Today, 161 years since the first Juneteenth celebration, we honor those who fought for freedom and remember the lasting legacy of slavery. Black Americans continue to face systemic challenges to living in safety and dignity. Our goal: we must end all forms of bigotry.

The future of AI must not be decided behind closed doors by billionaires seeking to maximize their power and profit. It should be decided by the American people. That's why I'm introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act.

Like Big Tobacco, Big Tech oligarchs have spent billions to addict our children to screens. This is rewiring the brains of kids and causing severe damage to their mental and cognitive health. Hear what a psychiatrist has to say about this crisis.

Thanks to Trump and his “Big Beautiful Bill,” student loan payments will go up as much as $4,000 a year starting July 1st. While billionaires get massive tax breaks, working people will be defaulting on their debts. Unacceptable.

Only 16% of Americans support arming Israel without restrictions. So what is Congress doing? Burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally. We must strip Section 224 from the Pentagon budget.

In the year 2026 we should be focusing on how we improve life for working families, reverse climate change and strengthen international law. Instead, led by Putin, Netanyahu & Trump we see more wars & human suffering and increased spending on weapons of destruction. Pathetic!

I am proud to stand in solidarity with unionizing BAE Systems shipyard workers in Jacksonville, FL. Their campaign is more important than ever after the tragic preventable death of one of their coworkers, Anthony Elrod. BAE must respect their constitutional right to unionize.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

While Pentagon spending hit $1 trillion last year, defense contractor CEOs got a raise: General Dynamics CEO: $25.9M Northrop Grumman CEO: $25.3M RTX (Raytheon) CEO: $24.8M Boeing CEO: $23.5M Lockheed Martin CEO: $23.4M This is the military-industrial complex.

It's absolutely unacceptable that Prime Healthcare chose to illegally fire 6 pro-union nurses in Chicago instead of working with them to improve the health and safety of patients at St. Mary of Nazareth. I say to Prime Healthcare: End your union busting. Reinstate these nurses.

Chicago nurses at Saint Mary of Nazareth are rallying today. @_PrimeHealth: We won’t be intimidated by your anti-union crackdowns. We’re demanding you reinstate the nurses you illegally fired. We won’t stop fighting to improve working conditions and patient care! ✊

In tiny Albania, over a hundred thousand people have been in the streets against an environmentally disastrous luxury resort planned by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his Qatari billionaire partners. This is what global oligarchy looks like — and the people are saying NO.
