Big Oil is making a $30 million windfall profit every HOUR by using the Iran War as an excuse to rip off commuters at the gas pump.

This year, Exxon will be spending $20 billion of its profits on stock buybacks.

We must end the Iran War and pass a windfall profits tax — NOW!

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today.

Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

The world’s leading scientists are warning that AI could “end civilization as we know it.”
 
97% of Americans believe AI safety should be subject to rules.
 
When will our government wake up?! We need global cooperation — before it’s too late.

I enjoyed speaking with hunger and nutrition advocates from Vermont this week. In the richest country in the history of the world, nobody should be going hungry. 

I thank these advocates for their tireless efforts.

Ex-OpenAI board member Helen Toner says AI companies are "deadly serious" about building machines that outperform humans at everything and they don’t know if they’ll be able to control them.
 
So why hasn’t Congress taken meaningful action to regulate AI?
