 minutes ago.

Israel not only has suspended aid into Gaza but has launched a massive wave of attacks.

Time Magazine is going to have to come up with a new cover of Trump.
