Senator Bernie Sanders is under fire after teaming up with two Chinese nationals with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party at an event warning about the dangers of AI.

His co-panelists included a professor at the CCP-funded Tsinghua University, which has been linked to the Beijing cyber espionage campaigns against the United States, along with the dean of the Beijing Institute of AI Safety and Governance.

People understand that CEOs make 300 times more than their workers.

And people say, you know what?

The only way we're going to get decent wages and benefits is when we organize.
