Therapist here. I am really starting to wonder if his dementia is so bad, that they keep him completely in the dark about the stuff going on around the country and keep him golfing because it keeps him out of the spotlight in a way. His mental decline has been really bad

It’s sad that it requires courage right now for a university president to file something as straightforward as this, but it does. Thanks to Tufts University President Sunil Kumar for filing this. www.tufts.edu/president/sp...

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful.

Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.

Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate.

Because we don't have a minute to wait.

Can someone explain the rules here - sincere question as I do not know them. Is this like a game where we only get three red cards a year or something? I love this. Just curious why we’re not doing it more.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.
