Trump is an authoritarian. He wants to intimidate his political opponents, the media and all those who disagree with him. Ilhan Omar came to America legally as a child refugee fleeing civil war, became a citizen and was elected to Congress. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to silence opposition. Fight back. Defend democracy.
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The most potent force in American politics is anti-establishment fury at a system seen as rigged against average working people. AI has become Exhibit A. Will Democrats seize the moment and embrace the new AI-fueled economic populism? Or will they continue to succumb to the siren song of Big Money? robertreich.substack.com/p/t…

Donald Trump is now the first president in American history to own and regulate his own bank. Just one more opportunity to feast off the American people.

Scientists and industry leaders have been increasingly clear: AI could soon be smarter than humans and function outside of our control. For the sake of all of humanity, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty NOW to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.

Six Nobel Prize-winning economists support California’s billionaire tax. Here’s why. 10 years ago, the richest 0.001% of Californians were worth $700 billion. Today, these 250 people are worth $2.3 trillion. The California income tax they paid over that period was just 1.6% of that gain. A nurse or a plumber pays a higher state tax rate.

You deserve a senator who will fight for your health care, your housing, and your family. That’s why I’m asking for your vote on September 8th. Together, we can build a future where every American has a fair shot. Thank you for your support! #nhpolitics #karishmaforsenate #newhampshire

The deadly Cyclospora diarrhea outbreak, it turns out, is just another Trump corruption story. A big donor gets a favor. And causes a massive public health crisis. Let me explain.

I appreciate AIPAC proving it doesn’t belong in the Dem Party and especially our primaries. From endorsing Jan 6th members to ensuring Congress remains in the hands of a 34-count felon, AIPAC is an org committed to undermining democracy at home and abroad. See you in November.
NEW: AIPAC signaling plans to spend for Republican Mike Rogers in #MISen "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."

I’m endorsing @AbdulElSayed today—because he is THE fighter Michigan needs in the Senate.

By spending his fortune trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, Google co-founder Sergey Brin is illustrating why we need to tax billionaires. Some thoughts... robertreich.substack.com/p/s…

California's proposed billionaire tax has officially gathered enough signatures to make the November ballot, per the Wall Street Journal. Here's why I'm encouraging my fellow Californians to vote YES on this much-needed measure to rein in the super rich.

Here’s the actual facts about jobs under trump. #SOTU2026
U.S. job market is in one of the worst recessions in decades. As an economist, I can confidently say that Trump is the most incompetent president of my lifetime.

Here are the "big winners" under Trump. Since Election Day: -Elon Musk became $540 billion richer -Larry Page became $107 billion richer -Sergey Brin became $94 billion richer The big loser under Trump: The average worker who has just $955 in retirement savings. SAD! #SOTU2026

James Gallagher just made this race simple. If you want Washington ruled by the whims of Donald Trump, he’s your guy. If you want a representative focused on lowering costs, protecting Medicare and Social Security, and keeping rural health care and wildfire response strong here at home, I’m your candidate. mynspr.org/news/2026-02-06/w…
