I agree that the reason Republicans lost is the Iran war. I would add the corruption epitomized by the Epstein cover up. Here is what I propose: 1. Support a continuing resolution prohibiting the financing of any combat activities of the U.S. military in Iran. End the Iran war like we did for Vietnam. 2. Support the zeroing out of all aid to Israel in the continuing resolution. 3. Support Massie and my Epstein 2.0 Act to allow state attorney generals to prosecute the pedophiles who abused and trafficked young girls. Will you actually now do any of these three things?

Trump, desperate to stave off a Blue tsunami, now says zero aid to Israel. Establishment Dems, who lost to him twice, told us that was too radical. Thank you for showing the way @BernieSanders @ZohranKMamdani @AbdulElSayed @AngieNixon @MelatKirosCO @AnaliliaForNJ @HamawyForNJ @chrisrabb @fhunscripted @claireforny @DarializaforNY @bradlander

Make him veto Medicare for All Make him veto a $25 living wage Make him veto free childcare Make him veto Block the Bombs to Israel Make him veto zero aid to Israel Make him veto free college Make him veto erasing student loans Make him veto taxes on billionaires

From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in. In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes. In Spain, for affordable rent and housing. In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption. @JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south. He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment. The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few. This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future. In America, let us listen to our young. We need an economic and political transformation. America's Next New Deal.

Navi Pillay, 2026 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, led the UN commission that found Israel committed genocide. "Why would you need courage to speak the truth?" she asks. Yet many Democrats who hope to lead our nation are still afraid to say so. This is a moral test of our time.

250 billionaires in California are worth $2.2 trillion. This is not a hard issue. They will be just as rich if they pay a 5% tax, and poor California kids + 3.5 million working families will get healthcare. Honored to join @BernieSanders to Pass Prop 40.

Ro Khanna: “These billionaires are putting in $200M to try to kill Proposition 40. Some of the SEIU-UHW members I’ve talked to are tired of Democratic politicians like Gavin Newsom taking their marching orders from the donors who would fund a future presidential campaign. We are tired of a governor defying grassroots delegates in the California Democratic Party all because he’s on the side of Trump allies like Peter Thiel and Sergey Brin. You can’t pretend to be anti-Trump if you’re doing the bidding of Trump donors”

San Francisco — thank you for an incredible turnout and event tonight in support of California’s 5% wealth tax. Whether the billionaires like it or not, we will create an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just the people on top.

In November, Californians will be asked a simple question: Can we take on billionaires' greed & power to provide healthcare for working families? Tune in as I join CA workers, @RoKhanna & @JaneKim in San Francisco to support a 5% Billionaire Wealth Tax.

New newsletter: WHY AMERICANS HATE AI AI might be the most instantly unpopular emerging technology in modern history. Off the top of my head, I blame the rise of tech pessimism, the emergence of anti-billionaire politics, the fallout from disappointments of the social media age, the demonization (sometimes fair, sometimes unfair) of data centers, growing distrust of corporations in general, or the fact that people don’t appreciate being told that a new product is going to disemploy their children and destroy the world, while its architects become billionaires. But there’s another reason that these explanations overlook: AI's prophets promised a world of cheap abundance. But the AI buildout has created the exact opposite reality, in which basically everything AI touches is getting more expensive. We're seeing higher prices for everything in the AI buildout—electronics, electricity, construction labor, even credit. The Fed now believes that the growth from AI is pushing up overall inflation, which means AI is also a contributor to higher interest rates. We get so wrapped up in talking about what AI will do in the near future that we sometimes forget to look closely at what it's doing right now: a project broadly predicted to reduce prices and create post-material abundance is instead raising prices and showing everybody just how materially finite some parts of the economy are.

Newsom's allies are saying they oppose the billionaire tax because it will hurt "farmers and ranchers." Talk about gaslighting. Of the 250 California billionaires, how many are framers/ranchers?

The California Wealth Tax is a precursor to the 2028 primary. Newsom is fighting to keep a Dem Party that caters to billionaires, because he needs them to fund his campaign. Ro Khanna has backed the wealth tax because he wants a Dem Party that is free to tackle the oligarchy. That led the billionaires to fund a primary challenge against him (which he beat).

Six hours have passed and Issa Amro has not been brought to a police station or given his right to call his lawyer. This is a matter for grave concern, knowing today's practices against Pal activists. We demand to know where Issa is and what are the grounds for his detention!

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Our immigration enforcement system is simply broken. The deportation of children and innocent families is inhumane and unacceptable. No small child should face a judge without an attorney. 
It’s time to abolish ICE.

.@JamieMetzl is comparing American students to mullahs in Iran. And he thinks @AbdulElSayed & I are out of touch. As Lyndon Johnson would say, Jamie run for dog catcher first before offering smug punditry about politics. Or join for our college tour.
