Trump's retreat from tariffs on coffee, bananas, and other groceries is an admission that his trade wars are driving prices up for the American people.

That is still just as true for the thousands of other goods he's keeping tariffs on!

Trump nationalized gerrymandering because he has no regard for Democracy. Until GOP stands up to him, and we can pass federal anti-gerrymandering laws, Dems must respond in kind. Even if we lose, at least we fought. Proud to see folks like @ssurovell.bsky.social and @marcussimon.com fighting in Va.
Breaking: A Utah judge just tossed out Republicans’ gerrymandered map and ordered a new map that will include a new safe Democratic seat.

Utah now joins California in helping to cancel out Trump’s gerrymandering.

The headlines about allegations always get more attention than the stories about resolution. Glad to see this chapter coming to a close for my colleague @DanHelmer . He handled a tough situation with integrity and patience. Onward.

As I tried to explain to my GOP colleagues on the floor the other day, we are following the law in our effort to give Virginians a chance to decide whether we redraw our Congressional map.

Winsome Sears is unhinged and doing her best Trump impression in this debate. Abigail Spanberger is remarkably poised and disciplined. The contrast is undeniable. Only one candidate is fit for office, Abigail Spanberger!

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

If you have never been to Chicago, it's impossible to explain how idiotic this is.

Weekends on the river are kayaks, canoes, party boats, and architecture tours.

Not a bunch of imaginary criminals sneaking around.

Given that guns are used in over half of youth suicides, removing access to firearms during times of crisis can mean the difference between life and death. It's a step we can take, right now, to save young lives.

Trump’s FCC is trying to cancel The View after celebrating Jimmy Kimmel’s takedown. This is a corrupt, unconstitutional assault on free speech.

I’m demanding FCC Chair Brendan Carr resign & Congress subpoena him so he can explain his violations of his oath to the Constitution.
