Replying to @ewarren
Senator Warren, it’s been wonderful to see your active and enthusiastic support of now Senator Jackson! But then again, it isn’t surprising. It’s just really great.

This is the face of someone who's ready to protect Social Security by scrapping the cap and making billionaires pay their fair share.
Hello, DC. Let’s get to work. 🇺🇸

Just following orders…
Hegseth notes that everything he did was "ordered by the commander in chief" (he was just following orders, you see)

.@Lawrence: No Democratic leader of the House has ever had to face what Hakeem Jeffries had to face when Donald Trump decided to do redistricting halfway through the constitutionally mandated census periods. There is nothing more complicated in American politics than trying to mastermind House congressional elections, even without redistricting. Hakeem Jeffries coordinated the Democratic Party's response across the country to Donald Trump's redistricting, and the Democrats won almost all of the seats that Donald Trump tried to take away from them through redistricting.

Chris Van Hollen lays down the gauntlet on war funding: “Not a penny more.” He dares Trump to shut down the government in order to continue an unpopular war he promised never to launch in the first place. With Van Hollen open to a bid to challenge Schumer, this puts pressure on Schumer to match his commitment.

Hopefully Democrats can get Hegseth in to explain how Iran successfully Obliterated 18 U.S. Bases. Since he wants to talk about successes!

Accountability and affordability go hand in hand. Families are working two jobs while the President gets a $400 million jet from Qatar. Somebody’s priorities are off. Republicans skipped oversight. We won’t. Americans deserve answers.

I've always said this campaign belongs to the people of Mississippi, and I'm incredibly proud of everyone who made their voice heard. I'll work every day in the U.S. Senate to build a future that generations of Mississippians can be just as proud to call home.

History was made in Illinois. This past weekend on #PoliticsNation, I spoke with Illinois Lieutenant Governor and U.S. Senator-elect Juliana Stratton about her groundbreaking victory and what lies ahead as she prepares to become just the sixth Black woman in American history to serve in the United States Senate. We discussed the historic gains in Black representation in Congress, how the incoming Democratic majority should approach the Trump administration, and more. We also addressed her legislative priorities, including restoring cuts to healthcare and food assistance, raising wages, lowering costs for working families, and holding the administration accountable.

REPORTER: Will you work with Stephen Miller? JEFFRIES: No. *laughter* JEFFRIES: “Stephen Miller is a stone cold racist and I have zero interest in working with that kind of individual.”

I’m so BEYOND proud to have run the digital program for @TroyJackson207 this cycle. In 101 days, we started from scratch against a 30-year incumbent, and now, Maine is sending a working-class champion to the Senate. 🧵

Trump attacked Kaitlan Collins again and he actually had the nerve to call her a loser. Calling anyone a “loser” the week his party lost the House AND the Senate is wild. I stand with Kaitlan 💯

Brew a warm cup of wonderful. ☕ Roasted, ground, and brewed like coffee, Crio Bru Brewed Cacao has the flavor and aroma of pure dark chocolate. Yep! Instead of coffee bean grounds, it's 100% pure ground cacao. If cozy came in a cup… It would be this brewed cacao.

Trump spent a year pushing Republicans to rig him more House seats. In Missouri, they did it. Then 300,000 Missourians signed their names to force a vote on his map. He lost it by a number he won't be posting: dworkinsubstack.com/p/everyb…

I am especially glad to see Article 5 in @RepThomasMassie 8 articles of impeachment: Extrajudicial Killings in the Caribbean: Ordering unprovoked or extrajudicial strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean and leaving crews without rescue. These outrageous, unlawful killings need more attention.
