The world’s military spending last year reached $2.4 trillion, a 35-year high.

The United States spent more than one-third of the total.

Let that sink in.

Not only is that not making the world more safe, it isn't making America more safe either.

A great story in the @NYTimes spotlighting inspiring community-violence intervention work in Baton Rouge.

These programs have shown promising results, and federal funding is offering a chance to better study their impact in reducing gun violence.

Thank you Bernie Sanders! We need to end all military support for the horrific war in Gaza, restore vital humanitarian funding to UNRWA, and secure a #CeasefireNOW !

I look forward to offering amendments tomorrow to cut billions in offensive military funding to Israel from the proposed national security supplemental package and protect essential humanitarian operations. We cannot continue to fund this horrific war.

Thank you to the members of Congress below who voted to reject unconditional military aid to Israel in the face of staggering civilian harm & starvation in Gaza.

We reiterate our call to stop US arms transfers, comply with US & int'l law, and use US leverage for a #CeasefireNOW .

Coral reefs around the world are bleaching because of #climate change. This doesn't only affect the coral, but also the entire ecosystem that relies on it. Truly devastating - we must act now. #EarthDay

On #EarthDay , we must stand for our planet.

A planet threatened by climate change, by pollution, by biodiversity loss.

A planet that needs to be rescued.

So we must unite.

And we must mobilize all our efforts for #ClimateAction .

This #EarthDay , let’s honor the planet we all live on, and do whatever we can to make a difference for generations to come.
