We cannot allow AI and robotics to simply wipe out millions of decent-paying jobs.

This new technology must benefit workers — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and the other tech billionaires and CEOs of large corporations.
Tens of Thousands of White-Collar Jobs Are Disappearing as AI Starts to Bite
Companies ranging from Amazon to Target are sending workers into an unwelcoming market.

Reports coming out this week are showing that AI has already pushed thousands of Americans out of the workforce. That number is only going to grow. Congress and tech companies must work together to prevent wide-scale job loss and a mass economic disruption.

The horrific situation in Sudan continues to concern me, and we cannot afford to overlook the atrocities happening in al-Fashir. It is imperative we press for more focus on the region and an end to this conflict.

It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children.

The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children.

Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.

We're 9 months into Trump's presidency – and prices are up across the board thanks to his agenda.

Democrats are forcing a vote on the Senate floor to repeal Trump’s global tariffs.

Republicans need to grow a spine and vote yes.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

Coffee prices are up 21%.

Ground beef prices up 13%.

Big reason why?

Trump’s chaotic tariffs on Brazil.

I voted to repeal these tariffs along with every Democrat and a few Republicans, and it PASSED the Senate.

All eyes now on House Republicans who are still on vacation.

Trump says there’s no money to pay federal workers, but he’s spending:

$20 to $40 billion to bail out Argentina
$300 million on his vanity ballroom
$172 million on two luxury jets for Kristi Noem
Hundreds of millions for outfitting his foreign jet

I happen to believe that your elected officials should vote to reopen government AND keep your premiums from more than doubling.
 
Government should be open and Americans shouldn't go bankrupt to afford health care.

House Republicans have been on vacation for five weeks.

And have zero interest in opening it back up.

JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has voted 52–48 to overturn Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil. Five Republicans joined Democrats: Susan Collins (ME), Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Rand Paul (KY), and Thom Tillis (NC).

The measure is DOA in the House.

The Regime is now threatening Social Security and Medicare if the government shutdown doesn’t end.

Reminder that Republicans have the power to end the shutdown at ANY TIME.

They simply do not care to do so.
Social Security, Medicare are "going to be gone," Donald Trump warns
Trump made the comments in response to criticism from a Democrat amid the government shutdown.

SNAP food benefits have never stopped during a government shutdown. The only difference this time is the admin's refusal to use USDA contingency funds that kept the program running in every past shutdown.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

On the new 10% tax on Americans who buy stuff from Canada: "The powers he would be using are the Emergency Powers Act. The Emergency Powers Act both says nothing about tariffs and requires a national emergency. And the president having his feelings hurt is by no means a national emergency. "
