Unfortunately, it turns out we were right. The Trump admin, led by people like Stephen Miller, WAS considering invoking the Insurrection Act against American citizens. This shows that we all need to stay loud and keep calling this stuff out. They’re doing exactly what we think they’re doing.

Elon Musk is not an elected official. He's been elected to nothing and has no place inserting himself like he’s the president when Congress is trying to get disaster relief to those who need it.

I’m so sick and tired of Republicans dehumanizing trans kids, demonizing their parents, and controlling what's happening in your doctor's appointments. All we want is kids to be able to get the health care that their parent deems necessary to keep them alive.

The SAVE Act would put 1 in 4 women at risk of losing the right to vote. We cannot accept that – and no one should.

Todd Blanche has already shown himself to be a disgrace to our nation’s justice system. He has no right being our attorney general.

No Kings protests across the country were peaceful, safe, and widely attended. Nearly 7 million people showed up to protest Trump’s illegal, cruel, and deeply unpopular policies. This is America. No kings.

Republicans will tell you behind closed doors they are afraid. Afraid of their families being targeted, of Trump or Elon tweeting about them. They're keeping their heads down so no one will notice. Well here's the deal: this isn't going away. It's not going to just fade away.

One day, Kristi Noem won’t have Trump to hide behind. She will be held accountable for the terror she and her employees have unleashed on the American people.

Banning trans kids from sports solves *none* of the problems that Americans are facing. Let's be real: Trans kids aren't the reason we can't afford groceries. Trans kids aren't the reason young people are giving up on ever owning a home. Corporate greed is.

Kidnapping a foreign leader invites other countries to do the same. The Trump administration just handed China and Russia permission on a silver platter, risking global stability and putting American lives in jeopardy.

I was a history teacher and I know we have to be documenting this moment. When we look back, I don’t want us to say we didn’t know what was happening. Stephen Miller, probably the most joyless man in America, wants to take away one of our most foundational rights, habeas corpus.

If due process is denied for anyone, it can be denied for you too. If anyone can be snatched off the streets, detained, and deported without due process, it can happen to you too. We demand due process is upheld for every single person.

Powerful men around Epstein knew exactly what was going on and they condoned it. Powerful men continue to protect powerful men in Congress. Let the public see the Epstein files. We need one more signature on Massie's discharge petition.

Republicans started it and Dems ended it last night in Virginia. We need to get back to drawing these voting maps in a bipartisan way, but in the short term, voters across the country are rejecting the GOP attempts to rig these midterms.

I will fight with everything I have to bring justice for today's deadly Minneapolis shooting and ICE's horrific violence.

AG Pam Bondi brought a portfolio of degrading insults before the House Judiciary Committee today, but failed to bring evidence, answers, or accountability. Today’s hearing confirmed that this DOJ protects pedophiles and sex offenders in power, not the American people.

Heartbreak doesn’t convey the devastation of what happened to Alex Jeffrey Pretti today. His own government killed him in cold blood. The Senate cannot pass the DHS funding bill to allow these disgusting actions to continue.

Ghislane Maxwell lured countless children into Jeffrey Epstein’s global pedophile ring. Now, some Republicans are openly floating giving her a pardon. It’s outrageous. We need to end the special treatment for the Epstein class.

Trump is threatening the safety of my colleagues for trying to uphold the rule of law and obey the Constitution.

Banning trans kids from sports solves none of the problems that Americans are facing. Let's be real: Trans kids aren't the reason we can't afford groceries. Trans kids aren't the reason young people are giving up on ever owning a home. Corporate greed is.
