The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

Will you join Professor @RBReich for his last class? 

Although he’s well known as a former Secretary of Labor and author, Robert always considered teaching his true calling. As he faces his final class before retiring as a professor, he wrestles with the dual realities of his own aging and his students inheriting a world out of balance. 

Our new documentary, The Last Class, will premiere June 27, 2025.

I’ve been around politics for nearly 50 years, trying my best to stand up for the little guy. But my generation of Baby Boomers failed to stop the bullies.

In my new memoir, I examine what went wrong — and what our children can do to build a better America.

Thank you so much for your support.

I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on @colbertlateshow last summer.

He has always been kind to me when I've been a guest on his various shows — and he's a wicked smart satirist.

Are you planning to tune in to his farewell show tomorrow night?

Just some helpful context now that Jeff Bezos is back in the news...

“While our job as professors has been to teach you, what makes being a professor so rewarding, especially in a place like this, is that we are also learning from you.”

Professor Robert Reich reflects on his time at Berkeley as he delivers his keynote address to the graduating Class of 2026 at Spring Commencement.

Stephen Colbert has been one of the most thoughtful, funny, and genuinely decent people on television. I’ve always enjoyed his work — especially the Colbert Report.

Here’s a clip from when I was a guest back in 2010.

After this Thursday’s episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his lawless regime. Our society and democracy will be the worse for it.

Farewell, and thank you, Stephen.

Lining his pockets while he ignores millions of people in this country who are struggling to get by and whose lives are being made worse every single day by his decision making. Unprecedented corruption unlike anything I've ever seen.

Today's primary between Thomas Massie and his Trump-backed challenger is the most expensive House primary in history.

The pro-Israel lobby has spent millions on this race and others across the country.

But it's not the only Big Money group trying to buy the midterms. Watch.

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.

Kudos to @zohrankmamdani @nycmayor for exposing the lie behind Ronald Reagan’s most famous quote.

This is what true public service looks like.

I've worked for three presidents, including one Republican.

No previous administration was this awash in corruption and conflicts of interest.
