There has been a massive redistribution of wealth in America. But it has gone in exactly the wrong direction.

Since 1975, over $50 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% as corporations spend their profits on stock buybacks and dividends.

On this Memorial Day, and every day, we must come together to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives to defend our nation and stand with the loved ones who live with that unimaginable loss.

We must work together to end the scourge of war and create a world of peace.

We must work in coalition with all those who understand that we must do everything possible to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme rightwing Republican party, not just because he is “worse”, but because nothing less than the future of our democracy is at stake in this election.

If we turn our backs and ignore the crimes against humanity that are being committed in Gaza right now, what credibility will we ever have in criticizing the actions of any country, no matter how terrible those actions may be?

Having bad teeth is a badge of poverty. It becomes a personal issue, a psychological issue, and an economic issue.

Dental care is health care. We must address this crisis.

Israeli Defense Minister Gallant said: “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip...No electricity, no food, no fuel. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

That is what they have done.

The world community cannot allow this barbarism.

As negotiators finalize the Pandemic Accord, the U.S. must work together with developing countries to make sure everyone can get access to the tests, treatments and vaccines they need. Now is the time to negotiate strong global standards that put public health over profits.

US taxpayers are set to give away $170 billion to the oil, gas & coal industries by 2034.

Meanwhile, the 6 largest private fossil fuel corporations have made $2.4 trillion in profits since 1990.

They don't need government handouts. We must end tax breaks for fossil fuels.

The Ticketmaster oligarchs are more concerned with increasing their profits and wealth than with artists and their fans.

We must prevent their greed from destroying Americans' access to art.

The best way to do that is to break up their monopoly.

The ICC prosecutor has looked at the actions of each leader in the Gaza war and compared those actions to established standards of international law. The ICC is holding both sides to the same standard.

Yes, democratically elected officials can commit war crimes.

Never before in human history have so few owned so much. Every year, this rapid march toward global oligarchy becomes more pronounced and more obscene.

It is time for Congress and the corporate media to pay attention. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

For nearly 3 decades, the NIH has given away taxpayer-funded prescription drugs invented by federal scientists to Big Pharma — with virtually no strings attached.

Let me thank NIH Director Dr. Bertagnolli for releasing a plan that will begin to change this ABSURD policy.

Someone recently told me that she has had caps on her teeth after breaking them as a child. For 15 years, she hasn’t been able to afford permanent replacements. Her caps flake off into her food every time she eats.

LIVE: Even democratically-elected officials can commit war crimes. We cannot apply international law only when it’s convenient. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

President Biden is pursuing every possible avenue to deliver student debt relief.

We must act boldly so that the millions of Americans who are struggling to pay for basic necessities are not crushed by mountains of debt for getting a college education.

The ICC prosecutor is right to issue arrest warrants for political leaders who engage in war crimes.

The global community must uphold international law.

Without these standards of decency & morality, the planet may rapidly descend into anarchy, never-ending wars, and barbarism.

I know it sounds radical; I know it sounds utopian. But it exists in many other countries around the world.

We can and we must create a system in which people can go to any doctor they want, any hospital they want, and not have to take out their wallet.

The American health care system is broken. We spend 2x more per capita than most other countries, for worse outcomes. A rational health care system provides health care as a human right, not huge profits for insurance companies & pharmaceutical industry.
