Grateful to Virginia Canter from Democracy Defense Action for joining our Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force meeting this week.   We need real change, and we are determined to find the best path forward, together.

Millions of Americans—including many here in Rochester—have concerns about the National Guard being deployed to polling places.   During an Appropriations hearing last week, I asked the Chief of the National Guard about their plans for the upcoming election.   Watch his answer:

As top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'm working to make sure every American has the chance to make their voices heard at the ballot box.   We won't allow voters or election officials to be intimidated by the Trump Administration.

Republicans are very concerned about the verdict of the American people in the midterms.   That's why they're trying to limit how people vote. We're not going to let them.

In the 2024 presidential election, nearly 90 million eligible Americans chose not to vote. We should be doing everything we can to engage people and build their faith in this institution that we call American democracy, not adding barriers that make it harder to vote.

When I talk to business leaders here in Rochester, they all share the same feeling, predictability is critical to their success. The Trump Administration brings nothing but chaos for our local businesses.

Scams targeting seniors are only becoming more common. No one should have to worry about being tricked out of their savings or personal information.   Let’s look out for one another and make sure our loved ones have the tools to stay protected.

Great to be with @reptedlieu.bsky.social for a briefing on election security this week.   We're going to stop any attempts by the Trump Administration to restrict free and fair elections.

The Trump Administration's immigration claims are nothing but a lie. They are not going after the “worst of the worst,” and they know it. They're going after people who are simply trying to chase the American dream because it serves them politically.

Once again, Donald Trump is off on an unhinged rant about the fairness of an election where votes didn't go his way. He cannot accept defeat.   We will not allow him to silence the voices of American voters.

Rabbits would be very cute if they were not so destructive! Our goal is to keep the rabbits out of the plants. Thank you for supporting small businesses; we appreciate you! BTW, today is a good day to release all of the Epstein files. #Garden #FarmLife #Rabbits

We found a bounty of Grogu and Mandalorian sensory toys at Target today! These on-the-go stroller toys are perfect for young foundlings. The choices includes a 9-inch Grogu or 9-inch Mando, both with crinkle sounds and ribbons or a Mando or Grogu blanky with chewable teether feet.

Five days, five different explanations for why President Trump bombed Iran. The only thing that is clear is that this Administration seems to have no plan or strategy.

The way Lawrence Jones talks about the Iranian regime he could just as easily be talking about the United States. Who is the bad faith actor? Trump hasn't been honest with the American public. We have openly double crossed Iran more than once.

🤼Well now things get interesting. Kirishima lost focus for an instant and fell to Shodai's hatakikomi. Shodai is just 4-6 but Kirishima is now one of 6 wrestlers at 8-2 and 4 more sitting at 7-3 now have a ray of hope. It's Day 15 and 1/4 of the field is mathematically in contention.

Times up Susan. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Looking forward to your defeat, you enabler.

The overarching theme of his campaign, as he laid out in 2019, was structural democratic reform. Most people how no clue he was so very little attention was paid to him. But he has been paying attention to what needs to be done for many years.
