Children are starving. Gaza has been demolished. And Benjamin Netanyahu is the architect of this disastrous policy.

The United States’ new position must be simple and straight-forward: Not another nickel for the extremist Netanyahu government.

Americans are fed up with Netanyahu’s war against Hamas that is killing tens of thousands of Palestinian people.

They do not want to see their taxpayer dollars spent to support the slaughter of innocent civilians and the starvation of children.

How insane is this? We tell young people to get the best education they can, and then saddle them for decades with crushing loan debt.

Cancel student debt. Make public colleges and universities tuition-free.

We have a rigged tax code that has essentially legalized tax dodging for large corporations.

Enough is enough.

American workers should not be paying more in federal income taxes than profitable companies like Target, Amazon, and T-Mobile.

Despite the incredible political power of the pharmaceutical industry, alongside the Biden Administration, we have capped insulin and inhaler costs, and lowered the price of prescription drugs.

But let me be clear: More must be done. The fight is not over yet.

10 straight months of record-breaking global heat. NEWSFLASH: Climate change is real.

We need nothing less than radical action on climate, and we need it now.

The United States must focus on saving innocent Palestinian people and advancing steps that can secure a lasting peace, not sending Netanyahu’s extreme, right-wing government more money or weapons.

We cannot be complicit in the use of starvation as a weapon of war.

Despite all the wealth and political power of the pharmaceutical industry, we are beginning to make some progress on lowering the cost of prescription drugs in this country.

And we’re not stopping here.

At a time when young people across the country are struggling economically, President Biden’s decision to reduce the outrageous level of student debt they face will be extremely helpful. Millions will now be in a better position to start families & buy homes. This is a big deal.

We’ve secured some important victories in health care recently. But much more needs to be done.

Next, we continue to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and lower the cost of prescription drugs and health care in America. We cannot let up.

Israel has stated that it will allow increased humanitarian aid into Gaza. The U.S. must ensure that these promises are implemented immediately. We cannot be complicit in the starvation of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children.

NEW: Sen. Bernie Sanders on Biden’s Gaza policy: “You cannot continue to talk about your worries about [a] humanitarian situation in Gaza and then give Netanyahu another $10 billion, or more bombs. You cannot do that. That is hypocritical.”

Full interview on tomorrow’s pod.

Too many workers are working longer hours for lower wages.

Too many workers are forced to miss their kid's birthday parties and Little League Games.

Too many workers, even after all of that, struggle to afford rent and food.

So, no. A 32-hour workweek is NOT a radical idea.

“It’s time to rethink the whole 40-hour workweek,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says.

In a recent op-ed, Bernie Sanders and @UAWUnion President Shawn Fain have called for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay. wapo.st/3TJqiaz

Earlier today, I went to the White House because President Biden and I had some good news to share on the fight to lower prescription drug costs in this country. But let me be clear: The fight does not stop here.

If you missed it, tune in now. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Jake Sullivan reportedly told Israeli officials that they could be “responsible for the third famine crisis of the 21st century” if they don’t allow more aid into Gaza.

He’s right. The U.S. cannot partner with a country that is starving children. No more money for Netanyahu.

Workers are more than 400% more productive than they were in the '40s.

And yet, almost all of the economic gains from technological achievements go straight to the top.

Working people must benefit from increased productivity, not just billionaires.

LIVE: The President and I agree: The American people pay far too much for their health care and prescription drugs.

It is time that changed.

Let’s get it done.

The American people, no matter what their political view may be, are sick and tired of being ripped off by drug companies and paying the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
