Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

Praying that the latest developments in the Middle East will lead to the real results we all hope to see: an end to the suffering and destruction, the return of all remaining hostages, and meaningful beginnings toward a lasting peace.

So far, Republicans would rather shut down the government. So Americans face flight delays, reduced services, and mounting economic damage.

It's time for Trump and Republicans to change course on health care and reopen the government.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid.

Which is an easily disproven lie.

Loved joining fellow Michigan Democrats in Grand Rapids last night. They are hard at work and fast underway, organizing to win based on our values and message of ensuring every level of government actually works for the people, delivering a better and more affordable everyday life for all.

The policy failures we’re living with didn’t begin with Donald Trump - and they very clearly won't end with him either.

My party has to offer a vision for how everyday life actually gets better under new and different leadership.

Republicans control every branch in Washington.

Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on.

His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

Our family is keeping the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints community in Grand Blanc in our prayers, especially those close to the victims. Grateful for the first responders and emergency workers who acted with courage in face of such horror.

Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

The Trump administration owes @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, and all Americans, an explanation of the breach of her personal data, and it must be investigated so something like this cannot happen again.

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Republicans know that if they have to face voters on their record, they’ll lose.

Proud to stand with Hoosier Democrats yesterday to say politics doesn’t have to be about these absurd games. It should be about you, and about making everyday life better.

Our founders overthrew a king and created a new government on the basic principle that everyday life goes better when people have the power to choose their leaders - not the other way around.
