If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

On Sunday, I visited DEAR NEW YORK, Brandon Stanton's "love letter" to the city he's been documenting for years as "Humans of New York" for their family reception with student artists.

It's a gorgeous exhibit that's transformed Grand Central Station. See it before 10/19!

Today, a Russian strike on one of our energy substations in Slavutych caused a blackout lasting more than three hours at the former Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant facilities. This included the New Safe Confinement, which protects the environment from remnants of reactor 4 after the 1986 explosion, as well as from radioactive debris and dust. It’s also a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, holding 80% of all the spent fuel accumulated during the NPP’s operation – fuel assemblies weighing over 3,250 tons in total.

The Russians could not have been unaware that striking facilities in Slavutych would have such consequences for Chornobyl. And this was a deliberate strike, involving more than 20 drones – preliminary estimates indicate Russian-Iranian “shaheds.” Some of these drones were shot down, but the attack was specifically executed as a wave to complicate the facility’s defense.

Meanwhile, the blackout at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant continues into its eighth day. It began due to Russian shelling in the area of the plant, and the Russians are doing absolutely nothing to rectify the situation or allow Ukrainian specialists to restore external power to the ZNPP, which should normally operate continuously. Russia is intentionally creating a risk of radiological incidents, taking advantage, unfortunately, of the weak stance of the IAEA and Director General Rafael Grossi, as well as the dispersed global attention.

Half-hearted or weak measures will not fix the situation. Every day that Russia prolongs the war, refuses to implement a full and reliable ceasefire, and continues striking all objects of our energy infrastructure – including those critical to the safety of nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities – is a global threat. In addition to the Chornobyl and Zaporizhzhia facilities, Ukraine has five nuclear power plants, and each of them could become a target for Russian drones and missiles.

It is crucial that European countries, the United States, and the G7 and G20 nations take real action for peace and security to the fullest extent possible. Strong response and appropriate pressure on Russia are required to protect human life. I am grateful to everyone in the world who refuses to remain silent.

@BernieSanders Time to shatter this rigged casino: cap CEO pay at 50x the median worker's and tax the excess as the corporate plunder it is, because billion-dollar bonuses built on poverty wages aren't rewards, they're robberies.

This is what I mean when I say the system is BROKEN.

NEW: Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will hand out $67 BILLION to companies next year to "incentivize" research these companies did YEARS ago.

That means next year, the federal government will spend five times more on these handouts than what it spends annually on child care.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

With a neighbor like Russia, only the cooperation of free nations can effectively protect each of them. We value Poland’s support for Ukraine.

Ukraine’s independence strengthens Poland’s independence. And we must always remember that the Miracle on the Vistula was made possible through joint efforts, and it saved Europe.

In the same way, Ukrainians have been defending our state in the full scale war for four years. By repelling the Russian army in Ukraine – near Kyiv, in the Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk regions, as well as in the Black Sea – Ukrainians are truly ensuring the opportunity for all Europeans to live freely, free of Moscow’s madness.

I thank Poland for walking along this path shoulder to shoulder with us. Congratulations on Polish Armed Forces Day and best wishes for our and your independence to always remain strong.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump once called COVID vaccines “one of the greatest miracles in the history of modern-day medicine.”

Now, his health secretary RFK Jr. cancelled $500 million in promising vaccine research.

Trump was right. RFK Jr is wrong. Vaccines save lives.

In October 2024, we learned of a painful and unjust loss: Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna died in Russian captivity. She had already been included in the prisoner exchange list. Russia had pledged to release her but broke its word.

Viktoriia was one of those who spoke the truth about the war. She worked on the frontlines and in temporarily occupied territories, risking her life.

In February of this year, her body — bearing numerous signs of torture — was returned to Ukraine. Since then, all necessary forensic examinations have been carried out. Today, we honor Viktoriia Roshchyna posthumously. She has been awarded the Order of Freedom for her unwavering belief that freedom will overcome everything. Honor and eternal memory to Viktoriia Roshchyna.

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check.

That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.

If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

So let me get this straight…

Trump sues CBS.
CBS settles.
Colbert calls it a bribe.
Colbert gets axed three days later.
And we’re supposed to believe this was just “a business decision”?

This ain’t corporate strategy — it’s censorship with a contract.
When satire threatens power, it stops being funny to them.
What’s next — Comedy Central becomes State TV?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Are you sure canceling Stephen Colbert’s show was “purely a financial decision”?

All of us - not just those on Medicaid or food stamps - will be directly paying for the costs of the billionaire tax breaks in the Trump budget package. Here's how.

Bernie may be the great Senator from Vermont but he’s Brooklyn through and through.

An absolute honor to meet with one of my heroes and the champion for working people across our country, @BernieSanders.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Had a great meeting with @ZohranKMamdani and am deeply impressed by the grassroots campaign he is running.

The Oligarchs are prepared to undermine democracy & spend tens of millions to buy the election for his opponents.

We will not allow that to happen. Stand with Zohran.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

The Republican party of “family values” just made it a whole lot harder for mommas to put food on the table for their babies.

They voted to raise grocery costs for 40 MILLION Americans in their "Big Beautiful Bill."
