Congratulations to Lula on his extraordinary reelection victory in the Brazilian presidential election.
Lula has stood up for Brazilian workers & democracy — and will continue to do so in the next four years.

Why is life expectancy in McDowell County, WV, just 65 years — 14 years below the national average?
The answer: poverty and economic stress.
In the richest country on earth, no community — rural or urban — should have to live under these conditions. We can and must do better.

We're told progressive ideas are "fringe." Really?
59% want Medicare for All
57% want a $20 minimum wage
61% want a billionaire wealth tax
63% want to pause AI development
66% want the wealthy to pay more into Social Security
Maybe it's the establishment that's out of touch.

We cannot allow America to become a surveillance state where AI oligarchs profit by giving the government the power to track our every movement.
That is why @AOC, @JeffMerkley and I are introducing the BAN FLOCK Act to block federal funding for automatic license plate readers.

Absolutely killing it, team. Way to boost morale.
Sir — beautiful signature, sir

This video of the Patriots after the 2019 AFC Championship in KC is incredible.
We’ll never see a leader like Tom Brady again. Goes up to every single person in the locker room. Belichick looks so happy. Gronk is awesome. Edelman saying “I wanna play to make you great” is so cool to see. This was peak Patriots football. This is what made the dynasty so great.

My message to the AI CEO’s:
If you truly care about the future of humanity, stop pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into super PACs to defeat Members of Congress and candidates who are fighting for serious guardrails on AI.

Grand Rapids, Michigan: Great rally. Another standing room only crowd.
The billionaires got the money. We got the momentum and the people.
@AbdulElSayed is going to win.

The American people—in New York and all across this country—are sick and tired of status quo politics.
They're sick and tired of a rigged economy.
And they’re sick and tired of billionaires and their super PACs buying elections.
Let's organize and continue winning elections.

The flood of billionaire money that will come against Graham Platner is no accident.
Whether it is AI, AIPAC or crypto, billionaire-funded super PACs will spend hundreds of millions to defeat candidates who stand with working people and challenge their power.

60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck.
And they're asking themselves a simple question:
Does anybody in Washington know that I am alive?
