Can Democrats Mock Trump Into Defeat? As the president embraces strongman politics, Democrats are increasingly trying to make him seem little.

SEN SANDERS: AI must benefit everyone, not just a handful of billionaires Billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos invest billions in AI and robotics that could eliminate millions of jobs while increasing corporate profits at workers' expense.

Can AI and robotics help us in many ways? I am not a Luddite — I believe they can.

But we must make sure these new technologies benefit all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to read my op-ed in Fox News. Let’s start the debate.

1. The People & The System have a broken relationship.

As dangerous as canceling Colbert was for our democracy, it made him infinitely more powerful. I mean, who exactly was watching him before now? Firing him was a signal that what he has to say is REALLY important. I don’t care if he just starts a TikTok, he’ll become one of the key voices in America.

We’re living in dangerous times.

If you are a taxpayer in the United States of America, as I am, you are paying for this.
