THE BILLIONAIRES MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES While the very rich are getting richer, working families are struggling to afford health care, housing, groceries and other basic necessities. In the midst of unprecedented income and wealth inequality, the billionaire class must start paying their fair share of taxes. My 5% wealth tax, which would apply to fewer than 1,000 billionaires, would raise over $4.4 trillion in new revenue which would allow us to: ✅Provide $12,000 to a working family of four ✅Enact universal childcare ✅Expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing ✅End homelessness ✅Require a $60,000 minimum salary for teachers The time is long overdue for the U.S. government to begin representing the needs of working families, not billionaire campaign contributors. Let us s…

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain is right. The Michigan Senate race isn't just about Abdul El-Sayed vs. Haley Stevens. It's about whether we continue to have a government of, by and for the billionaire class — or whether working people finally take back power.

Healthcare spending per person 1973: $441 2026: $15,474 Home Price 1973: $35,500 2026: $475,400 Rent 1973: $133 2026: $2,017 Public College Tuition/Fees 1973: $514 2026: $11,950 Has your income kept up with these rising prices? Probably not. That's why so many are struggling.

Why is the establishment so nervous about @AbdulElSayed? If he wins the MI Senate primary, the entire country will see that we CAN defeat $60 million in billionaire-backed super PAC spending and work towards a government that represents all people, not just the few.

The crypto industry has spent $189 million in campaign contributions so far this election cycle. Now they are pushing Congress to do their bidding by passing the corrupt CLARITY Act. I’m talking to Ben McKenzie about what we can do to stop them. x.com/i/broadcasts/1qKDzzgAp…

WHY ARE THE BILLIONAIRES SO PANICKED BY ABDUL EL-SAYED? The Democratic Senate primary in Michigan is much more than a campaign between Congresswoman Haley Stevens and Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. It is part of the ongoing struggle between Oligarchy and grassroots progressive politics. It is about whether we can create a government that represents ALL Americans, or one that continues to be controlled by wealthy campaign contributors. As of today, billionaire-funded outside groups, led by AIPAC, have spent a record-breaking $50 million to support Haley Stevens — a roughly 60-to-1 advantage over Abdul El-Sayed. Let me repeat. A 60-to-1 advantage. Despite that, recent polling indicates that the race is extremely close — with some polls showing Abdul in the lead. Why are the billionaires so panicked…

Last year Trump pocketed $1.4 billion from crypto deals. Now Congress wants to pass the CLARITY Act — a bill that could let his corruption continue. Tune in tonight at 7PM ET as I talk to @ben_mckenzie about crypto fraud & scams and what Congress can do.

Trump says “we have an amazing economy.” Really? 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck. 85 million are uninsured or underinsured. More than 750,000 are homeless. The price of groceries is through the roof. If this is “amazing,” God help us.

Donavan McKinney will make a great member of Congress. Thanks to these members for endorsing him. Despite all the money being spent against him, he’s going to win.

In the richest country on Earth, we should have a great standard of living for ALL our people, not massive income and wealth inequality. The American people are tired of status quo politics. They want change, real change.

Americans are tired of establishment politics, establishment economics and a corrupt campaign finance system. They understand it is absurd for one man to own more wealth than the bottom half of society. They understand healthcare is a human right. Americans want real change.

They have the money. We have the people. Watch a great ad from Abdul’s campaign In Michigan.

Are we really living in a “democracy” when billionaire-funded super PACs can spend tens of millions trying to defeat great progressive Senate candidates like Abdul El-Sayed (MI) and Peggy Flanagan (MN)? We need to end Citizens United and move to public funding of elections NOW!

Trump-backed billionaire David Ellison recently purchased CBS. Now he wants to take over CNN and the rest of Warner Bros. A coalition of state attorneys general sued to stop it. Now the deal is on hold. Good. We must stop corporate media consolidation.

Democratic establishment politics in action. Outside groups, led by AIPAC, have spent $52.3 million in Michigan’s Senate primary to support Haley Stevens, compared to $853,000 in outside spending for Abdul El-Sayed — a 60-1 margin. And the establishment is still going to lose.

12 billionaires are spending over $120 million against California's 5% billionaire wealth tax. These guys are worth $420 billion, got $182 billion richer since Trump's election & own at least 25 mansions in CA worth $550 million. We must end billionaire greed.

A new AI model went rogue and hacked other computers. No, this is not science fiction. Uncontrolled AI poses a serious threat to all of us. We cannot continue the race to build and deploy this powerful technology until strong safeguards are in place. CONGRESS MUST ACT.

A. Phillip Randolph is right: “The essence of trade unionism is social uplift. The labor movement has been the haven for the dispossessed, the despised, the neglected, the downtrodden, the poor.” Let's grow the trade union movement.

AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super PACs have already spent nearly $50 million to defeat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate primary. We cannot allow oligarchs to buy our elections. One person, one vote.
