South Bend continues to shape me in so many ways. It's always great to be back to see how far the city - and its people - have come.

Everywhere I go, people are talking about the same thing: the president’s failure to bring down prices and make life in this country more affordable.

Even if you do usually vote Republican, most of us can agree at this point that the administration has gone way, way too far.

Mayors across the country are delivering with a model of leadership that our national politics could learn a lot from.
My friend Mayor @justinmbibb.bsky.social is doing exactly that in Cleveland as he begins his second term.

Even in our polarized country, more and more people from left, right, and center are coalescing to demand change.

Of course the president will do anything to avoid talking about his economic failures.

I’m thrilled to support my friend @amyklobuchar.com for governor of Minnesota.
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.
And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.
I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.
Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

Even elected Republicans are starting to wake up to the reality that they cannot outrun the will of the people.
Your voice matters, well before Election Day, in more ways than you may realize.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.
But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

If your representative is voting to cut health care while giving tax breaks to billionaires, they should at least be willing to stand in front of you and explain why.

Again, the president could dramatically lower health insurance premiums TODAY with one phone call to Senate leadership, but he refuses.

A day will come when Donald Trump no longer dominates our politics.
Even though this is obvious, it’s hard to keep in mind.
The future will belong to those who can think clearly about what happens next.

It is now clear that Trump-style tariffs have objectively failed at delivering manufacturing job growth in the US.
They just make things cost more.

President Trump flipping off an autoworker is just the latest insult after a long line of broken promises to American workers and manufacturing communities.

I’ve seen firsthand how @marypeltola.com puts Alaskans ahead of DC politics and stays focused on improving everyday life for the people she represents. She’ll make an outstanding US Senator and I’m proud to support her in this race.
My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska.
We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.
If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
