The worst form of addiction that this country now faces is the greed of the oligarchy.

After months of negotiations with their graduate workers, over 1,500 workers went on strike over the University of Rochester's refusal to schedule a union election. I proudly stand with them and urge the university to stop the delays and schedule this election NOW.

We can no longer ignore the reality that in the richest country on Earth, too many people are living paycheck to paycheck – struggling to pay the rent, buy prescription drugs, put food on the table or afford child care. We can do better. We must do better.

Our health care system is broken. We need to end the disgrace of being the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right. We must pass Medicare for All — legislation that I will be introducing next week.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration. This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power. It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Congratulations to Bill Owens and Scott Pelley of CBS for standing up for the Constitution and the First Amendment. Trump, and his lawsuits against CBS and other media, must be strongly resisted. Paramount (which owns CBS) must not give in to Trump’s authoritarianism.

I ran into a group of nurses in Washington and let them know that tomorrow I will be introducing a bill to give health care to every American. Here's what they had to say:

LIVE: We cannot simply defend the status quo. Now is the time to rethink health care in America. Today, I will reintroduce Medicare for All. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive. The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right. The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Illegal arrests made by the Trump administration are intended to spread fear and silence dissent. We cannot allow Trump and his cronies to turn the United States of America into an authoritarian society in which people can be disappeared for their political beliefs.

Mohsen Mahdawi was released on bail today from his illegal detention at the hands of the Trump administration. Good. In America, you are not supposed to end up in a jail cell for expressing your opinion. This is a major step forward in the fight against authoritarianism.

I am delighted that Mohsen Mahdawi has been released from detention. Expressing a political opinion about the war in Gaza is not a crime. In the United States of America, you should not be put in a jail cell for exercising your First Amendment rights.

Billionaires like Trump and Musk don’t have a clue what it means for working families when it becomes too expensive to buy your kid a birthday present.

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions. There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions. Union membership means higher wages and better benefits. Let’s grow the trade union movement.

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty. It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon. That is morally

Trump may not know whether he has to uphold the Constitution during his presidency, but hundreds of Vermont lawyers do know.  I congratulate them, and thousands of lawyers throughout the country, who are fighting to uphold American democracy and the rule of law.

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza and put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.
