In my fifty years in politics, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this before.

I haven't always agreed with Jerome Powell, but what Donald Trump is doing is out of the dictator’s playbook.

Kudos to Powell for speaking out.

New year, same reminder: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

No one can be truly free in a society considered by many to be unjust. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Our job — the responsibility of all who seek a just society and a decent world — is to move as far as possible away from hateful violence, toward social justice.

Interesting study: Students using GPT-4 for math homework got way better scores, but performed worse than kids who never used it when the AI was taken away.
