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?
We need healthcare and affordable housing for all Americans, not taxpayer funding for war crimes.
The FCC is now threatening ABC's broadcast licenses, days after Donald Trump and Melania Trump demanded they fire Jimmy Kimmel.
This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
Mr. President: Read the Constitution. Freedom of speech is the First Amendment for good reason.
Trump is considering a large bailout for a multibillionaire dictator while he cuts health care for 15 million Americans.
This is insane. The working families of the United States need help, not one of the richest families in the world.
Read my new Fox News op-ed: www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...
In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages.
As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie.
Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI.
Dockworkers on the West Coast broke every productivity record — and are now being replaced by AI anyway.
This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about eliminating workers.

Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars.
I'm proud to support the nurses at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago who are fighting to form a union.
If RUMC can pay its CEO over $4 million a year, it can afford to provide better working conditions for nurses & staffing levels that are safe for their patients.
For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon.
The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government.
This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.
The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.
It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do.
When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide.
We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.
The American people do not want endless war.
Trump’s obscene budget.
