Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia. Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

We are spending $1 trillion every year on the military. That's more than the next NINE nations combined. Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country. Congress needs to get its priorities straight.

Hello, @elonmusk! Just a couple of questions for you:

@zdenDuran14 @davidpattersonx There will be universal high income (not merely basic income). Everyone will have the best medical care, food, home, transport and everything else. Sustainable abundance.

Yes, Elon. I do lack "any sense of adventure" when that "adventure" will, as you have made clear, force tens of millions of workers out of their jobs. The goal of AI and robotics must be to improve life for all people, not just to make you and your fellow oligarchs even richer.

The takers like Bernie will eventually follow the makers, but they’re cowards too and lack any sense of adventure, so they will wait until it is safe

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Rather than respecting the right of its doctors to advocate for better working conditions and care for patients, University Hospitals in Ohio chose to fire pediatricians Drs. Beene and Fouts-Fowler for speaking up. University Hospitals must immediately reinstate these doctors.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Two days after the House of Representatives voted to restore collective bargaining rights to federal employees, Trump moves to illegally end collective bargaining for TSA workers. Trump may be the most anti-union president in American history.

Congratulations to the people of Chandler, AZ, who — despite a fierce lobbying campaign — defeated a massive AI data center that would have raised utility bills and drained scarce water. Oligarchs want working Americans to foot the bill while they profit. Not gonna happen!

Congratulations to every House Democrat & 20 Republicans for voting to restore the constitutional right to a union for over 1M federal employees. The Senate must pass this bipartisan provision immediately. All workers, including federal employees, have the right to be in a union.

The U.S. House approved a measure overturning President Trump’s executive order eliminating union rights at federal agencies, but it is unlikely to pass the Senate because Republicans largely oppose it. wapo.st/3KMiswy

Israel has killed 249 journalists in the last 2 years. That's more than were killed in WWII & the Vietnam War put together. A Vermonter, Dylan Collins, was wounded in one of these attacks, which killed another reporter. This war against journalists must be investigated & ended.

We spend twice as much per capita on health care as almost any nation on Earth. We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. Republicans — pathetically — have nothing serious to say about the health care crisis.

Republicans voted for a trillion dollars in tax breaks for the 1%, but they couldn't vote to protect 20 million Americans from seeing a doubling — on average — of their health care premiums. Pathetic.

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Pleased to see Dylan Collins and his family today. Dylan is a Vermonter & an American hero — a journalist wounded in an Israeli attack while reporting in Lebanon. For more than two years he’s been demanding an investigation of that criminal act. We stand with him.

Make America Healthy Again. Really? Double ACA premiums. Kick 15 million off health care. Undermine lifesaving vaccines and spark disease outbreaks. The Trump administration is endangering the health of the American people.

Trump says it's an A++++ economy. He's right. His billionaire friends have never had it better. If you're a working class person: 👉60% live paycheck to paycheck 👉Grocery prices at record highs 👉Premiums to double for 20+ million The economy must work for all, not just the 1%

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. They deserve respect. Unfortunately, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Texas has hired union busters to stop nurses from unionizing. Unacceptable. I stand with these brave nurses in the struggle for justice & against corporate greed.

AI is going to transform the world. We can’t let a handful of billionaires decide the future for us. I'm LIVE on the Senate floor to discuss the enormous potential and profound dangers of AI.

Yes. We have to worry about AI and robotics. Some questions:
