Sen. Markey's for speech at the Massachusetts Democratic convention was fire!

Political violence can not be tolerated, not today, not January 6th, not ever.

The WH rhetoric created this, fostered this, incited this, and should be ashamed.

Gun laws are not a violation of the 2nd amendment but a statement of values: stations of war have no place in Civil Society.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah.

Political violence has no place in our country.

To paraphrase @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, if we want to rebuild democracy and society we have to make this kind of shameless lying politically and socially unacceptable.
Mike Johnson claims that Trump was an FBI informant who was trying to take down Jeffrey Epstein.

Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.

Melrose Dems are working on GOTV now!

Postcards are printing—now we need to send them!

The cost to mail them is actually higher than printing, and we’ve got a lot of new voters and folks in hard-to-reach apartment buildings who deserve to hear from us.

BREAKING: The Oversight Committee has officially issued the Epstein Files subpoena we helped pass.

The subpoena is clear and airtight: the Trump DOJ must release the files by August 19.

As a survivor, I'll never stop fighting for healing, transparency, and accountability.

Donald Trump doesn't want voters to hold him accountable in 2026 for his corruption.

So he's trying to rig Texas maps and dilute the votes of communities of colors and working families.

We can't let his scheme succeed in Texas — or it'll spread to the entire country.

NPS' decision to restore and reinstall the statue of Confederate Albert Pike is indefensible. Pike served dishonorably, misappropriated funds, and was ultimately imprisoned by his fellow troops.
 
I'll reintroduce my bill to remove the statue.

For every dollar invested in scientific research, Massachusetts sees double the economic benefit.

New jobs.
New businesses.
New cures and discoveries.

That's what the DRIVE Initiative is all about. Investing in discovery is good for the world — and it’s a good deal.

He drove from Las Vegas to New York with an AR-15, which cannot be purchased in New York.

This isn’t about New York.

This is about Republicans persistently blocking common sense gun safety reform, including an assault weapons ban, that a super majority of Americans support.

We're the wealthiest nation on earth. We don’t need “austerity” or tax breaks for billionaires.

We need policies that benefit working families, not just the 1%.

NOW is the time to EXPAND health care, INVEST in public education and BUILD low-income and affordable housing.

As the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act approaches, we face a stark truth: its most powerful protections have been stripped away.

The John Lewis VRAA is how we restore them, and we can protect the promise of democracy for all.

Breonna Taylor should be alive today.

She was shot and killed while sleeping when officers fired into her home.

By seeking a one-day sentence for her murder, Trump's DOJ is sending a cruel and disrespectful message: that they don't value her life or that of her loved ones.

Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled.

If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.
July 17, 2025 at 11:38 PM
Tell me the two aren't related.
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Republicans can issue a subpoena tomorrow to get the Epstein files.

If they don’t, they’re facilitating this cover up.
