We need to step in and say platforms like this need rules of the road on communication.
The problem is one of power, and concentrated power. It’s about one person making all of the decisions about how tens of millions of people will have an opportunity to communicate with each other.
Right now what we’ve got in tech is we don’t have that kind of competition. Rules of the road could help facilitate that kind of competition and frankly break the stranglehold of someone like Elon Musk coming in and just owning the whole…
We need rules of the road, and look, there are going to be rules. Like I said, the only question is, will Elon Musk decide all the rules by himself in a darkroom or is it going to be the case that we’re going to decide this as a country?
Are we going to make these decisions as a democracy, or is this going to be Elon Musk all by himself off in a room, a bazillionaire who just plays by his own set of rules? That’s really what’s at stake here.
We need a wealth tax in America, and let’s talk about how Elon’s purchase here was subsidized by tens of millions of people who’ve paid their taxes every year and the second part is we need rules of the road for big tech, but ultimately…
Elon Musk, you made a bazillion dollars. Good for you. The rest of us invested in all the things that were necessary to have a foundation so that you could do that.

I think there`s a question that the Department of Justice should take a really hard look to see if that fits within any of our current -- I mean, it is a kind of shaggy dog version of how you get to what`s going on here. Does it violate…
We need to finalize a budget reconciliation deal making giant corporations pay their share to fund vital investments in combating climate change and lowering costs for families, which can advance with only 50 Senate votes.
It is time to hit the accomplishments and have a clear governing leadership and message on taking on corporate power.
Know-your-customer requirements require the financial institutions to ask basic questions about potential clients before helping them hide buckets of cash in our financial markets.
That creates a huge loophole for oligarchs to be able to evade sanctions and to continue to carry on business right here in the United States.
CFIUS only reviews a few hundred transactions a year, and it focuses on investments that lead to foreign control of important U.S. businesses.
With every day that passes, Russian oligarchs and Government officials continue to profit from illegal investments in the United States.
The Biden administration has rallied the world to impose historic sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Get rid of the filibuster, and that`s one of the things that we could do in order to do what the American people sent us here to do.
I see what`s happening in Oklahoma as just one more piece of evidence that an extremist Supreme Court is no longer just laying down the rules.
Get rid of the filibuster, and that’s one of the things that we could do in order to do what the American people sent us here to do.
So, look, I grew up in Oklahoma, and I grew up at a time when abortion was illegal. But, even as a little girl, I understood that women still got abortions.
Even if you don`t have student loan debt, even if you don`t know anyone who has student loan debt, which means there are like four of you out there. But, no matter what, you still would be helped if we cancel student loan debt.
