As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Companies like Walmart don't pay workers enough to buy food — and then turn around and makes millions from SNAP dollars spent in their stores.

My plan puts people first: lowering food costs and making sure a full-time job is enough to keep food on the table. #hunger #snap #poverty #greed

If you’re wondering why your government never makes your life easier, it’s pretty much this simple.
We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

#TBT to 1999, when rent was cheap and Congress was… exactly the same.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

My 13 year old daughter told me that Trump called a reporter “piggy” today to shut her up. Are we done yet? #sexism #misogyny

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

It's #WomenWednesday and I want to thank Lucy Nolan, former Exec. Director of End Hunger CT! for her years of advocacy, and for joining me next week to discuss my policy to lower food costs and end hunger.

In the richest country in the world, it’s inexcusable that our veterans don’t have the guarantee of food on the table. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who serve — a debt we’re falling short of meeting. It’s time to get our priorities right.
