I’m honestly tired of some of my colleagues’ “elevator courage.” There are public servants across the country who are being threatened and harassed, but they’re still doing the right thing for their communities. It’s that bravery that’ll get us through this moment.

BIG NEWS: the House just voted to end the war in Iran!

Right now, we’re watching a systematic attack on the political power of Black voters across the South. It threatens to bring us back to a deeply shameful part of our past. Today, I’m standing in solidarity with the National Day of Action and in support of fair representation for every American.
It was a loooong night - but ultimately we were able to show some real strength by preventing a clean FISA reauthorization that fails to protect Americans’ privacy. They were only able to get a very short extension that runs until the end of April. We still have a chance to get this right.
Republicans in Congress are going to new lengths to cover up the disgusting crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell. As I’ve said, we can’t have one system of justice for the powerful and another for the rest of us.
This has always been an administration focused on the very top, and everyone else just can’t make the math work right now. Where was any acknowledgement of that from Russ Vought yesterday?
Future generations will ask us where we stood, what we said, what we did when we had these platforms. They will ask us if we bowed down to a tyrant, to a bigot, to a man who spreads hate. I know where I stand.
Even in these hard times, we’ve got to try to do hard things and trust that we’ll figure it out in the end. Because we will figure this out - together.
With the money Trump wants for his war of choice in Iran, we could fund the ACA tax credits FOR TEN YEARS. Vermonters and folks across the nation are suffering from this admin’s backwards priorities.
Trump is being way too cavalier about the war he started in Iran. He missed negotiations for a UFC fight, ignored the advice of experts, and has put our service members in harms way. We need to call it all out and hold this admin accountable for this mess.
RFK, Jr. has been a disaster at HHS. Americans are getting sicker and are in more danger as the result of his “leadership” while he posts topless videos of himself working out in jeans for some reason. Do your damn job.
The Trump admin is trying to restrict our access to information about contraception by attacking Title X. They want to force women to have babies they’re not ready for. Thats what this is all about, and we are going to fight it the whole way.

HAMAS WAS NEVER A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. The lies & propaganda that is spread by the US & Israel is only to support & serve themselves & to justify GENOCIDE. ETHNIC CLEANSING of Palestinians. This is SICK & INHUMANE. #EgalitarianAF #FreePalestine #FreeSudan #FreeCongo #FreeYemen #EndGenocide
Trump released a last minute video against Thomas Massie. He really wants to defeat the guy who forced him to begin releasing the Epstein files.

What rank did you hold in the armed forces again, Mark? What branch did you serve in? Do you really think your criticism holds any weight here? Joe Biden received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War due to asthma. Did you ever criticize him? STFÙ and keep your pants on, lòser.
