I'm a blue dot in a very red state. I have spent my life in two of the worst - Texas and Alabama. I believe in equal justice for all and in treating everyone with respect and dignity.

The ten states where health care premiums are jumping by the highest percentage are all Republican states. Every single one.
This is a MAGA health care hike--and yet Senate Republicans aren't willing to lift a finger to help their own constituents.

As I previously said, with Trumpuglicans, cruelty is the point.
As a constituent, I am asking that @governorwalz.mn.gov and @keithellison.bsky.social arrest these men and prosecute them before they kidnap someone and intentionally freeze them to death
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

It is now the policy of Trumpuglicans to be as cruel as possible.
It’s pretty rich that Trump is traveling across the country on a meaningless “affordability tour” while he avoids negotiating a simple fix on ACA tax credits.
If he cared at all, he’d just get this done. Instead, he calls affordability a “hoax” and spikes costs for all.

When Democrats win elections, we can improve people’s lives. We can transform communities. We can make a difference for every American struggling to make ends meet.
That’s what’s at stake in 2026.

Did they turn away all the red state people and tell them they are not welcome. Too bad you just wasted your time coming here. GTF out!

Honored to welcome so many leaders to Chicago today for the Council of State Governments National Conference.
It's incumbent upon folks in rooms like this today to continue demonstrating the virtue and efficacy of civility in our politics.

He is seriously mentally ill. Get him out of office.
Donald Trump told Politico he has “very good” knowledge of Ukraine — then wrongly claimed Crimea is “surrounded by ocean on all four sides.” He said this while criticizing Obama for failing to stop Russia’s 2014 annexation.

Hmmm....no experience in emergency management.
NEW: Trump has tapped Gregg Phillips — the activist who gained national prominence after he claimed without evidence that millions of illegal votes had been cast in the 2016 presidential election — to oversee billions in federal relief funds and emergency operations.

his staff tried to cage him but degrowth donald cannot be muzzled
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Today, @merkley.senate.gov and I tried to pass our bill to block funds for military action in Venezuela. Republicans blocked it.

Shame on Tennessee, but just as I expected.
UPDATE — A new Tennessee Supreme Court redistricting ruling “slams the courthouse door in the face of Tennessee voters and gives the General Assembly free rein to largely ignore the constitution”👇🏽

Keep in mind these guys (the GOP) put a hemp ban into the continuing resolution bill that Schumer caved on because weed is the scary 80's black people drug that reagan no like.
This is why I refuse to be morally shamed by these people.

Summers has always been a shithead and even with this will probably still appear like clockwork on tv news braying on about inflation (wrong 99% of the time, then the one time he was right over Covid was praised as some sort of mystical clairvoyant - by the way everybody got that one right)

He was around for Trump's first term. I think he was a donor and eventually worked in RNC finance.
