I just got off the stage with Bernie

Working people must have a seat at the table. John,  I just got off the stage with Bernie. We talked about the future of AI. Who controls it, who benefits from it, and who gets left behind. Bernie and I were clear: we cannot allow a handful of tech giants to dictate the future of work, wages, and de…

From The NYT 📰: The “solidarity” of the Epstein class

The Epstein class is not above the law. John,  I spoke this week with New York Times columnist Ezra Klein about what I’ve learned from the Epstein files, and why it’s critical for us to hold the Epstein class accountable.  “Epstein’s network may not have known everything, but many of them knew enoug…

The “unredacted” Epstein files are still redacted

At least two agencies are concealing the Epstein class. John,  Rep. Massie and I reviewed the so-called  “unredacted” Epstein files this week.  Our biggest discovery?

Howard Lutnick is all over the Epstein files. He must resign.

The importance of friendship

A reflection on Congress, trust, and working across the aisle.
