It’s not a boycott.

We need to save the ACA tax credits, but we STILL NEED universal health care in America.

Whatever happens, I'll keep fighting for that.

Americans across the political spectrum support unions. And a bipartisan majority in Congress supports restoring federal workers’ union rights.

Workers organized. Now Congress must deliver.

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!

50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.

I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

Republicans have been silent as Trump bulldozes the East Wing and posts videos bombing protesters with feces, but they called Democrats' effort to save health care for working families "political terrorism."

Give me a break.

Senate Republicans want to pass a backdoor abortion ban through the ACA by blocking PRIVATE insurance from covering abortion care.

This is not about Hyde—it's an unprecedented NEW attack on abortion access. Not on my watch.

I hope the Dems realize that if they extend the ACA subsidies, and take no other steps, they are giving carte blanche to the biggest insurance companies and major hospital systems to find new ways to game the system and increase costs.

DHS is saying this is a lie. My response? They have no credibility.

This is not what I'm hearing from the community. This spokesperson is a miserable propagandist and proven liar, so there's no reason for anyone to believe her.

I want proof that Jose is unharmed & being treated with basic dignity.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

While unionized Starbucks workers are on strike for a fair contract, don’t cross the picket line!

Show solidarity — like Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders.

Listen to what they had to say.

Haters say “do it the right way,” but we're being arrested at our green card appointments.

“What risk did the community face from my client who... is the caregiver to his 17-year-old son, works, pays taxes, has no criminal history and was applying for a green card."

In what lawyers are saying is a new escalation of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation program, Immigration Customs and Enforcement agents are arresting people during their green card…

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

Throughout her life, Mrs. Rosalynn Carter championed caregivers, understanding the support they need to navigate the challenges of caring for those who are aging or ill. As we celebrate National Caregivers Month in November, you can honor caregivers by saying thank you.

I really cannot imagine going to all the trouble of getting elected to the Senate only to get there and decide not to stand up for healthcare, or democracy, or people’s ability to afford their lives. If those things aren’t worth fighting for, then truly what is?
