Health care is a human right. Period.
In Minnesota this weekend, I stood with Peggy Flanagan and said it plainly: We desperately need to build a completely different system and stop tinkering around the edges of a sick care system.
That’s Medicare for All. Peggy knows that and will fight for it in the Senate.

Musk's super PACs have now spent over $400 million to buy the midterm elections.
This campaign is not just about Democrats vs. Republicans.
It’s about whether the world’s first trillionaire can buy our government.
Say NO to Musk. Say NO to oligarchy. Say yes to democracy.

Shawn Fain is right. It is an outrage that GM is spending $20 billion on stock buybacks to enrich its wealthy shareholders, while 80% of its autoworkers no longer have a pension or retiree health benefits.
That $20 billion should be going to workers, not Wall Street executives.

Bloody hell. The power Israel has throughout the world. We wonder why no one stands up to them. Worth a watch.

Mad scientist who has spent 25 years helping her donors corporatize the Democratic Party, thereby delivering elections to Trump and destroying the world: “We are conducting a national experiment.”

The guy who bailed out his Wall Street donors as they threw 10 million families out of their homes is now chiding “the left” for making materialist arguments about improving people’s economic situation rather than telling morality stories. Truly unreal.

Really shocking how confused, vague, simplistic and at times unhinged Huang is in this podcast. My god this does not bode well.
Tomorrow on the show: @JensenHuang, the CEO of NVIDIA, who thinks A.I. fear is getting way out of hand.

The Human Personification Of Political Corruption says he wants to stop the culture of corruption that he created, assuming literally not one single person in media will ask him about how he helped create that culture of corruption.
Washington needs a good power washing top to bottom. Five things I would do today to end corruption in Washington across all three branches of government:
1. Ban all stock trading.
2. Ban all participation in prediction markets.
3. Mandatory retirement at 75 years old.
4. Mandatory blind trust for individuals with a net worth more than $1 million.
5. Ban all foreign gifts to public officials, including foreign investments in their businesses or other entities.

Tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they cannot afford to go to the doctor. Unacceptable.
I asked Trump's FDA nominee Heidi Overton if she believes healthcare is a human right.
Her answer was not surprising.

Some very useful information/research here exposing the internal Democratic Party battle between corporatists and populists. This battle is going to become the main event in the 2028 presidential primary. Follow this account and check out their website. Super useful.
NEW: In 2024, Wes Moore went on a limb siding with Reid Hoffman and other big donors who wanted Lina Khan out at the FTC.
Hoffman has backtracked, but Moore still won’t answer questions about Lina Khan - and he’s been asked, repeatedly.

Abdul El-Sayed: “We don’t live in capitalism. We live in corporate socialism. If you’re a corporation, you can buy a politician to get that politician to rig the system for you so you make more money and you ex out every other market in which you compete."

The leading experts are clear: AI is rapidly escaping our control.
Congress must act NOW.
Today I’m introducing legislation to permanently ban artificial superintelligence and pause advanced AI until clear safety rules are in place.

It's great to see economist @JustinWolfers making the case that AI has given new urgency to the case for universal basic income, calling it "a payment society is owed rather than a form of redistribution."
He says the tech companies created a few lines of code while it was the rest of society that created all the world’s knowledge those AI models were trained on, and that we never charged them for it.
Everyone who agrees with this should sign the aipledgeforhumanity.org. We should ALL benefit.

Back in 2003, a German film crew filming in the Gobi Desert captured an incredibly moving moment: after a tough two-day birth, a mother camel rejected her newborn. A nomadic family then performed the ancient Hoos singing ritual passed down for generations. Once the song ended, the camel shed tears and finally accepted her baby. This powerful scene became one of the most memorable parts of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Story of the Weeping Camel.

Not only did Netanyahu commit genocide in Gaza. Now he's threatening Israeli filmmakers who exposed it with criminal charges and attempting to strip citizenship from anyone who "defames" soldiers.

For the low price of $100,000/month, private investment firms can now get faster access to Trump’s Truth Social posts.
This needs to be investigated and made illegal.

Donald Trump has destroyed our reputation as a world leader. And it will take a long time to rebuild the relationships and coalitions he has broken.
