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.

.Dr. Abdul El-Sayed said it best: we are the richest country in the world, yet we are spending money on unconstitutional foreign wars instead of expanding health care access here at home for people who need it most. The coalition fighting for Medicare for All is expanding, and I am so happy to have leaders with me in Washington like Abdul who will take on these broken systems.

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.

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.

.Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: The biggest challenge to Medicare for All “is creating the political will to get there.” The hard part is beating back a system built by pharmaceutical and insurance companies who spend billions to keep us divided, confused, and convinced this is impossible. That's exactly why we're building this movement, one district, one race, one voter at a time. Healthcare is a human right, and we will never stop fighting for it.

Being undocumented is NOT a crime in the U.S. Trump needs to stop treating our neighbors like criminals and wasting resources to terrorize our communities. Enough is enough.

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.

.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.

What do we, as Democrats, stand for? We can’t just be AGAINST Trump; we have to be FOR something. I know what I stand for. Medicare for All. Living wages for all. Universal childcare. An economy that works for EVERYONE. I hope you’ll join me.

EVERY person deserves their day in court. Republicans have no right to ignore due process for immigrants. My amendment requires a conviction before people can be deported.

Today, House Republicans passed a bill banning trans youth nationwide from participating in sports. This legislation is as extreme and hateful as the legislators proposing it. I voted no, and I urge every Senator to do the same.

Medicare for All can bring down drug prices for all of us. This is because Medicare becomes the buyer on behalf of the country, so it can use its buying power to bring those rates down. These are the facts Republicans and their pharmaceutical donors don't want you to hear, because it means losing their grip on your health care.
