Across the country the message was clear. Americans don't like the direction we are headed. Some of the elections tonight were historic, and all of them mattered. Way to go America! #democrats

In case you did not know it, private health insurance is not looking out for you. They are looking out for their shareholders. We need to stop supporting companies that trade our lives for profits. It is time for a real solution. It's time for Medicare for All #Medicareforall

SNAP benefits do more than just feed Americans struggling with food insecurity. These benefits impact almost every level of our economy, from U.S. farmers to those who stock our grocery store shelves. Every dollar spent yields $1.50 in economic impact. SNAP is a good investment. #snap

Yesterday I took some time to spend with my family. November is National Adoption Month and, November 1, is the anniversary of the day I adopted my sons. It was the greatest decision I have ever made. There are so many ways you can get involved. #NationalAdoptionMonth #FosterCare

We can do better. We should not be arguing about how hard we can make it for working families. The only reason we are constantly at odds over healthcare is that we still refuse to fix it. #SNAP #MedicareForAll

We can't ignore it any longer. Healthcare is not a privilege for the wealthy. We can't continue to bargain with people's lives. It's time for a solution. #medicareforall #saveourhealthcare

While I did not speak at the rally, I was already a filed federal candidate and it was not meant to be a campaign rally for individual candidates, I was there.

The Post Register shared my latest thoughts on Republican actions to hurt Veterans and seniors. #IDPol #SaveSocialSecurity

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

With two straight days of record stock market sell-off we are already seeing the pain of this disastrous Republican trade war. #TradeWar #LiberationDay

Small businesses are already feeling the pain of Trump's "Liberation Day"

Republicans are looking to throw the checks and balances demanded by our Constitution out the window. We can't let them.

Senator Risch is enabling dismantling our government piece by piece. It is time to take a stand.

The tide is turning

I didn’t plan on running again so soon.

Senator Risch and the rest of the Republican Senators. Are you still feeling that Pete is completely qualified to be Secretary of Defense? Asking for a friend. #Signal #Goldberg

The Republican Rip Off

House Republicans are planning to betray the middle class and raise costs on American families, all to pay for giveaways to Trump's billionaire donors.

Senate Democrats should NOT advance the Republican Continuing Resolution. It will cost low and middle income Americans too much!

Had a great weekend in Boise at the Frank and Bethine Church Gala with 1,000 fellow Democrats. We had amazing speakers. Malcolm Kenyatta and Eric Swalwell joined for the event. The energy is great; people are ready for a change. There are more events happening across the state.
