The function of AI must not be to make the wealthiest people on Earth — Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Zuckerberg, Gates — even richer.

This revolutionary technology must benefit ALL of humanity, not just the privileged few who own it.

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.

Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.
Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.

So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Sec. Kennedy must appear before the HELP Committee to explain why his vaccine advisory committee, in strong disagreement with the medical & scientific community, voted to end a decades-long recommendation that newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine.

This vaccine saves lives.
Breaking News: A federal vaccine committee voted to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B, a highly infectious virus that leads to chronic liver disease in most infected children.
An End to Hepatitis B Shots for All Newborns
A federal panel voted on Friday to recommend halting the at-birth shots for all infants, in a step toward Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s goal of upending the nation’s vaccine policy.

Everyone knows that our current health care system is broken.

That’s why over 60% of the American people support Medicare for All.

The day will come when every man, woman and child in this country will have health care as a human right.

We’re going to win this fight.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.

It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

The American people know that our current health care system is broken and extremely expensive. They understand that health care is a human right.

A recent poll shows that 6 in 10 back Medicare for All.

Let’s do it.

The poll's results stand in stark contrast to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," which cuts federal health care spending.

At a time when solar and wind are the cheapest forms of new energy in the world, Trump wants to open a BILLION acres of US water to oil drilling.

Why? To line the pockets of his fossil fuel billionaire friends.

The rest of the world moves forward, we get left behind.
Breaking News: President Trump plans to open 1.3 billion acres of U.S. waters to drilling. It is one of Trump’s most significant steps yet to increase the production of fossil fuels, as dozens of countries have been calling for a phaseout of oil, gas and coal.

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not.

The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose?

Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming?

I doubt it.

It is demented and it is manipulative and it is abusive.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.

If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.

Obscene.

Today, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to use all of the funding at its disposal to fully fund SNAP benefits this month.

Not $0, not $12, not half, but 100%.

I say to President Trump: obey this court order NOW. Do not allow 16 million children to go hungry.
