We need a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who have spent years working hard, paying taxes, and strengthening our communities.

In the end, Donald Trump cost Republicans the House, the Senate, and a generational loss of power across all 50 states. The orange fucking son of a bitch actually did it. He made America great again after all. 😏

If you go back and read the tweets, you'll see the same people who defended MERRICK GARLAND are now defending CHUCK SCHUMER & HAKEEM JEFFRIES.
When do we learn??
Why are we so afraid of change??
We have so much talent in the Democratic party, when do we put them forward??

We may have almost 260 seats in the seats in the House, possible 56 seats in the Senate. No more excuses. It's been almost 20 years. Let's get it done.
#RaiseTheWage
ALT A person stands behind a podium with the sign "RAISE THE WAGE" in front of a building with a dome, likely the U.S. Capitol. A social media post is overlaid, listing U.S. minimum wage information from 2009 and 2026, and billionaire wealth figures for the same years. It concludes with a call to raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour.

On the first night of Trump's war against Iran, I publicly and categorically opposed it, long before gas prices went up.

The American people trust Democrats way more than Republicans when it comes to healthcare.
We have to use this moment to put forward a truly comprehensive proposal. That’s Medicare for All.

This is what Stephen Miller celebrates—cruelty and inhumanity.
This child’s uncle had cared for him since his father’s deportation.
DHS says the uncle couldn’t establish legal guardianship and the boy was placed with the Office of Refugee Resettlement; school officials say the uncle was an authorized caregiver and are demanding his reunion with his family.
I can't tell if this child was placed in handcuffs. I pray he was not, this situation must have been terrifying enough.
Change can't come soon enough.

No amount of money should be able to buy an election. This cycle tested that belief like never before.
Dark money poured into races across the country, and big corporations and billionaire megadonors like Elon Musk bet they could drown out everyone else.
Then Election Day came and the people had the final say. Voters took their power back and sent a message loud and clear that America's democracy is NOT FOR SALE.
I'm grateful to every volunteer who knocked on a door, every neighbor who chipped in five dollars, and every voter who showed up.
Now we have to protect what they fought for.
I'll keep fighting in Congress to overturn Citizens United, shine a light on secret spending, and make it permanently clear that Big Money's influence has no place in our elections.
I've never taken a dime of corporate PAC money, and I never will. Our government should answer to the people it serves.

Stephen Miller is going to take Trump on a scorched earth tour and destroy as much of America before his presidency ends.

The people proved what is possible when folks of good conscience link arms & fight for our shared humanity.
They delivered a powerful rejection of the cruelty, callousness & corruption of the past 2 years.
And a mandate for bold, responsive policies that go as far as the hurt our communities face.

If a Democrat were caught on tape bragging about grabbing women, the family values crowd would have ended him in a news cycle. He was, and they made him their nominee twice. The values had a loophole shaped like power.

Pete Hegseth is like an eight-year-old playing with toy soldiers — and there has to be real accountability for his disastrous decisions.

Jeff Bezos wants Americans to stop demonizing billionaires.
Meanwhile, he’s sitting on a mountain of wealth while Amazon workers struggle to make ends meet and some rely on taxpayer-funded assistance.
Jeff, nobody had to invent a villain. You wrote the damn script yourself.

I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.
