It is not complicated. Artificial intelligence must be used to benefit all of humanity, not make a handful of multi-billionaires even richer.

The Trump admin just waived human rights conditions on $300 million in military aid to the dictatorship in Egypt.
The same week, Egypt’s government arrested the entire newsroom of an independent outlet.

In a new experiment, nearly half the people on a video call thought they were speaking to a human. They weren't. It was a new AI model.
That is INSANE.
Does anyone in America think it is a good idea to race forward to build machines that replace us?
PAUSE AI NOW.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Community note
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

Going to the doctor? Flock knows.
Dropping your kid off at school? Flock is tracking you.
Big Tech oligarchs are funding over 100,000 AI–powered Flock surveillance cameras to track Americans’ every move. Ban Flock NOW.

Thanks to Trump’s “Big, Beautiful, Bill” monthly student loan bills are skyrocketing for millions of Americans. Many report payments more than doubling.
Why? Because Trump made the largest cut to education in history to pay for tax breaks for his oligarch friends. Unacceptable.

Trump says we don’t need ANY guardrails on AI because his oligarch friends Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg “love the world a lot” and will “self-police.”
Really?
You’re asking us to trust the people who stand to make trillions from AI to regulate themselves?
Q: Tell us why the world shouldn't be concerned about AI, why there shouldn't be guardrails?
TRUMP: Because we have people that love our country and love the world a lot
Q: It requires more than love, doesn't it?
TRUMP: No. It requires this *points to head* and they're the smartest people in the world

In January 2024 I forced a vote to investigate human rights abuses by Israel in Gaza. Only 11 Senators supported it.
Today, 47 Senators voted on a similar resolution to investigate Israel’s actions in the West Bank.
Listen to the American people:
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

The United States cannot keep bankrolling the violence in Gaza and the West Bank.
It's time to end our complicity.

In Trump’s vulgar world of oligarchy, greed and corruption, he wants to cut off student loans for these majors because he doesn't think graduates will earn enough:
Teaching
Social work
Art
Counseling
Religious studies
Music
Pathetic!

Israel's election committee banned both major Arab parties four weeks before the election.
If it wasn’t already clear, Netanyahu and his far-right allies want an Israel where Palestinian citizens, 20% of the population, have no voice at all.

The Florida Attorney General & I do not have much in common politically. But he is right on this: Advanced AI research should not go forward until we have strong guardrails.
This is not just a Florida issue. It is an issue for the whole country & the world.

ICE recently shot Texas DoorDash driver Rafael Perez in the back — the 21st known ICE shooting under Trump.
ICE arrested 51,000+ people in August. The majority of the detainees had NO criminal record.
We must stop Trump's domestic army. We need comprehensive immigration reform.

Pope Leo is right. Technology must serve humanity, not the other way around.
Pope Leo XIV on AI:
Today, we possess the means to connect people and continents instantaneously. Yet at the same time we are witnessing new forms of isolation, material and spiritual poverty, and abandonment. Communication has become much faster, but not necessarily more truthful. Information is abundant, but that is not synonymous with wisdom. Without a shared ethical foundation, the many channels of communication risk multiplying false information and giving currency to words devoid of meaning, thereby hindering dialogue rather than fostering it. Artificial intelligence amplifies this problem.

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than Citigroup after making $4 billion in profits, charging 32.74% interest on credit cards & slashing 20,000 jobs.
Trump said he'd cap credit card interest rates at 10% & his tax breaks would create jobs. He lied.

Trump says communities that oppose data centers will end up “backwards” and “poor”.
Yesterday, Mar-a-Lago’s own Palm Beach County passed a year-long ban on these facilities.
Maybe Trump’s neighbors know something he doesn’t.

Tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they cannot afford to go to the doctor. Unacceptable.
I asked Trump's FDA nominee Heidi Overton if she believes healthcare is a human right.
Her answer was not surprising.

The leading experts are clear: AI is rapidly escaping our control.
Congress must act NOW.
Today I’m introducing legislation to permanently ban artificial superintelligence and pause advanced AI until clear safety rules are in place.
