Thank you @CBCPAC for having me at your 2025 New York Retreat. We all share the same goals: winning the midterms, flipping the House of Representatives blue, and upholding our democracy. Let's get it done.
Texas Republicans should be focused on helping people recover from the flood. They’re scheming to cheat voters instead. I’m in Texas today to fight back.
You voted against releasing the Epstein files, Marjorie. You drew the line—and then ran from it when it got too close to your political friends. Spare us the fake outrage. You can’t demand the truth while helping bury it.
America deserves the truth about Jeffrey Epstein and the rich powerful elites in his circle. The line is drawn with anyone who abuses children and vulnerable innocent people. When George Santos is going to prison for 7 years but Epstein only served 13 months, our justice system…
Today, I met with Rep. @jamie_raskin’s Democracy Summer Fellows at DNC HQ! They are our next generation of organizers and leaders, and they reminded me of the people I met when I organized for Paul Wellstone in high school. We can’t give up on our future. I know our young…
.@RepThomasMassie and I have the votes to easily pass the full release of the Epstein files. The Speaker is recessing Congress without giving us a vote. RT if you believe members of Congress should have to vote yes or no on the release before their summer vacation.
Republicans think everybody will forget about the Epstein files if they hightail it out of DC. Not happening. They promised transparency. What are they covering up?
House Republicans have shut down floor votes and will likely adjourn for 6 weeks to avoid voting for the release of the Epstein files.
We’re focused not just on winning in federal and state elections, but local elections too. If you want to help Democrats build power from the ground up and make a difference in your community, text FIGHT to 43367.
Abbott is using the deaths of hundreds of Texans as a political opportunity. Will they hold hearings on flooding first? Will they prioritize legislation that saves lives? Or will they choose political games over what Texans actually need? We're watching. #txlege
On Trump’s order, Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans are hijacking a special session that should be focused on flood victims so they can ram through a gerrymandering scheme. This is a clear political ploy to hold Congress in 2026. Let’s kick these cowards out in the midterms.
Trump and Texas Republicans are focused on rigging congressional maps to undermine the system and undercut the will of the people. It’s outrageous. But if Republicans want a showdown, Democrats will give them a showdown.
I met with @GeneforTexas in Houston to talk about the Republican plot to cheat Texas voters. And you can join the @texasdemocrats in the fight back against this GOP power grab—go to StopTheTexasSteal.com to learn more.
I’m on the ground in Houston with @GeneforTexas, who is leading the charge against the Republican gerrymandering scheme. The GOP is so scared of losing in 2026 that they’ll stoop so low as to cheat the system during this flood crisis.
When you make a promise to the American people, you damn well better keep it. Democrats are going to keep the pressure on the Trump administration to release the Epstein files.
It’s my birthday today! Excited to spend the evening catching up with family and not receiving any secret letters from Donald Trump.
New reporting has uncovered Trump's note to Epstein in a birthday card: "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret... We have certain things in common, Jeffrey"
Looking forward to joining my friend @SimonWDC on the Hopium Chronicles on Substack! Tune in now! open.substack.com/live-stream/42…
The DNC is getting out of DC -- today @TheDemocrats Daily Blueprint spoke to some of our state party chairs from Las Vegas, where they're meeting to prepare for upcoming elections. We're taking you behind the curtain, including w/ ASDC President & DNC Vice Chair @janekleeb!
Emil Bove would be a blank check for Donald Trump with a lifetime appointment. Having him on the bench would be a danger to our country. He’s so bad that 900 DOJ alumni have urged the Senate to reject his nomination. Senate Democrats just stood up for the rule of law.
Emil Bove will put Trump’s political retribution above the law. Senate Democrats are standing up against this blatant attempt to rubber stamp Trump’s agenda.
One of the things I always ask people in political organizing is, “What is your why?” I sat down with Zayed Kadir, the chair of the High School Democrats of America, to hear what inspires him to do this work.
Had a great meeting with @hsdems today in Washington, D.C., and revisiting my time as a young Democrat. The foundation of our party is impossible to build without young people.
Trump's spiraling. What's in those files that he doesn't want us to see?
Trump shares new post calling the Epstein files a "scam," a "hoax," and "bullshit." He calls his own concerned voters "weaklings" and says "I don’t want their support anymore."
