It is imperative that we make sure that new technology like artificial intelligence works for us, and not just a few billionaires who already control everything else about our economy.
While Republicans say they are “deeply concerned” about the national debt, they support:
-$1.8 trillion tax break for handful of multi-billionaires
-$3.5 trillion extension of Trump’s tax breaks
-Massive increase in $858B Pentagon budget
This hypocrisy is truly breathtaking.
Harry Belafonte was not only a great entertainer, but he was a courageous leader in the fight against racism and worker oppression. Jane and I were privileged to consider him a friend and will miss him very much.
I stand in solidarity with the Writers Guild workers on strike for a fair contract.
I want to congratulate the workers at Rutgers University for taking the courageous step to go on strike. You are inspiring the labor movement across this country. I am proud to stand in solidarity with you.
The Republican hypocrisy on the national debt stinks to high heaven. They’re staying up nights “worried” about government spending, but they want to hand a $1.8 trillion tax break to the wealthy? Give me a break.

At a time of massive and growing income and wealth inequality and record-breaking corporate profits, we must stand up for working people who are struggling every day to provide a minimal standard of living for their families and raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour.
Let’s have the guts to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry and make sure all of our people can afford the medicine they need.
Graduate student workers at the University of Michigan are joining together to demand fair wages, better benefits, safe working conditions, and decent work schedules. I’m proud to stand in solidarity with them.
Graduate student workers around the country are standing up and fighting for economic justice.
As everybody knows, we are dealing with a national mental health crisis. What I’ve heard from workers across the country is that coming together and fighting for higher wages and better benefits has helped them combat the isolation that so many of us are feeling.
We need an economy that works for all of us.
Let’s make @helengymphl the next mayor of Philadelphia.
I know Sara Innamorato will wake up everyday fighting to improve the lives of people in Allegheny County.
