Randy Villegas grew up in a working-class family. He's an educator, a small business owner, and he'll fight in Congress for working-class Americans — not for the billionaires. Join us LIVE in Bakersfield for a Fighting Oligarchy rally with @Villegas_CA22 x.com/i/broadcasts/1yGBePLAd…

California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax is THE most important ballot initiative in the country. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, the billionaire class must start paying their fair share of taxes.

The MOST important aspect of this election is whether we continue to have a Republican-controlled Congress acting as a rubber stamp for Trump, his fellow oligarchs and his horrific policies or whether we finally hold them accountable. Republicans must no longer control Congress.

San Francisco — thank you for an incredible turnout and event tonight in support of California’s 5% wealth tax. Whether the billionaires like it or not, we will create an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just the people on top.

In November, Californians will be asked a simple question: Can we take on billionaires' greed & power to provide healthcare for working families? Tune in as I join CA workers, @RoKhanna & @JaneKim in San Francisco to support a 5% Billionaire Wealth Tax. x.com/i/broadcasts/1AGRnZqRp…

Tonight I'm speaking in San Francisco in support of Proposition 40, the California billionaire tax. When 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck while Musk owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of households, the billionaire class must start paying their fair share of taxes.

Are you ready for a radical idea? Billionaires should not buy our elections. One person, one vote.

We cannot allow America to become a surveillance state where AI oligarchs profit by giving the government the power to track our every movement. That is why @AOC, @JeffMerkley and I are introducing the BAN FLOCK Act to block federal funding for automatic license plate readers.

Let’s try again, Mr. President. 15 million people thrown off their healthcare: F $1 trillion on a new endless war in Iran: F Record-high diesel, gas and grocery prices: F Declining respect for U.S. in the world: F Narcissism and self-delusion: A+

Trade unions leading a grassroots movement for a 5% billionaire wealth tax in CA are being outspent 99.9% to 0.1% in TV ads by billionaires who oppose it. Despite that, it’s winning 48-38% in a recent poll. Billionaires have the money, we have the people. Let’s win this fight.

AI is planning to spend upwards of $300 million this election cycle. The result: Congress does not regulate AI. AI regulates Congress. WE MUST BAN SUPER PACS.

No, Mr. Johnson. The 75% of Americans who oppose data centers, including a majority of Republicans, have not fallen victim to a "Chinese psyop." They are rightly concerned about AI billionaires raising their electricity bills, destroying the environment and threatening humanity

Trump says we need to spend $1.5 trillion on the Pentagon because we need to "beat" China. Trump says we can't have any guardrails on AI because we need to "beat" China. If China is our so-called enemy, then why is Trump offering to sell them American weapons?

The Detroit Free Press endorsed @WeWill2026 for Michigan's 7th Congressional District. They wrote: "Will Lawrence is a true believer in his causes who is riding citizen anger about a range of policies and practices harmful to ordinary Americans." I agree. Let's support Will.

Will we continue to have a U.S. Senate pushing the agenda of Trump and the billionaires? Or will we elect grassroots leaders like Minnesota’s Peggy Flanagan, take back the Senate from Republicans, and fight for working families? The choice is clear. Let’s do it.

At a time when the billionaire class wields enormous power over our economy and political system, join me in California to demand that billionaires finally pay their fair share and help elect strong progressives to Congress.
