My parents sent me to America alone at 16 because they believed in what this country promised. That promise wasn't about where you were born. It was about what you were willing to build. Immigrants have been building this country since before it was a country. And for 250 years, every generation has had to fight to keep that door open. This administration wants to slam it shut. Ban pregnant women. Strip birthright citizenship. Criminalize the very legal pathways that brought people like me here. We will fight that xenophobia.

Democracies don't fall because of outside invaders. They fall because leaders dismantle them from the inside. They attack the press. They intimidate judges. They use the power of government to punish political opponents. Sound familiar? We have to fight this with everything we have.

This decision is not about fairness. This is about cruelty dressed up as policy, targeting some of the most vulnerable kids in this country for being who they are. In Washington, we are saying no. We are organizing, we are building the No Hate in WA campaign, and we are going to keep protecting every kid's right to exist, to play, to belong. This fight is not over. We do not stop until every kid in this country is safe.

Shocker: Donald Trump is lying again. 🙄 He didn't lower prescription drug prices — he sided with Big Pharma, rolled back cost-lowering efforts, and left families paying more. He knows the truth. He just doesn't care.

Republicans literally created the longest shutdown in American history because they wouldn’t negotiate with us to lower health care costs for working Americans. Now, Mike Johnson is saying he’s “cleaning up the problem” by RAISING health care costs for millions of Americans. This is ridiculous.

My parents spent every last cent in their bank account to send me to America when I was 16. Fighting for justice and dignity for our immigrant neighbors has never been “just politics.” For me, it’s personal.

Republicans sent us home early so they can get a head start on ANOTHER vacation. Americans' premiums are doubling and tripling in the new year. But Speaker Johnson doesn’t care.

Donald Trump can't even run the United States – and now he wants to run Venezuela? His actions are unconstitutional, illegal, and not what the American people want.

I warned Biden and Harris directly: Our silence on Gaza was morally, legally, and politically wrong. We were told it wasn't in the data. That wasn't strategy – it was risk aversion dressed up as wisdom. Democrats cannot make that same mistake again this midterm season.

For years, Republicans have refused to fix an immigration system that everyone agrees is broken. But let's be honest about why: a broken system is useful to them. It lets ICE operate without oversight, without warrants, without regard for the families being torn apart in our communities. I refuse to accept that this is just how things are. We're organizing, we're demanding accountability, and we're not stopping until every person in this country is treated with the dignity they deserve.

If Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol can make $96 MILLION in just 4 months, he can afford to pay his workers a living wage. The problem isn’t scarcity, it’s greed.

.Peggy Flanagan has spent her career fighting for working people, and now she's ready to bring that fight to the U.S. Senate. I've seen her leadership up close. She doesn't back down. She doesn't negotiate away people's rights. She organizes, she delivers, and she wins. Together we're going to pass Medicare for All. We're going to stop ICE from tearing families apart. And we're going to build the progressive agenda this country needs. Minnesota, the primary is August 11. Vote for Peggy Flanagan.

I became the first naturalized citizen to serve as the ranking member of the subcommittee on immigration. That is a testament to the amazing things that can happen in America. But it could not have happened without the legal immigration process. And this administration is dismantling that same process for the next person hoping for what I got. I’m running for re-election to continue the fight of protecting immigrant communities. No one should be made to feel less than just because they were not born here 💜

I've spent my career fighting insurance and drug companies that put profit over people. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is doing the same thing in Michigan, standing up to Big Pharma and refusing to let AIPAC's millions dictate this race. Michigan families don't need another politician bought and paid for. They need a fighter. That's Abdul. I'm with him.

I’ve been in politics for a long time – I can handle whatever disrespect Pam Bondi throws at me. But I won’t stand for the way she dismissed the Epstein survivors during her hearing. These women deserve an Attorney General who will seek justice, not another one of Donald Trump’s personal attorneys.

Banning pregnant women from visiting America. Stripping birthright citizenship from the Constitution. Closing every legal pathway that immigrants have used for generations. This is Stephen Miller's America. Cruel by design. Racist by intention. And cheered on by an administration that has made xenophobia its governing philosophy. Two hundred and fifty years of immigration built this country. They will not tear it down.
