My first boss in politics, Paul Wellstone, often said, “You can remake the world daily.” As I told my friends in Wyoming, the opportunity and responsibility to make our country a better place is why we must put in the hard work to elect Democrats across the country.

Democrats have the momentum heading into November’s midterms. But as I told the National Federation of Democratic Women, momentum doesn’t knock on doors. It doesn’t register voters. It doesn’t get out the vote. We must put in the work to ensure a blue wave this fall.

Minnesota Democrats are fired up and ready to win 🔥

Every time tragedy has struck my home state, our community has responded to the worst of humanity with the best of Minnesota. I’m damn proud of that.

Tennessee Senate Minority Leader Raumesh Akbari is leading the fight after the Callais Supreme Court decision, pushing back against Republican attempts to gerrymander and dilute the voting power of Black communities across our nation.

I’m so proud of our When We Count fellows, who are registering new voters every day and making a difference in their communities.

I truly believe every single conversation we have and every voter we register between now and November matters. That’s why I was excited to be out in Arizona today with our When We Count fellows registering people to vote ahead of the midterms.

This is what the first partisan voter registration program in DNC history looks like! When We Count is registering thousands of voters in key states ahead of the midterms—and organizers like Miranda will be leading the charge.

Democrats won big in Wisconsin this week, and we’ve flipped 30 state legislature seats since Trump took office. We can’t afford to get complacent. Let’s roll up our sleeves and keep putting in the work through November.

As a former state party chair and organizer, I couldn’t be more proud to launch the DNC Playbook today—our guide to all the strategies Democratic campaigns need to win. Check it out at democrats.org/playbook!

Minnesotans have been through hell and back living under this administration. But Donald Trump won’t keep us down. We're going to keep standing up for what's right. We're going to keep fighting back.

Last night, a Democrat won a special election in Trump’s own backyard in Palm Beach, bringing us to a total of 29 state legislature flips since Trump took office.

Instead of passing TSA funding, which Democrats have proposed 7 different times, Trump’s fix to these outrageously long lines is to send ICE agents who have no relevant experience and killed American citizens into our airports.

No matter what Trump says, you’re paying more at the pump because of him. Watch our new ad.

Ask yourself: In Trump’s second term, are you “winning?” Because it sure doesn’t feel like it. Watch our new ad:

While Donald Trump was blabbering during the longest and worst State of the Union in the history of our nation, Democrats were winning elections.

While Donald Trump was lying his ass off, I attended the People’s State of the Union with Democrats who have a real vision for America’s future. Here’s what they had to say:

The State of the Union under Trump is weaker than ever. Here's why.

Stagnating wage growth, skyrocketing costs, and job losses across the board. That’s the Trump effect.

It was an honor to speak at the @cademocrats.bsky.social Convention today. It’s clear that if we want an economy that works for working people, we have to fight for it—and Democrats are not backing down.

I traveled to the great state of Maine to help Scott Harriman rally voters ahead of the special election for House District 94 on February 24. Scott is fighting for access to health care and lowering costs for Maine families. He's the leader Mainers deserve.

Caught up with Sen. @zaynabmmohamed.bsky.social in Minneapolis, who is doing incredible work in her community, standing up to ICE and fighting for immigrant families in her district. What gives us hope in these trying times is how Minnesotans have been showing up for each other.

Like my friend and DNC Midwest Caucus Chair Ron Harris said, we need to put in the work every single day leading up to this year’s midterms to make sure Democrats win and put a stop to this chaos. There’s no better time than now to get involved.

Taylor Rehmet won a huge Texas State Senate race last night, the first time Democrats took this seat in decades. Here’s the kicker: Trump won this district by 17 points in 2024. When I say we have wind at our back, Democrats, I mean it.

Minnesota, we are with you.

In Minneapolis, I caught up with my friend, AG @keithellison.bsky.social, who is leading the charge to hold ICE accountable in the courts and bring justice to Minnesotans.

Trump never delivered on his promise to lower costs on Day One. But you know who is? Democratic Governors Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill.

They pulled an elderly Hmong man out of his home in the Twin Cities in -18° weather wearing only shorts. That’s sick. This administration is dismantling civil rights, ignoring due process, and turning cruelty into policy. This isn’t law and order. It’s state-sanctioned abuse.

Minneapolis, keep standing up for justice. Democrats have your back.

If Trump thinks that taking health care away from Americans or occupying city streets with ICE agents is going to help his plummeting approval rating, he's got another thing coming.

Democrats have ceded too much ground to the GOP on voter registration. That's why we're launching When We Count, our largest-ever investment into registering Democratic voters.

Today the DNC is launching When We Count, a new program to train the next generation of organizers and register voters across the country. Here’s why:
