AI is built on humanity’s collective knowledge.
The wealth it generates must benefit humanity — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other AI oligarchs.
That’s why I’ll be introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act — to give the public a direct ownership stake.
If you give a politician $5 to influence a vote, it’s bribery.
If billionaires spend $50 million to influence an election, it’s legal.
That is what a corrupt campaign finance system looks like.
COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.
There is no close second in our history.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO
72,000 killed in the genocide in Gaza.
1 million+ displaced in Lebanon.
1,700 settler attacks in the West Bank.
And now war in Iran.
Sending 20,000+ more bombs to Netanyahu isn’t just immoral��it’s illegal.
That’s why I introduced legislation to stop it.
Netanyahu led Trump into this horrific & unpopular war. Now he doesn’t know how to get out.
Cost so far:
• 1,200+ Iranian civilians killed
• 13 U.S. troops killed
• 3.2M Iranians displaced
• 773 killed in Lebanon
• 10,000+ Iranians injured
• $16.5B spent in 12 days
Netanyahu is the extremist who killed 75,000 in Gaza.
The extremist who said invading Iraq would create "enormous positive reverberations."
The extremist who has pushed U.S. presidents to go to war with Iran for decades.
Finally, he found a President who said yes.
Tragic.
Netanyahu wanted billions to flatten Gaza. He got it.
Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump just gave it to him.
American foreign and military policy must be determined by the American people.
Not the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.
The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Trump said we had to attack Iran because we can‘t allow it “to have a nuclear weapon.” Really?
This is the same president who, in June, said: “Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated.”
Vietnam. Iraq. Iran. Another lie. Another war.
