    The microchip industry shut down plants in America and hired cheap labor abroad. And now these very same companies are in line to receive $53 billion in corporate welfare to undo the damage that they did. Unbelievable.

    I believe that, maybe, just maybe, the time has come to take a "strategic pause" when it comes to providing tens of billions in corporate welfare to some of the most profitable corporations and wealthiest people on the planet.

    LIVE: Handing a $10 billion bailout to Jeff Bezos to fuel his space hobby and giving $53 billion in corporate welfare to microchip companies might make sense to Bezos and the CEO of Intel, but it makes no sense to me.

    If you pay $75 a month for an AT&T cell phone plan, you paid more to AT&T than it paid in taxes last year – a company that made $30 billion in profits in 2021 while receiving a $1.2 billion tax refund from the IRS.

    It is not acceptable for corporate America to make huge profits ripping off working families at the gas station, at the grocery store, or at any other sector of our economy. We have got to put an end to corporate greed.

    What recent union victories tell me is that working people all over this country are sick and tired of being exploited by corporations that are making record-breaking profits. Workers are fighting for justice in a way we have not seen in years.

    The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which over the last two decades spent nearly $1.4 billion on lobbying to stop legislation that meets the needs of the working class, is VERY NERVOUS that the American people are waking up to the reality of corporate greed and growing inequality.

    Sadly, my Republican colleagues seem to believe our battle against Covid-19 stops at our border. I regret to inform them that’s not how pandemics work. If we want to stop the coronavirus, we must fight it all over the world.

    Democratic and Republican senators are considering cutting as much as $5 billion in funding for the global vaccination effort from an emerging coronavirus aid package. The assistance is central to President Biden’s strategy of reducing vaccine inequality.

    Since her nomination by the President, and throughout the hearings, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has handled herself with dignity and intelligence – more than can be said of her critics. I’ll be voting for her and I’m confident she'll be an outstanding Supreme Court Justice.

    Marijuana should be legal nationwide. All marijuana convictions must be expunged. It is absurd that the federal government considers marijuana to be as dangerous as heroin.
