    I have long believed the U.S. must responsibly end our military interventions in the Middle East. But Trump’s abrupt announcement to withdraw from northern Syria and endorse Turkey’s incursion is extremely irresponsible. It is likely to result in more suffering and instability.

    U.S. forces are set to withdraw from northern Syria ahead of an expected Turkish incursion that could spark fighting with U.S.-backed Kurds

    . has long been an advocate for systemic change, w/ bold proposals like imposing a wealth tax on billionaires. These are the types of policies we need to overhaul the corrupt system that got Trump elected. My interview from the archives:

    Fast-food workers too often face starvation wages and unjust working conditions. Forming a union is the best way to give workers a voice to get fair treatment from billion-dollar corporations. I support the workers leading the fight for $15 and a union.

    For over a year, Haitians have demonstrated against government corruption and rising costs. As protests grow, I am concerned about increased violence. Using live ammunition against protesters and journalists violates basic human rights and is unacceptable.

    This ruling threatens to give more power to unaccountable companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon over what we see and do on the internet. We must fight to keep the internet free and open—not dominated by corporations. This struggle is essential to free speech and democracy.

    The American people are not falling for billionaires' anti-worker propaganda. Support for unions is near a 50-year high. More unions will rebuild the middle class, combat corporate greed, and ensure that workers get their fair share. The labor movement makes our country strong.

    The greed of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Citigroup and BlackRock is insatiable. Who cares if the Saudis are starving millions of Yemeni civilians or that our planet faces a climate emergency? Profiting off of $1.5 trillion in Saudi oil is just too important.

    CEOs say they want to make a social impact. Here's a way to do that: Instead of making 300 times more than their employees, maybe they should raise workers' wages and try getting by on 30 times more. Top CEOs in America did this not so long ago and somehow managed to survive.

    One wanted to “elevate the world’s consciousness.” Another aspired to “make a bigger difference around the world.”…

    A Green New Deal isn't just about the climate—it is about preventing hunger and illness. The time for incremental change has passed. We must fight to rapidly transform our energy system.

    This behavior toward as she performed her House duties is unacceptable. I voted against creating ICE because I feared the agency and its leaders would act with impunity. We need an immigration system that respects human rights and Congress's oversight authority.

    We have got to get to the bottom of this. The American people have a right to know what deals Trump might be making with the murderous Saudi dictator that he loves so much.

    “In the case of Trump's call w Prince Mohammed, officials who ordinarily would have been given access to a rough transcript of the conversation never saw one...Instead a transcript was never circulated at all, which source said was highly unusual..”

    This is what a rigged economy looks like: While labor productivity has more than doubled since the late 1960s, nearly half of all new income since 1993 has gone to the top 1 percent. Meanwhile Americans continue to work some of the longest hours on earth.

    The undemocratic fiscal control board of Puerto Rico is still working hand in hand with Wall Street, with a plan for more austerity and slashed pensions. The board must stop dictating Puerto Rico’s economic decisions and let the people decide their future.

    There are almost no communities in the U.S. where you can work 40 hours per week at minimum wage and afford a one bedroom apartment. In some areas, you would need to work the equivalent of TWO full time minimum wage jobs. This is the affordable housing crisis in America.

    Mr. Trump made a series of disastrous choices this week—decisions that tear at the fabric of what this country is about. This is one of them. We must not turn our backs on refugees fleeing horrific violence and persecution around the world.

    Breaking News: President Trump slashed the American refugee program by almost half. Only 18,000 people will be accepted during the next 12 months.

    This Republican mayor leads the first city in Texas powered by 100% renewable energy. Addressing climate change and creating millions of good-paying jobs in the process should not be a partisan issue.
