This is what authoritarianism looks like. 38 days before the midterms, narcissist-in-chief Trump is illegally using $430,000 in taxpayer dollars to run a 30-second ad on Fox praising himself. This is what you'd see in North Korea, not America. Fox: Take this bogus ad down.

Trump and his friends at the state dinner for China. A government of, by and for the billionaire class.

Donald Trump's super PAC plans to spend up to $500 million to buy the midterm elections. Megadonors from both parties — almost all billionaires — have spent another $1.8 billion. ENOUGH. Get big money out of politics. End Citizens United. Move to public funding of elections.

The American people, overwhelmingly, want to end this horrific war in Iran. Pathetically, today, nearly every Republican voted with Trump to keep the war going. When will Republicans represent their constituents and have the courage to oppose their mentally unstable leader?

California’s Billionaire Wealth Tax: Healthcare vs. Greed On November 3rd, at a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality, the people of California will decide whether to pass a 5% wealth tax on more than 200 billionaires in California who are worth $2.2 trillion. This initiative, known as Proposition 40, would raise enough revenue to prevent 3 million working-class Californians from losing the healthcare they currently have as a result of Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill. Last year, these billionaires became $500 billion richer. As a result of a rigged tax code, they pay a lower effective tax rate than a plumber or a nurse. The greed of these billionaires is really extraordinary. Instead of paying their fair share of taxes, billionaires are now spending $229 million — 0.01% of their wealth — to oppose a 5% tax on their wealth. The effort against this initiative is being led by the 4th wealthiest man in the world, Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, who is spending over $100 million to defeat it. If the California billionaire wealth tax is passed, Mr. Brin would owe $13.5 billion more in taxes. But don't feel sorry for him. He would still have $256.5 billion left over to feed his family. (And don’t let him fool you into thinking he left the state. Mr. Brin owns at least four mansions in California worth some $103.5 million. Tax experts have made it clear that he would owe this tax.) It is also being opposed by Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Larry Ellison, Eric Schmidt and Peter Thiel. These 5 Big Tech billionaires are worth over $646 billion combined. Dangerously, many oligarchs today believe that they have the divine right to rule and that they are masters of the universe. They live lives completely separate from ordinary people and are obsessed with becoming even richer and more powerful than they already are. The result: They would rather let people in California suffer or die because they can’t afford to go to a doctor than pay their fair share of taxes. Let's be clear: These billionaires have more money than they could spend in over 100 lifetimes. How many mansions do they need? How many yachts do they need? How many private jets do they need? So today I say to the billionaire class: Control your greed. Show a bit of compassion to working families and their kids in California. Instead of spending $229 million on TV ads against this wealth tax, I have a better idea: Start paying your fair share of taxes. In 1933, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.” What Justice Brandeis said was accurate 93 years ago. It is even more accurate today. Our job now is to tell the Oligarchs in California that we will no longer tolerate their insatiable greed. We will choose healthcare for working families and their children over obscene wealth for the richest people in the world. Let us stand together in solidarity. They have the money. We have the people. Let's win this struggle.

Trump invited 10 Big Tech Oligarchs to his private dinner with President Xi of China. They have nearly doubled their wealth since Trump's election & are now worth almost $2 trillion. Here's how much richer each of them got since Trump was elected: Elon Musk: ⬆️ $658 billion Michael Dell: ⬆️ $141 billion Jensen Huang: ⬆️ $70 billion Jeff Bezos: ⬆️ $59 billion Mark Zuckerberg: ⬆️ $57 billion Lisa Su: ⬆️ $2.1 billion Sam Altman: ⬆️ $1.3 billion Tim Cook: ⬆️ $1 billion Satya Nadella: ⬆️ $400 million Sundar Pichai: ⬆️ $300 million Let’s be clear. The function of AI must be to improve life for all humanity, not just make a handful of billionaires even richer.

Young people are sick and tired of status quo politics. They're sick and tired of billionaire-funded super PACs buying elections. Join me tonight to organize young people across Michigan to help elect Abdul El-Sayed in November. nitter.net/i/broadcasts/1dKrPrprp…

Trump is throwing 15 million people off their healthcare and doubling insurance premiums for over 20 million. Now he wants to kick another 750,000 people off the ACA. Trump's horrific priorities: tax breaks for the rich, billions more for war, cruelty for working families.

Jensen Huang, the CEO of leading AI company Nvidia, just said: If an AI model will "damage the world — then I think the answer is that we have to shut the labs down." My new bill to ban Artificial Superintelligence would do just that. If you can't control it, don't build it.

After thousands of years of never-ending war, we must finally bring issues of international conflict to the negotiating table and off of the battlefield. Might does not make right. We must strengthen the UN and international diplomacy, and stop wars.

This is what oligarchy and political corruption is all about. Crypto billionaires are now spending $30 million to defeat Sherrod Brown in Ohio — only days after Senate Democrats blocked their CLARITY Act. We cannot allow billionaires to buy elections. Fight back!

By 34 points, voters are more likely to vote for a candidate who will make billionaires pay their fair share. By 17 points, voters are more likely to vote for a candidate who supports Medicare for All. The progressive, pro-working class agenda is the agenda Americans want.

Loneliness and isolation are growing problems among our youth. I recently asked a group of young people if their generation is having a harder time knowing how to relate to others. What do you think they said?

Average gas price: $4.48 Average diesel price: $6.50 2026 BIG OIL PROFITS: $125 billion ENOUGH. Congress must stop Big Oil from profiteering while Americans can’t afford to fill up their gas tanks.

Trump has now banned CNN, MS NOW and POLITICO from entering the White House grounds.  That’s not all. He is threatening that more news organizations who criticize him, including the New York Times and Washington Post, will be next.  Why? Because when demagogues like Trump are in trouble they want to control the flow of information and silence media that might hold them accountable. We will not allow Trump to undermine the First Amendment, the Constitution and our democracy. We will not accept authoritarianism. Fight back.

Trump’s racist and lying tirade against Angie Nixon tells you one thing. They're EXTREMELY worried she’s going to win. And they should be scared because, with your help, she WILL win. I look forward to campaigning with Angie and our friends in Florida in the very near future.

Candidate Trump: "We’re going to get gasoline below $2 a gallon." Candidate Trump: "I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.” President Trump this week: $4.44 a gallon gas "is a very inexpensive price" to pay for the Iran War he started. Enough. End the war NOW!
