'I Know It's A Radical Idea,' Says Bernie Sanders, 'But We Need A Government That Represents Working Families, Not Billionaires'
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is again sounding the alarm on what he sees as a system rigged for the ultra-wealthy and against working Americans. 'The system is just not working for the average American,' Sanders wrote in a recent post on X. 'Not wages, not health care, not housing, not educational opportunity, not retirement security.' He added: 'I know it's a radical idea, but we need a government that represents working families, not the billionaire class.'

'This used to be, decades ago, one of the strongest Democratic states in the country,' he said. 'Now it's a strong Republican state, because I think in many ways the Democratic Party has turned its back on what was its base.' He told CNN that economic issues cut across political lines and that many red states are filled with people who want affordable housing, better wages and guaranteed health care. 'They don't want to see tax breaks for billionaires. They don't want to see the rich get richer. They want health care as a human right. They want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage,' Sanders said. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can He also didn't shy away from criticizing then-Vice President Kamala Harris' failed presidential campaign, saying she was too influenced by wealthy donors. 'She had too many billionaires telling her not to speak up for the working class of this country,' he said. A Broken System That Protects The Powerful Sanders in Jujne warned of a new class of 'uber capitalists' who believe they deserve to rule in a 'Flagrant' podcast. 'There is a new breed of uber capitalists out there who really believe... that they are superior human beings,' he said. He pointed to far-right rhetoric that openly dismisses democracy in favor of elite rule. Sanders said this mindset echoes old ideas of divine entitlement. 'Back in the 19th century... I am the king, God made my family king. Sorry you're starving to death, but that's the way life goes.'He criticized billionaires for hoarding wealth and only choosing to give it away when they are near death, calling it a system that has the resources to solve real problems but refuses to act. 'We are the richest country in the history of the world,' he said. 'And yet 60% of people live paycheck to paycheck.' 'Is it a radical idea that we join every other major country on Earth and guarantee health care for people?' Sanders asked on CNN. 'Is it a radical idea to say that we've got to raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour?' For Sanders, these aren't fringe ideas—they're common sense in much of the developed world.

Trump warned by top Senate Democrats to rethink advanced AI chip sales to China
Six Senate Democrats on Friday released an open letter asking President Donald Trump to reconsider his decision to allow tech giants Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices to sell AI semiconductor chips to China in exchange for 15% of revenue from the sales. The letter — signed by Senators Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Mark Warner, D-Va.; Jack Reed, D-R.I.; Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.; Christopher Coons, D-Del.; and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. — was in response to an Aug. 11 announcement by Trump that Nvidia and AMD would pay the U.S. government a 15% cut of revenue from chip sales to China in exchange for export licenses. "Our national security and military readiness relies upon American innovators inventing and producing the best technology in the world, and in maintaining that qualitative advantage in sensitive domains. The United States has historically been successful in maintaining and building that advantage because of, in part, our ability to deny adversaries access to those technologies," the letter states. "The willingness displayed in this arrangement to 'negotiate' away America's competitive edge that is key to our national security in exchange for what is, in effect, a commission on a sale of AI-enabling technology to our main global competitor, is cause for serious alarm," the letter continues. Senators also warned that selling advanced AI chips — specifically Nvidia's H20 and AMD's MI308 chips — to China could help strengthen its military systems, a claim that Nvidia denies. In a statement to CNBC, a Nvidia spokesperson said: "The H20 would not enhance anyone's military capabilities, but would have helped America attract the support of developers worldwide and win the AI race. Banning the H20 cost American taxpayers billions of dollars, without any benefit." The letter from Senate Democrats also requests a detailed response from the administration by Friday, Aug. 22, regarding the current deal involving Nvidia and AMD, as well as any similar arrangements being made with other companies. "We again urge your administration to quickly reverse course and abandon this reckless plan to trade away U.S. technology leadership," the letter states. A request for comment from the White House and AMD was not immediately returned. Despite Trump allowing chip sales to resume, it has already become clear that China isn't welcoming Nvidia back with open arms, instead urging tech companies to avoid buying U.S. companies' chips, according to a Bloomberg report. "We're hearing that this is a hard mandate, and that [authorities are actually] stopping additional orders of H20s for some companies," Qingyuan Lin, a senior analyst covering China semiconductors at Bernstein, told CNBC. In a separate report, The Information said regulators in China have ordered major tech companies, including ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent, to suspend Nvidia chip purchases until a national security review is complete. —

Trump seeks to sue California over clean trucking effort
The Trump administration is seeking to sue California to try to halt the state from enforcing its effort to electrify its truck fleet. The administration filed motions to join existing cases against the state over its rules seeking to reduce pollution and planet-warming emissions from trucks. The moves come after the Trump administration axed California's rules — but did so in a legally contested manner. Now, the Trump administration and truck makers are accusing the state of enforcing the now-overturned standards through its 'Clean Truck Partnership' under which truck companies agreed to follow the state's rules in exchange for some additional flexibility. The California Air Resources Board, which is in charge of the truck rules, declined to comment. At issue are California rules including the Advanced Clean Trucks rule, which would require a large percentage of trucks sold in the state to be electric by 2035. In 2023, a group of truck makers agreed to meet California's standards in exchange for some concessions from the state in what became known as the Clean Truck Partnership. Under the Clean Air Act, California is required to get federal approval for its auto regulations. The Biden administration approved the state's rule. This year, however, Congress and President Trump approved a resolution using the Congressional Review Act to overturn the approval of the California rule. The move occurred despite determinations from the Senate parliamentarian and the Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan congressional watchdog, which said that it was not subject to the Congressional Review Act. Now, the Trump administration is arguing in court that California has sought to enforce its rules through the Clean Truck Partnership, describing the state's effort as a 'a stunning act of defiance.' Earlier this week, Daimler Truck North America, International Motors, Paccar and Volvo Group North America sued the Trump administration to try to axe the state's rules and the partnership.
