I have arisen out of a sea of despair, hopeful and optimistic. I see the enemy at hand and speak out about their actions.

Senator Merkley has held the Senate floor all night—and he’s still going. He’s holding the floor for our healthcare. Our economy. Our rights. Our democracy.

the king blames his subjects for complaining about his policies hurting them
The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil. If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible! It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!

California has seen enough.

President Trump and Stephen Miller’s authoritarian playbook is coming for another of our cities, and violence and vandalism are exactly what they’re looking for to invoke chaos.

Help keep yourself and your communities safe. Remain peaceful.

What Governor Whitmer has ACCOMPLISHED in Michigan is EXACTLY why we need MORE bad ass Governors like Mickie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger to join her in the fight. These women kick ass and Virginia and New Jersey can vote for them on November 4th!

What Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been able to accomplish in Michigan is so hopeful for the future of this country…

Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social on Trump demolishing the East Wing of White House for his $250,000,000 ballroom: “It’s a powerful symbol of what Trump represents — destruction & desecration of some of our most cherished freedoms and rights.”

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Donald Trump and his GOP Congress' refusal to end their government shutdown is ripping food benefits from families in need across America.

California is filling the void — rushing tens of millions to food banks and directing the California National Guard to support their efforts.
CBS8: "Newsom deploys National Guard, CA Volunteers, fast-tracks $80M as shutdown halts food aid"

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.
