American politics are dead.
Lying is not being punished.
Violence is rewarded.
That's not politics. That's just fascism.

The Constitution empowers Congress to enact rules for deployment of the National Guard.

Not the president.

The Supreme Court must reject Trump’s attempt to rewrite the Constitution and our laws.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Ok. Hey “Trump officials,” keep saying this publicly. As much as you can. And tell Trump to say it as well.

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

It just seems like things have gone from bad to worse ever since the election in 2024. I’m skeptical that even the release of the Epstein files will make a difference at this point. The Republican Party is just a bunch of criminals anyway and their constituents still love them.
