Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" on January 14. (CNN)Sen. Bernie Sanders called on President Joe Biden Sunday to “change course” on the administration’s approach to the Israel-Hamas war, citing a “horrific humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza. "(The) president has got to change course.”"You cannot give billions of dollars to a country that ignores your wishes, violates international law," he said. But Sanders said the president has been “very clear" about his concerns for the people of Gaza, citing Biden’s comments about “indiscriminate bombing” and pressure the administration has put on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to adjust the IDF's strategy in Gaza. “I would hope that the president follows through on his concerns,” Sanders continued, calling on Biden to tell Netanyahu, “You aren’t getting a nickel more from the United States unless you radically change course.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders is the new head of a key Senate panel on labor issues. Sen. Bernie Sanders is pushing for a four-day workweek, worker-owned businesses, and taxing robots that replace workers. Sanders told Insider he plans to hold at least one hearing on the future of work, exploring how workers can benefit from a revolution in technology. "It is an outrage that you have a billionaire like Howard Schultz engaging in vicious anti-union activity and I think he has got to explain his illegal behavior to the Senate," Sanders told me. "As technology increases worker productivity, we want to look at a shorter workweek," he said.
Bernie Sanders says government should "tax the robots" that replace workers. In his new book, Sanders references Microsoft's Bill Gates' ideas on this issue. "We're going to need to adapt tax and regulatory policies" to address robots, Sanders write. He also wants to tax robots. His book references policy ideas from other proponents, including Microsoft's Bill Gates, a billionaire who Sanders notes is "not someone I regularly agree with."
