If you work over 40 hours, you should be getting paid double for overtime.

That’s why @RepCasar and I will be introducing a bill to ensure that workers stop getting overworked and underpaid.

NEW - Progressive and centrist Democrats are remarkably aligned around their plan for using a potential House majority to investigate President Donald Trump: Pursue businesses that have cultivated his administration for backdoor oversight, and don’t hold back.

Within a corrupt political system, here is an inspiring story which speaks to the beauty and strength of democracy and what we can accomplish when we work together. 

In April 2025, as part of our Fighting Oligarchy tour, I held a rally in Missoula, Montana. As we almost always do at our rallies, we invited local union leaders to address the crowd and say a few words about issues impacting their communities.  One of those local union leaders was a National Forest firefighter named Sam Forstag, who discussed how Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE had just fired thousands of federal employees — including many in Montana.  

As a result of that rally and the 9,000 people there who responded very positively to his remarks, Sam, who had never run for public office before, decided to take on the Establishment and run for the U.S. Congress as a proud member of the American working class.  

Guess what? On Tuesday, June 2, after putting together a strong grassroots coalition, Sam Forstag won the Democratic Party’s primary in the First District of Montana. And, with our help, he’ll soon become Congressman Sam Forstag.

I brought AOC tortillas from H-E-B.

They make people feel better after a tough night, and that's what the Spurs are going to give Knicks fans tonight.

Go Spurs go!

Congress could give Trump's personal henchman power to spy on you without a warrant. We have to stop it.

Progressive sphere of influence in the House is expanding with successive victories

Analilia Mejia, Dan Biss, Chris Rabb followed by Adam Hamawy last night are some of the latest wins

Junaid Ahmed (IL-08) is the notable loss

☀️AM: AI HAS A DEMOCRAT PROBLEM

https://t.co/Z7wri2AZUx

Top executives from AI giants are making regular visits to Capitol Hill. OpenAI CEO @sama will be here today. The tech titans are hiring lobbyists and well-known consultants from both parties. And they’re shelling out tens of millions of dollars to shape public opinion on how their platforms are safe and beneficial to society.

Yet their message seems to have landed on deaf ears with an important constituency: top Democrats.

If Democrats take control of Congress in 2027, the nation’s leading AI companies are in for a reckoning. Consider the positions that key progressives have recently staked out.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Monday that he’s going to introduce a bill to give taxpayers a 50% stake in the nation’s largest AI companies. The progressive firebrand is also pushing for a federal moratorium on data centers.

Last week, Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, joined the chorus of Democrats pushing for an AI tax, writing in an op-ed that America needs to raise revenue from tech companies to “slow down job loss.”

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) declared it was “disgusting” that Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer approved the expansion of data centers in Michigan.

Carl Heastie, the New York state House speaker, said Tuesday that the Empire State legislature would enact a one-year moratorium on data center construction. New York is the latest state to look at putting the brakes on AI facilities.

Make no mistake about it — these progressive stands will become benchmarks for the rest of the Democrats, both in the midterms and the 2028 presidential race.

Congrats #MT01 Dem nominee @SamForstag! Sam is a working-class candidate whose campaign focused on reaching people who felt left behind by both parties. We will support Sam through November & work to flip this red seat blue to send a champion for everyday Montanans to Congress.

Well worth a read - the NYT publisher on AI:
https://t.co/Bol06SvBhn

"Our profession has been too quiet, too passive and too fragmented in the face of abuses by the companies leading the AI revolution. We cannot watch as AI companies attempt to permanently dismantle the rights that give us control over the work we create. We cannot sit by as this work is used to build replacement products that undermine our ability to earn the audience and revenue necessary to continue reporting the news."
