Take heed! If Democrats in Washington remain unified and resolute, it will be crystal clear that it's in fact Trump and the MAGA Republicans who are hellbent on raising your health insurance premiums by multiples. This fight matters.

While the Trump Admin is distracting Americans w/ culture wars, they're deploying evil policy under our noses. A mother & daughter w/ arguable asylum claims were deported w/out mother's meds. She died soon thereafter.

Pure evil from Team Trump.

We strongly condemn all political violence. This is not how we resolve political differences in this country. We are hoping for the well being of Charlie Kirk.

We are thinking about the families impacted by today's shooting in Minnesota. Children are the soul of our nation. To lose more of them to yet another senseless atrocity with a gun deepens the stain on our country.

On this day in 1965, one of the greatest pieces of legislation in American history was passed, the Voting Rights Act.🗳️

Unfortunately, the struggle isn’t over. We honor that legacy by continuing to protect and expand access to the ballot box.
