Trump’s Department of Justice is investigating 5 major TV networks for “antitrust violations” after they stood up for press freedom. ABC CBS CNN NBC Fox News No, Mr. Trump, we are not a dictatorship. In America, media is allowed to criticize you. It’s called the 1st Amendment.
Trump and his family have made over $2 billion off the presidency, including millions in stocks that directly benefit from AI data center development and chip manufacturing. Now Trump is calling AI's threats a "hoax" and is refusing to rein in Big Tech. I wonder why.
Trump just sanctioned the International Criminal Court, which prosecutes war crimes. Why? Because the ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and a Hamas commander over war crimes in Gaza, just as it did for Putin over Ukraine. No, Mr. President: War criminals are NOT above the law.
Big Tech oligarchs are secretly preparing for a “catastrophic AI event” that could threaten our banking, healthcare, internet, electricity and water systems. They’re racing to build a technology they can’t control and that threatens humanity. CONGRESS MUST PAUSE ADVANCED AI DEVELOPMENT NOW.
The level of income and wealth inequality in the U.S. is beyond insane. The top 0.00001% (just 20 households) now owns over $4 trillion — more than 12 times the wealth of the bottom 50% COMBINED. We must defeat oligarchy. Billionaire wealth tax NOW.
As of today, one man, billionaire Trump ally David Ellison, controls: CBS CNN HBO Discovery Channel BET Fandango MTV Nickelodeon Paramount+ PlutoTV Showtime TBS The CW TNT Warner Bros. & more Call it what it is: oligarchy.
Why is life expectancy in McDowell County, WV, just 65 years — 14 years below the national average? The answer: poverty and economic stress. In the richest country on earth, no community — rural or urban — should have to live under these conditions. We can and must do better. https://t.co/4f5T0mc0kB
My Statement on the Third Anniversary of October 7th Three years ago today, Hamas murdered some 1,200 people in Israel, the vast majority of them civilians, committed horrific atrocities, and dragged 251 hostages into captivity. The attack against Israelis on October 7th was a horrific act of terrorism. Hamas murdered Israelis in cold blood at a music festival and in their kibbutzim. The deliberate killing of innocent people is never resistance. It is a crime against humanity. It is a war crime. Like any country facing a terrorist attack, Israel had the right to defend itself and go after Hamas. Tragically, the Netanyahu government in Israel did not wage a war against Hamas alone. It waged a genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. More than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women, children and the elderly, and more than 175,000 have been wounded. Gaza's homes, hospitals, schools and water systems have been reduced to rubble. Instead of continuing to provide military aid to the extremist government of Israel, the United States should be doing everything possible to provide and support humanitarian aid to the desperate people in Gaza and bring peace and justice to the region. The way to honor every person lost over these three years is to end the bloodshed: No more American weapons for the extremist Israeli government, a real and enforced ceasefire, full access to humanitarian aid, reconstruction by and for Palestinians, and a genuine path to a Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel. On this solemn day, we must come together to demand a lasting peace.
According to a new Quinnipiac poll: • 91% of Americans think it's important to put guardrails on AI • 73% worry AI could threaten humanity • 72% oppose new data centers in their community. So what have Republicans in Congress done to regulate AI over the past two years? NOTHING.
Why is the price of gas $4.38 a gallon? Why is the price of heating oil $5.87 a gallon? Why is the price of diesel $6.20 a gallon? The answer is obvious: Trump's illegal war in Iran. Who benefits? Big Oil, which made $125 billion in profits this year. End this war — NOW.
