It’s not complicated. Trump doesn’t believe in democracy. He hates democratic Europe and loves the oligarchic dictatorships in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. He wants to stifle dissent in the media and arrest his opponents. ALL Americans must unify against authoritarianism.

If a U.S. Congressman can be forcibly detained by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, what do you think is happening to the Palestinians who live there? Sadly, we know the answer. Despite massive campaign spending by AIPAC, members of Congress must be very clear. NO MORE U.S.

What Mayor Mamdani is doing in New York City is exactly right. Americans are sick and tired of getting ripped off by being trapped into paying recurring charges. Congress must follow New York’s lead.

The United States has the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country. How do Trump and Republicans respond? By wiping out food assistance for millions of hungry kids and families in America. Cruelty should not be an American policy.

This is the year 2026. One might have hoped that, after thousands of years of war, humanity could have come up with a better way to resolve conflicts than killing and mass destruction. Unfortunately, that is not the case. There is now more war and bloodshed raging across the

Last year in the richest nation on Earth, nearly half of adults under 30 lived with a parent. In America, owning a home shouldn't be a pipe dream. Maybe, just maybe, instead of spending trillions on tax breaks for the rich and more wars, we should invest in affordable housing.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya ran one of Gaza's last hospitals. He refused to leave his patients even after Israel killed his own son in a drone strike. Israel kidnapped him for it. 18 months in detention, tortured and beaten, for the crime of running a hospital. He must be released.

In a new WSJ poll, 75% of Americans believe billionaires have too much power in Washington and working people have too little. THEY ARE RIGHT. While working families struggle, never before have so few people held so much economic and political power. We’re taking them on!

For the past 10 months, resident & fellow physicians with the University of California Hospital system have been fighting for a union contract to protect patients & guarantee fair pay. This hospital system made $2.2 billion in profits last year. UC must sign a fair deal — NOW.

When I first proposed a national moratorium on AI data centers it was called a radical idea. Not anymore. Let me thank the people of Prince William County, VA for standing up to the greed of Blackstone and stopping the construction of the largest data center campus in the world.

Plans for the largest data center in the world have been abandoned. Blackstone-owned QTS has decided not to appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, giving up on the world’s largest data center campus. Fierce opposition and organizing from residents of Price William County

Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of Palantir, called Pope Leo “a Chinese communist agent” for writing that AI must be used to “truly benefit the common good, and is not just used to accumulate wealth and power in the hands of a few.” Who do you trust? Pope Leo or Mr. Thiel?

Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million. This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs. Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.

Vermonters love July 4th events. Yesterday, I was in Warren (with a huge crowd despite the rain); Rochester for the annual picnic; and Bristol for food and music. In the evening I joined the Vermont Symphony Orchestra for a concert in Shelburne. Thanks to everybody who
